Couldn't run it, it says there wasn't enough WebGL memory. You might want to increase the memory requirements in the player settings, and try again.

Pajama-Llama13 Dec 2016, 14:32

Haha, had some fun! In one run I (broke?) it by having a blue tile 4 times really fast and I was kicked offscreen.

LoadedGames13 Dec 2016, 14:36

Overall it was a really fun game, I didn't have audio available so I couldn't rate it but everything else was above average. I did find a bug with the blue tiles where my character would disappear and I could only restart by refreshing the page.

saurterrs13 Dec 2016, 14:48

That was reaalyy sweet ;)))
Wish I could load own music files to play.
Make it another audisurf in future, please )))

Dogeveloper13 Dec 2016, 14:49

Awesome cute game! Loving it! One prolem i encountered tho is that sometimes the gecko disappears after standing on a blue platform.

WizzardMaker13 Dec 2016, 14:54

Great game! Had lots of fun, got a bit repetitive at the end, but the music made me forget that. Good work

SimonHutchinson13 Dec 2016, 15:19

Awesome! I could play this all day. It looks, sounds, and feels great!

Man, I love being a dancing gecko.

bigpan13 Dec 2016, 17:53

I think you did a great job with the dancing mechanics, kept me playing for a long time, I liked it even though it's a little bit repetitive, my only suggestion so far would be to improve the animations, especially the gecko one.

winwanwon13 Dec 2016, 18:00

Great concept with nice music, I think if the game has a combo system it may be more fun and challenging :)
Anyway, it's awesome!

mvieira13 Dec 2016, 20:57

Great Game! I could only get to run on Firefox. Loved the music and had lots of fun.

Put some powerups + music tracks to choose and it will be even better. I dont forget more dancers...LOL

BlackQuiltro13 Dec 2016, 22:05

This is amazing!! :) Great music and mood. Really good!

quiv14 Dec 2016, 00:03

This game is so fun! Awesome animations to go with the music, and cool take on the rhythm genre! Very well done, loved it :D

Tkachov14 Dec 2016, 07:54

Wow, that was actually very fun to play. Nice graphics and audio track.

Not sure if that's intended, but in the end Gecko disappeared a few seconds before track ended while I was jumping very fast.

vrojman14 Dec 2016, 20:23

Very fun game and nice adaptation to the theme!

Uliana Galich14 Dec 2016, 20:25

Very nice game.disko super star))) Ave Ceasar

A-Flat Miner Studios14 Dec 2016, 21:14

Saw one of your early posts on Saturday or so and our entire team was excited to play just from the pic of your dude doing the disco point. Fantastic music, *super funny dancing animations.* Seriously, I don't know if I laughed at the arm roll or the hands-on-hips thrust more. Great job!

Evergreen Games14 Dec 2016, 22:01

Awesome music! I had fun. The blue tiles are really satisfying to hit.

pyokoanarogue15 Dec 2016, 00:27

Really cool! liked it very much!

Leroyii15 Dec 2016, 03:27

I really enjoyed it, but I have nothing to base my score off of, so I can't tell how well I did.

emmelineprufrock15 Dec 2016, 03:53

A decent run. I'm normally pretty pants at rhythm games, but I had a lot of fun with this little gecko.

thu_denny15 Dec 2016, 04:20

Cool entry!
Floor switch is great fun. But I just can't finish the song(so many red blocks)...

mao15 Dec 2016, 04:26

I liked the music :D

I was a little confused about when the panels count (at the start or end of the beat?) but I still managed to do pretty well.

Devastus15 Dec 2016, 15:23

That's awesome, and groovy as hell. I got a score of 4930, which is probably not that much, but I enjoyed it alot!

Sean15 Dec 2016, 16:58

Interesting take on the rhythm genre! The floor switching in particular was a neat feature.

One thing that sort of threw me off is that I was never quite certain whether I was supposed to be on the blocks when they reached the last row or when they left the last row. The gecko being able to stand in-between blocks made this a bit more of an issue; in a more standard rhythm game I think the player would pick up on the correct timing faster since they'd be constrained to the grid.

