How does your game represent "Slick"?
Inspired by the way Gene Wilder struts around in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and the way Gene Kelly dances in the finale of An American in Paris. Two Genes. That's a coincidence. Feels good to dance in a group to choreography, right? Ginger Rogers, Fred Astaire…looking pretty slick out there.

This is really sweet! I had to read the comments before I understood that you didn't need to stand on the things but you just needed to hit the direction the dot is on. I think a big reason why this trips people up is because the first one is timed such that you can perfectly step on the footprints to the beat so it teaches you the wrong thing. Once I understood the idea it was super fun! I wish there were more rooms, I was just getting into it ^^
I think the art is actually incredible. It has a really great style. I think the next room animation is super slick. I think this one is a little gem and I think you could do a lot more of this.
Well done!

BIG PUNCHTough but groovy rhythm game! I think it did not feel intuitive because the window to register an input is too tight, which made me think that I was missing something. I love how the music gets more complex the further you get, and the inputs get more complex too!

Adventurer Supply CoManaged to make it to the end, funnily enough I didn’t quite understand how it worked until the last room, I think. I was trying to hit the feet directions on the beat, but it seems like you need to be holding in the direction when the dot flies over, which is actually more forgiving but wasn’t intuitive to me. Definitely an interesting take on a rhythm game. Love how the music evolves as you progress.
Thanks for playing! You’re right, it’s just tracking whether you’re moving in the given direction at the point when the dot passes over the icon. I tried to signal this with the way the NPCs were moving but it could definitely be more obvious. It would also probably be an improvement if you hit the correct moving direction after the beginning of the step, but before the start of the next one. Things to think about for some eventual return to this idea :)
Super unique game! I don't think I have ever played a rhythm game quite like this before!

Short-PuckThis is great, I also absolutely love the pixel art and walk cycle. Good work :)

SlalomonellaLoved the presentation, big fan of how the music progresses as you complete each section. Good idea to use the other characters at the beginning to teach you what you need to do.

ShuffleBoard DungeonI really liked the presentation of this game as well as the interesting take on the theme. I struggled to understand how exactly to play and progress, specifically at the part where there was 5 footsteps in a circle with one person stepping in and out.
I appreciated the hop-right-in gameplay, but could have used a bit more handholding, at least early on. A cool idea though!
