How does your game fit the theme?
This is a rhythm dancing game, where you have to dance according to the beat against an opposing team of dancers. However something strange happens on the final beat, something best avoided...

I love the concept, really interesting, and the writing is quite good, it draws you in from the start. The implementation though needs some work, when the songs glitches and desyncs from the rythym you need to have, the whole thing breaks apart. But it has a lot of potential if the difficulty is tweaked and bugs fixed. Nice job

Yeah the music bug is definitely an issue, restarting the browser helps but doesn't prevent it. Glad you enjoyed the writing!

Interesting game. I like the concept and the artwork. Could maybe do with easing the difficulty ramp a little bit though, or maybe I'm just rubbish : )

Developer

Haha yes will continue to balance it a bit more to ease the transition!

Love the animations and theme! Sometimes the music seemed to glitch, which made it quite difficult to match the rhythms with. Additionally, I'm not sure if it's the game or I'm misunderstanding, but I am able to get a higher score than the enemies on rite IV but it still won't let me on to the next one. That being said, the core mechanic here is clever and I'm sure it could be built on very easily, adding special tiles or boss fights or anything. It was also smart to flavour it as a dance, really fits the mechanics well! Great entry :)
