KidsGrace is our entry for Ludum Dare 33, which theme is “You are the monster”. In this game your role is to entertain the kids in a birthday party trying not to disappoint them. Don’t be a real monster to those kids!
Great art and animation. Also the setting and interpretation of the theme is clever.
Suggestions: Add some kind of icon for each button instead of having us read letters. For example, an arrow pointing up for W or down for S would give a more visual feedback for what to hit. It'd also be great with some levels instead of going infinitely (ie: you move from 1 party to another party with each one getting harder).
Very nice moves ;) It's not suited for azerty keyboard, and when we change the Keymapping we get lost VERY fast, so a play azerty with some key a bit far, maybe using the numpad ? It's the same for everybody and easier to focus. Nice game anyway. ;) I have a kid (monster?) to entertain if you want in my game ! :p
Nice and sharp graphics. the game is cute and fun for a few minutes. Well done for ludum. Could use some sort of development as the game progresses. maybe more dancers or faster song. But really well done.
This is really polished visually, and all the audio is really good. I wasn't sure if the game is meant to run infinitely, so I just stopped dancing. Some more stages or a speed up would be cool.
Looks great. Wasn't entirely certain until testing that as the game progressed I was hitting the key too slowly instead of having a correct press misread. Interesting to discover that, with FPS-control literacy, I know exactly where "q" and "e" are, but not necessarily which of WASD are WAS and D, respectively. Not in muscle memory, anyway. Not a huge amount of variety, but an interesting challenge nonetheless.
Very cute game! It goes on a bit long and it feels like the keys stay on the screen a tad too long to make you believe you can hit them. Still the art is great and the reactions and the changing dance moves as you do better/worse really sell the game. Great job!
What an awesome game! Those animations were hilarious, and was that whisper sound effect from Rayman 2: The Great Escape? Loved that game, almost the same way I like yours. :)
Nice polish; very cute graphics and audio! I wish there was more feedback distinguishing between the keys I've pressed too slow vs keys I mispressed. Otherwise nicely done!
The animations were great and cheerful, I love how unenthusiastic the dancer gets with lower rankings. The gameplay gets repetitive pretty fast though.
The game is pretty fun, probably most fun I played so far. It gets repetitive and I am not sure if the difficulty increases, I basically got bored after a while and made my self lose. Animations were the best part.
Very good game, wish you added more letters later on in the game, so that the difficulty could scale. It would prove a really cool learning tool for kids!
Cute little game and a good take on the theme. The problem I had was that while I know WASD very well and can type fast, associating a finger to the key was difficult for some reason, making the game very challenging for me. Well done.
Really cute! The song is gonna stay with me for a while. I think that it would be very cool if it got harder and harder. It got repetitive after a while. Good job guys!

how cute hahahahaha well made! Had a great time playing :)
One of the most polished looking games I've played yet! The take on the theme is refreshing to see and the audio, graphics, and simple gameplay all worked together to make a fun little performance! Bravo!
Super cute, fun game! I included it in part 31 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/smH_qgd8pMY

I like that it works with highscore on gamejolt.
Gets a bit repetitive though after a while.
Maybe increase the difficulty (faster?)
Good job!

Cool game, it's simple. More difficulty would be nice
