Developer(+1)

Low boi closest to the dance floor! :D

I kinda love how many people like him, especially since you know... the more I look at him the more I think he's kinda me. x3

Cool incremental rhythm gameplay! Music was fun and the presentation, especially the intro was well executed.

Developer

Oh thank you so much! I spent a bunch of time on that intro since I hadn't messed with Timeline in a while! I just wanted to make it just a smidge more dramatic, and it was a good place to remind people about the shaking camera and flashing lights. :3

I love the different bois! Especially good boi. Good boi is best boi.

Developer

Best boi good boi! I only wish I had thought of it sooner, I would have made it so you could pet the doggo. Oh well, next jam! Thankies btw!

As a fan of both rhythm and idle games, I love this idea! Clicking in an idle game is usually pretty boring, but turning it into a beat made it really fun, and it's steady enough that you can keep it going while still browsing the upgrades. I also think it's really cute that instead of amassing a bunch of money, you're just making sure everyone is having a good time dancing. And more games should have a button that adds a dog to the screen. Good job!

Haha, thank you! I love me some clickers and idlers, and I too thought it would be interesting to add some fun rhythm to them! 

The animations are kind of inspired by Homestuck's super short, but expressive pixel art animations. I love that cute repetitive aesthetic! And since this was the for the girly pop jam I thought it would be interesting to make it about the fun and dancing rather than the numbers going up. Although, I'll admit fully that so much of it was more of a happy accident. lol

I also got really lucky on the music. It matches, almost perfectly, my 2-beats a second rhythm. 

Aw, man, I missed an opportunity to let you pet the doggo! xD

I love the music!

Developer

Me too! Reminds me of Jazzersize music! Do you remember Jazzersize? Fun workout music. :3

The dancers are cute and great music selection.

Developer

Thankies! Had a lot of fun making them! :D

The lights were okay, but the camera made me motion sick : (

Developer

Sorry about that! I did put in a slider anticipating it would for some people. It was a feature that needed a lot of tuning before it had any hope of being good. :S

Very unique idea, great job!

Developer

They all dance like I do. Charlie Brown-style. :B

A fun take on the clicker genre! I like that being on beat boosts your score! Great music selection too!

Developer(+1)

Haha, thanks! I came up with that feature somewhat on accident and it ended up as a core feature. lol

This is a neat clicer. 

Developer

Whoa, thanks for capturing your playthrough! That's always fun to see! (if not a little cringy for the dev screaming at the screen, "Aaaah! don't break! don't break! it's not finished! don't look at that! Aaaaah!") :^)
