Extremely weird and wonderful, was extremely funny, reminded me of a nightclub I went to once...

heh, actually game was created from memories of some club in Barselona

It's the start of a good concept, but right now it's not really a game, more of a proof of concept. If you make it so that the zombies attack the player, but are vulnerable to music, and you have to navigate levels playing different music to cause different dances (which cause different movements) then you've got a game!

thanks for good idea! yes, it's a proof of concept, original idea was to force zombies to some traps. Maybe will do it later.

Woah, I did a dancing game too :) I giggled a lot playing this, only gripe is it sort of hung up a few times and I couldn't get the strobe light to turn on. Cool stuff!

This is so wtf !
Liked it ^^

Strobe light works only in the latest version. Also crash was fixed there. i I added link to post Jam version to the post.

It's al very well done. Impressive.
Too bad there is not much of a game to it.
Had fun anyway.

Could not run the game, Installed Visual C++ 2013 runtime, but to no avail :/

it's bad ( could you share (by dropbox?) log.txt file from the root folder? btw it's DirectX 11 and OS from Vista.

A good start, but it could use some more gameplay mechanics.
If you're going to develop it, keep the wtf aspect in it :D

this game is pure wtf ) yes, it needs more dance animations and gameplay
