Nice art and concept! Definitely takes a little time to get the hang of, but you instantly know what you are supposed to do for sure. Dance the night away!

This is such a cool idea! I really love it! The only poblem is... I have no idea how to win hahaha, they keep entering the circle :s
Also the moon doesn't seem to be perfectly round unfortunately.
But this game really has potential it's really awesome! :)
Superb atmosphere! The graphics really nails the feeling of a dark forest, and the music and sound choicewas really fitting. All of it reminded me of the movie Midsommer. I also liked the interperation of the theme - dancing in circles to repel the ghosts
While I appriciated the effort to explain the controls with, again, beautiful icons, it took me some time to understand them. I think what does my head in especially is the turning - I can't wrap my head around it. The timer for finishing the moves ends really quickly, and you lose real fast too - although you can restart quickly so it's not big deal
I wonder if giving simpler moves at first, maybe shorter ones that don't require turning, would be better way to introduce the concept of the game. You can always make the moves longer, more complicated, etc as the night goes on - I mean maybe you did, I suck at this so I didn't progress much :)
Great game, very well done!
This game looks so beautiful and the fact that they're literally dancing the darkness or monsters away is such a romantic idea
This game is fun! The characters are hard to control, but it makes it very satisfying to get the movement right! Great job!
Really cool concept and some very nice art! It does take a moment to understand the controls, so maybe i would have added a tutorial level where you can see what you need to do and how, and the game waits for you to do it (ofc it is a jam so no1 have time for tutorials)
Great game!
A great concept I would say and also hard at the same time but the audio the visuals are great I really enjoyed playing it.
One of the most creative interpretations of the theme I've seen yet! Looks and sounds amazing, and while it may have taken me a while to fully understand the controls, it was very gratifying to get further and further every attempt
