Honestly addictive — kept playing way longer than planned. Loved the whole atmosphere and concept too. Great work!

- Funny idea and with potential. At first, it’s a bit tricky to figure out exactly what you need to do to get the dance right. It could help to make the move you have to copy more clear and visual so it’s easier to follow. Also, adding more dance steps and slowly making things more challenging would probably make it even more addictive. Nice work!

Haha :D, thanks for the nice words. I am always amazed when people like my graphics. This is basically the only style (hand drawn kids drawing style :D) I can do. It is not really an aesthetic choice :), but it usually fits to my silly games.
You can try these moves next time you are on a a dance floor in a real disco. For sure you will get a lot of attention ;).
love the music. fun to play too. Great entry. Enjoyed being kicked off the dance floor!

Crate ExpectationsFun animations, and an interesting interpretation of the theme, (I thought of disco machine.) It’s impressive that you’ve been able to create 5 songs (+ the intro,) and the game is nicely wrapped together and playable on mobile. It was fun to see the main character being kicked out of the disco.
I think the game could be more difficult for each stage. Maybe introduce additional dance moves for each level, or have the “moves” come up on the screen beforehand, and you having to match the correct move before the next beat.
Overall a cute entry, good job.

Mean MachinesThank you very much for playing and the feedback. Agree, I struggled with the difficulty quite a bit this time and did not manage to bring in a good difficulty progression. I really think I should start with a super easy level and then slowly add more elements. This way I could also later bring in some more difficult but funnier patterns. I had cool ideas for patterns, but my playtesters struggled already with the game having rather simple patterns. So I just made it rather too simple and not in a nice progression. I ran a bit out of time to balance the difficulty properly and have a nice progression in the game.
Yo, this game is really cool! I really liked the animations and music! It worked really well when the dance moves switched with the music because you could predict it better. The last level with the lights was pretty tricky. I recommend expanding this by adding randomly timed events and making it more of a rhythm game. As it is it is really fun and one of my favorite games from the jam so far! Great work!

Machine PlanetThank you very much for playing and your suggestions. Agree that something is missing... I really could explore the rhythm aspect a bit more. The randomly timed events I just had to cut due to keep the scope under control and I had a bit a hard time to find the right difficulty. I was afraid that random events might have made the game more difficult and hard to figure out.
I liked the music, this is really a fun little game, more player feedback and patterns would make this interesting for real

ISV: Lazarusvery cute idea! took me a few attempts to figure out what to do and how often to press the buttons, which isn't a hard thing to fix. the music is done very well and getting it right for the first time def made me smile

Terrestrial EngineersA truly authentic rhythm and music game. I love it; it has solid gameplay mechanics. Everything feels very well integrated. I assure you it gets a 5/5 rating.

Scrapbeat DashOne of the best games!
I played to the end just to hear every song (even though I got caught a lot at first lol). I love games where failure isn’t frustrating, and this was so addictive it kept me laughing.
Is the BPM the same for all the tracks? The sync between the dance animations and the consistent sound selection really enhanced the immersion. It was so much fun! (ツ)ノ

CRAB MUSICwhat a cool excellent game! Your music is very catchy and I really liked the art, simple yet expressive which is perfect for a game jam!

Arteus Victus: Prologue X AriaI am one of them!
Very cool and fun game! I like games that make you laugh :).
Nice graphics and music. Great gameplay, trained my memory and attention a bit. I especially liked it when they revealed that I'm not a robot :D.
Maybe a cooperative or multiplayer mode, where there are several people and they check if you're robots and you all dance, whoever doesn't follow the dance pattern is thrown out, and whoever stays at the end wins :).
It was really fun, congratulations!
