great game very simplistic and the music was great amazing execution on the theme
Love how you intoduce the mechanics through trial and error instead of a tutorial. Using the poses to display numbers is genius. Love the music.
Thats a very creative mechanic! The presentation is also super well done and charming
This was so fun and cute! I'm amazed! It was so satisfying to thread the arrow through the dancers, although sometimes it seemed like it was too easy to accidentally make it disappear. I loved trying to figure out the rules of each new dancer, and the very minimal information you provide actually works in the game's favor because it makes you feel like you're discovering it for yourself. Good job!
BEST GAME SO FAR Number 1 contender according to me!
Creative take on the spin to win! I liked trying to figure out what the different poses meant / what colors could spin with others.
Not sure if it is just me, but some of the colors were difficult to differentiate between one another
This was a really creative interpretation of the theme :) As people mentioned the fun part really was figuring out who did what on stage and then trying to remember it all.
This almost felt like some re-interpretation of some of the puzzles from The Witness :)
The puzzles were very interesting. The player is left to fend for themselves to figure out the rules, but thats the fun of it. Figuring out how all these different dancers need to interact with each other to put on a show was very fun
This was a fantastic puzzle game. I love how you let the player discover the rules on their own, it reminds me of the Mora Jai boxes in Blue Prince and made it really satisfying to solve each new mechanic. I appreciate how nothing was designed arbitrarily; the arms formed numbers, the hairstyles made it colorblind-friendly, the placement and number-value of each ballerina was very intentional. And the freedom to make any shape increased the agency I felt when solving puzzles.
I think more dynamic elements could make the game feel alive, like ballerinas that move to new positions after being circled. Overall quite a fun challenge, love to see another ballet-inspired game!
I really love the music you've made for this game. It fits the theme so well. The gameplay and visuals are nice too, maybe a Tutorial would help understand the game better though. Still a great Job!
It seems simple, but it definitely had its challenges!
The learning curve was nice, and it felt good to figure out what to do as new dancer types appeared.
Nice job!
great game! i think it would be helpful to have some simple illustrations explaining how each dancer behaves.
I disagree – I think figuring it out yourself was the fun part!
I loved the challenge it provided, very chill little game!
very creative and charming game!
Very nice and original concept! Would've loved the game to be a bit more colourblind friendly as I struggled identifying the different coloured ones.
Oof yeah sorry about that. I hope it wasn't too bad!
Fun puzzle game with a nice learning curve! Some in game instructions would have helped a bit but the charm of this game makes up for that tenfold, lovely stuff!
Okay I wasn't expecting the originality to be of this caliber by the barebones page, but dang - this was super stimulating and fun. Great game.
Fun puzzler! I wish there was an in game description, but the levels introducing the dancers were very helpful.
very intresting gimmicks.
i personally still dont understand how the black dancers work though . . .
its was still fun.
I think the black ones are the same as the white ones, but the black and white ones don't want to be together (is that correct??)
i mean i though that at first, but there are still cases where the black and white are spun together
It’s fantastic; I love how various gimmicks are introduced along the way, making it far from straightforward. It’s a puzzle game that really makes you think—I really enjoyed it!
