Angus has a dream to be a rock star!
His choreography and vocals are *impeckable*, but sometimes Angus can’t stick to the script!
Fit Angus’ unplanned moves into the routine before they steal the show!

(New moves appear every 10 seconds!)

Controls:
- Mouse to move through the UI
- Arrow keys for dance moves
- Any move can be used in "_" spots

Options:
- If the beat isn't synced with the notes, hit ESC during a song to bring up volume and beat timing controls where you can manually adjust the timings. For most players this is unnecessary but may help some.

Best played in full screen.

This feels so ambitious for the jam, and to come out with something so playable and satisfying is super impressive. The songs were really well judged for the format and I liked that each level was tied in to a location. It was really tricky to look up to the top and see the moves I needed to fit in, but that didn't detract from the enjoyment. Lovely art work as per. Overall - superb.

Catched a bug. On second try just this and no music at all.

Really love this game. Animations are very smooth and music is dope!

Also I turned your stream while I was creating my game, so thank you for that and thank you for your Youtube videos.

Great entry, nicely polished, with 5/5 music and graphics. Very enjoyable gameplay overall.

- I also found the unplanned moves mechanic a bit confusing at first

- It felt like my eyes were running across the screen vertically quite a bit, trying to see the upcoming notes, the unplanned moves, and also to admire the big bird - I found watching the big bird slide across the stage and bust its moves the most exciting, so for myself at least, I think I would've enjoyed an UI that allowed for that more.

This is insanity!!! You managed to squeeze down the amount of work I could do in 3 days into 2!!! I love how everything fits together to make a wonderfully crafted experience; the art, the music, the flipping *character!* It all works for the greater good of the unfortunately short game... (so it's safe to say, I loved it :smile:)

Actually quite fun, catched a bug where if you spam up and right arrows, the character eventually moves out of screen lol.

Your game was awesome, I love the music and art, concept is known but well executed. I had your stream going during most of the jam, you really helped keep me motivated :) Thanks for sharing and thank you for your input on my entry.

The game feel is "amaSing" Real slick game, wish there were more songs.

Love the croud effect nicely done

I love rock music!

LDJam user 2356946 Oct 2022, 18:46

Wow this is very cool. The music is just awesome.

Tuuuuune

Really awesome work. Love the Australian representation.

I didn't realise until the third track that I'm meant to weave the moves from the top of the page into the freeform bits. I couldn't take my eyes off the bottom half of the screen to see what they were though. I wish that they were in a place that was easier to glance at
