A rhythm game in which you have to keep your inner dancer alive by evoiding to click off the required beat.

* Click to the beat where the disco balls change their color.
* It is tricky but manageable, once you understand the mechanics :)
* I have updated the entry, after making the game a bit easier to play - please let me know what you think!

Tools used to make this game:
Unity + C#, Cubase, Blender, Mixamo

* Sebastian: 3D modeling
* Caroline: Everything else

I didn't understand how to play.

Game is fun for sure, but it is not self explenatory and I have no idea how to play it, add some instructions please! :)

Yeetukus20 Apr 2020, 15:45

I agree with other people I have no clue how to play my guy just keeps falling over

+1 to the gentlemen above!

Please explain how to play, at least in the description.

As other people are saying, I had some trouble figuring out how to play. Once I figured it out though, it's a nice little rhythm game. I wish there was an option to play with my keyboard instead of clicking the balls with my mouse.

Very fun game. I love the dancing character!!!

Sorry @ege686, @bigtinygames and @yeetukus.
I thought it was self explenatory because it is just a rhythm game, where you have to click on the beat, where the discoballs meet the colored squares. Its a bit fast though...
Thanks for letting me know about your difficulties with the mechanics :)

@doodlebrisk Thanks for feedback. I choose the mouse controls because I might want to make it a mobile game, where you tap on the screen.

Good Job but it's a shame there is no UI to understand how to play

CodeForJoyCaroauthor20 Apr 2020, 16:35

@sebastian-caron Thanks, I apparently overestimated you guys. I thought that extra UI were not necessary and I wanted to achieve a clean and minimalistic look.

CodeForJoyCaroauthor20 Apr 2020, 16:57

I just updated the game to make it a bit easier. Hope that helps :)

It takes some tries to get used, but after that it's a fun game with a nice song. Good job :smiley:

CodeForJoyCaroauthor21 Apr 2020, 06:26

Thanks a lot @storyteller-games :)

Don't let the slow moving disco balls fool you, you need to focus every microsecond! Thanks for the Bonus track as well @codeforjoycaro

CodeForJoyCaroauthor21 Apr 2020, 09:22

@abregado You're welcome. The Bonus Track runs in double-speed :)

Once I figured out to click when the disco balls briefly change color and not just when they are over the squares it is quite satisfying. CHECK OUT THEM DANCE MOVES! I lost a couple rounds purely because I was watching the lil' guy boogie! Made me want to dance too & love that it stops to tell you off xD

Feels slow, but it's so hard. I love the dancing animations!

CodeForJoyCaroauthor21 Apr 2020, 10:17

Thanks a lot @jogodfrey :)

CodeForJoyCaroauthor21 Apr 2020, 10:22

@farbeyond-studio Thanks for the feedback. Wasn't sure about the right pace. Now I know better :)

Nocity21 Apr 2020, 11:21

Really nice little rhythm game! It took me a bit to figure out the timing and exact rules but once I did it was a good challenge. The character has a nice style, the realistic dance moves are dope and the music is good. Staying aliiiiiiiiive!

CodeForJoyCaroauthor21 Apr 2020, 11:28

@Nocity :) Glad you came to the end.

wheybags21 Apr 2020, 15:30

Nice game, pity I have no rhythym :p I think I got close to the end, but I'm not sure. The dancing metal guy is a really nice touch.

CodeForJoyCaroauthor21 Apr 2020, 18:13

@wheybags That's okay. At least you tried :)

Cybernetic22 Apr 2020, 17:50

Love this dancing characters. As my colleagues, I replay several times to understand what I suppose to do. Nice mood btw.

Nice and simple rhythm game. Very cool animation of the guy, and music. A nice touch would be to have some visual interpretation of the rhythm, such as pulsating buttons or the like.

CodeForJoyCaroauthor6 May 2020, 15:12

Thanks for playing and for the pulsating buttons suggestion, @woiteee.