Overall, a nice entry!

Moeilijk16 Dec 2016, 09:15

I really like this game. Love the music and the art.
Personally not really the rhythm game type myself, but this was quite enjoyable.

Swordbrella16 Dec 2016, 14:38

AMAZING. The best game I've rated so far. Loved everything about it :D. Clever idea and great execution :D

calzep16 Dec 2016, 16:07

HILARIOUS!! Better than DDR. LOL

sacredseedstudio16 Dec 2016, 17:38

So far this is one of my favourite games. It was hard to stop, Really awesome, great job!

desucrerer16 Dec 2016, 17:42

That was a great little game experience. Funky sound, innovative gameplay. Cool game dynamics regarding the move patterns, character movement and music. Parapa the Rapper style... the disco-croc is just the beginning ;)

Przekop16 Dec 2016, 17:42

GROOOOVY

Split8216 Dec 2016, 21:42

Awesome music :) This was really fun. Great job.

ChatPion16 Dec 2016, 21:54

I felt absolutely fabulous ! I just wish for more than the clapping.

My Sweet Whomp16 Dec 2016, 22:12

Close to perfection for a jam game, extremely fun and polished! Great game!

erikiene16 Dec 2016, 22:35

Just... wow. I was feeling the beat so bad I could not stop and even though numerous times I thought "Maybe it's infinite?" I just couldn't get myself to quit. Amazing entry!

youngbrothers17 Dec 2016, 08:34

Nicely polished. The movement felt good, and the level is quite balanced, on the first try I was just able to make the end of the song. The clapping of the audience could be slightly better in sync with the music, that would give it a touch more energy even.
Well done!

Jupiter_Hadley17 Dec 2016, 16:04

Fun game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/xWdPMmlW1Hs

Archonthewizard17 Dec 2016, 16:37

Wow! Great take on the rhythm genre. It got a bit challenging towards the end, but was really fun throughout! Nice work!

pkenney17 Dec 2016, 18:21

Wow, what a slick little package! Lots of nice little touches, and I really felt the groove. Nice work!

XenosNS17 Dec 2016, 22:18

Funky! Looks great, plays great, excellent.

HotByteDog17 Dec 2016, 23:58

Sweet 70ies disco feeling in every pixel and note of this game. This calls for more action like getting good scores for special moves on the the dance floor, e.g. making the flipping in a 6 times combo or so.

Joshsimard18 Dec 2016, 05:48

Groovy baby! Loved the concept!

Broxxar18 Dec 2016, 08:45

Wow that is one stylish gecko! Really enjoyed this, love the animations and the music. Fantastic work!

Roms18 Dec 2016, 15:00

I love the atmosphere you've created, so much palying it, even if I find it a bit hard ! Great jobs guys !

Ygogo19 Dec 2016, 08:43

Great !!! Graphics, sound and gameplay is perfect !!

makhovykh19 Dec 2016, 16:41

The best game i ever seen this jam! 10/10

Diplodino19 Dec 2016, 17:51

Hooo man that was FUNKY ! Love the music, even if the gameplay was sometimes to... Hard and not really easy to understand ! But this dancing lizard kept me playing ! Check out our game which is also a tribute to the 70s !

Gipzo20 Dec 2016, 21:01

Great game, interesting game mechanics and audio :)
Looking forward for some mobile or PC release :D

ema1ih21 Dec 2016, 13:24

This gaame was so good, addictive, nice music, love the animations, great work :)

xesenix22 Dec 2016, 18:51

Great idea and execution one of best games i have plaid here.

Dynamic Panic Studios22 Dec 2016, 19:34

Awesome game. I really enjoyed it!

AcuadoyStudios22 Dec 2016, 22:03

Hey, this is a really nice game.
I like the idea and its funny how the player dashes.
Great work on the art and music!
Also please go ahead and test out my game!

Palarus23 Dec 2016, 22:25

5/5 Great Game! Just wow!

Lovely Character, very fit in the theme. Easy mechanic, simple to understand hard to master. I love the rhythm games. Plus the changing floor seems to me a great idea. I encourage you to polish the game, it can make it out there with enough caring.

