DanceFu made for Ludum Dare Jam.
For the theme I merged fighting games, and rhythm games.

The controls are: Player One: A = Move Left, D = Move Right, W = Jump, U = Punch, and I = Kick, if you plug in a controller the left joystick, left and right moves character left and right, A = Jump, X = Punch, Y = Kick.
Player Two: Left Arrow Key = Move Left, Right Arrow Key = Move Right, Up Arrow Key = Jump, Numpad1 = Punch, Numpad2 = Kick, If you plug in a second controller it takes over player twos movement with same controls as player one.

The aim of the game is to attack to the beat by pressing the correct button Once it hits the little bar icon down the bottom, menu controls are mouse and left click

(character art made by my good friend Blair, All other art made by me, and special thanks to Ethan, Matthew, and Tom, for keeping me sane through this amazing experience!)

Good idea but not clear I tap in time or not. No visible sign for this

Nice idea! The gameplay has potential but consider introducing the gameplay mechanics little by little to the player. When I started the game I felt a little bit overwhelmed by the rhythm :)

Keep up the good work, congratulations!

As a fellow first time jammer, I commend you for your effort. I know how hard it is to complete an entry when you're not that experienced at making games. You've managed to complete a fun and interesting game that works, so good job! It's a solid entry that could've used a bit more polish, but I had fun playing it. Cheers!

Nice beat fighter! I like that the limits are not that strict and I can fail a lot :P Putting the move controls in the game before the fight starts would have been good, first thought I only should do U and I

This is an interesting idea and would love to see it in its full potential. I guess it would be great to have some AI included and perhaps better information about the mechanics & controls. Overall very solid entry. Good Job! It got it's beat :)
