Did your team create most/all of the graphics yourselves?
No I used an existing character model and animations

Did your team create most of/all the audio yourselves?
No I used sounds from freesound.org

How did you incorporate the theme "FREEZE"?
Like the childhood game of 'Musical statues', you have to dance when the music is playing, and 'freeze' when the music stops

The characters dance moves was very funny to watch, the gameplay itself felt very difficult to understand immediately. When the word beat appeared, I pressed one of the a,w,s,d  keys and it would say oops, the meter would decrease fast, then I would fail. I got to a freeze mechanic once, which seemed to work but not sure what it was doing. More player feedback may help with all these issues. Thanks for sharing your game!

The Sound effects are so fun! I lost a lot tho

Loved the way the character was animated!

Creative take on the theme, I really liked the stay still while the music stops!

Personally I had trouble trying to keep up with the beats and every miss took huge chunks off the meter so I was losing constantly, lol.

Loved the way the character was animated! Game was hard to get into but once i got used to the beat, it was fun!

Fun game! Challenging yet once you get into it, becomes easier while keeping itself fun! I like it, good job!

Developer

thanks and thanks for playing!

Super unique idea! I had a really hard time 'feeling' out the beat, though - maybe a pulse on screen would help?

Developer

thanks for playing! Basically when the word ‘Beat’ is visible then you can press the button to dance? Or do you mean a pulse on the 1,2,3,4? Thanks for the feedback! :)

Submitted

Yeah, I mean some kind of visual pulse, like the background gets lighter/darker on the beat, or maybe there is a scrollbar with 'notes' on it like in many rhythm games.

Developer

ok yeah that would be handy indeed, thanks for the feedback!
