Cool dance game with an added twist that is very on point for the theme!

Okay... the first song I was like "I am God" and the second song I was more like "Am I stupid ?". Good job. Funny rythm game ! Maybe the "perfect" hit is a tiny bit offbeat ? And some points (the things that fall on us) are impossible to catch.

good work! I like the difficulty of the second song, and the difficulty ramp from zero to nothing haha. core mechanic is enjoyable

Really good job on mixing rhythm mechanics and a dodging game. The music really kept me going and the lil crowd animation really helped bring the game together visually.

Cool little game guys !
I had a hard time doing everything at the same time but like the concept :smile:

I like the mix between "Keep it alive" and "Staying alive". Smart choice !!
Cool jam entry overall

This would be a great standalone game with more songs.

I liked how you had a easy song and a hard song, but adding more difficulties for the same songs would be nice.
This was really enjoyable experience that i already played for half an hour. Keep it up!

This is a cool game. Had fun playing it. The controls are easy and the song choice is perfect.

Awesome!!! My brain went a similar place with the interpretation of the theme - but I ended up with a very different game.

Having to keep an eye on both the rhythm and the flying bottles was a really cool challenge.

Nice work! Using Staying Alive was a great choice. I really like the idea of combining the DDR elements with obstacles. I wish there was a little more to it though. Maybe you could collect power ups, or deflect bottles. The first song was pretty easy and striaghtforward. The second song was doable for me, but the sync got off and was about half a beat behind by the end of the game. It would also be nice to include some sort of visual element that indicates beats like most rhythm games. The art could probbaly use some polish and a bit more variety, but overall, nice job!

Very clever take on the theme (the first song choice was really fitting)!! Had lots of fun playing the game. The speed the people are moving at is kind of distracting. Two confusing aspects at first: 1) I didn't understand the point of the mosh pit/bottle throwing since it started right off the bat 2) Didn't understand that the character was on a stage (could use wood texture instead of bricks perhaps?). Overall really nice game!

great combine genres idea! )

Haha fun idea! One minor thing is that if there were two notes in rapid succession, the "Good"s could overlap and it was hard to tell what you got on the second note.