SUNFURY24 Dec 2016, 11:02

hell yeah! rocked that room!

Xanjos25 Dec 2016, 00:06

Pretty fun concept and really enjoyable to play and I loved how the tiles light up in time to the music (Dashing seems a bit slow though).

Notester25 Dec 2016, 05:28

This was a really cool game~ :) I really liked the concept and music the most.

Doomdad25 Dec 2016, 06:58

3641 score! Great fun nice music wish there were more!

PowerSpark25 Dec 2016, 08:00

Really, really fun :D love the music, awesome idea haha it had some great animations too.

tylerraz25 Dec 2016, 08:46

Good game and funky tune. Keep working on it, for sure!

stupidmindlessf25 Dec 2016, 09:15

This is brilliant! Best music and really fun gameplay. Love the blue tiles and being thrown to ceailing or bottom. I wished there was some more animation feedback for being on the different tiles, like doing super moves when on golden ones and struggeling when on a red one, but that would be post-LD material.
Awesome game!

DDRKirby(ISQ)25 Dec 2016, 10:11

Pretty interesting idea! I like the general concept but feel like the execution could maybe have been a little better (?). But I can't say exactly how. One thing is that I'm not sure how I feel about the smooth movement as opposed to being locked to tiles (a la Crypt of the Necrodancer).

That being said this was still pretty fun!

faceless7125 Dec 2016, 14:15

Very nice and fun game. Well done!

Stending26 Dec 2016, 00:36

WOOOOW, that's a full 5/5 for me!
Really new and really fun, works well on every category!

I love to see some other music games this LD!
Congratulations for this entry, that's gorgeous <3

Geckoo133726 Dec 2016, 13:05

One of my favorites. Geckoo loves his new friend :)
Without any doubt, this is the best track which has been used during the 37th LudumDare. The main gameplay is really good - especially this opportunity to dance on the roof. All mechanics work well - like a charm. An amazing experience. Well done ++

peredm26 Dec 2016, 20:50

I love this game, I even played it twice!!!
The art and music are amazing and the gameplay is very good too.
In my opinion the mechanics would be better if you moved instantly one tile every time you press the arrows (sticked to a grid) and the dash made you move 3 tiles or something like that. This way the game would be more about following the rythm (the closest you are to the beat the better score you get). That's just how I'd make it.
Still, amazing game and original idea. Very polished art. Good job guys.

MrTroy27 Dec 2016, 23:36

I love this game! I played it a few times just to get a better feel for the game, I still wasn't able to get a proper rhythm going, and the game would seem to abruptly end (because my meter was empty). Just a small suggestion to help would be to have the lizard's expression change as the game is about to end, because that's where my eyes are focused.

Green Soda28 Dec 2016, 05:51

OH MY -- !!
This looks legit and well-done! Make this a mobile game!!! I LOVE RHYTHM GAMES MAN!
This is really good and fun... awesome mechanic too as it's something quite new in rhythm games.. I like how you fit this to the theme...

If I have to suggest something to make this better, it would be adding more eye candies so it wouldnt look empty...
But I have to say, this is a solid entry 5/5

Green Soda28 Dec 2016, 05:53

HARD

Cerno_b30 Dec 2016, 14:31

That was great fun. Made it on my first try.

Graphics and music are insanely well done and the hand crafted floor patterns feel like a lot of thought has gone into them.

Great job!

runvs1 Jan 2017, 19:14

Nice game and great idea! I like the dashing mechanic as well as the pulsed glow of the lights!

Almax271 Jan 2017, 20:35

Funky! :D

I would have liked to see the score while I played and have a highscore tracked after each play through. Otherwise a ridiculously bodacious game.

Oddly Shaped Pixels2 Jan 2017, 10:23

I love it! I don't have anything to say, it's just perfect, a cool concept, a great execution, impressive !
(Oh yes, just one little tiny thing: if there could be some audio feedback on the music like in GuitarHero when you're doing bad or great, that'd be icin on the cake!)
