This got a good belly laugh outta me, I loved the overall concept. Music and animation were so good. I always struggle with fast controls in games, so it took me a while to get through each level slipping and sliding around, but I still had a lot of fun. Great work!

Great game, and nice take on the concept.  I really appreciate how the idea of 4 being too heavy to jump high was introduced.  I had to figure out that 4 was also heavy enough to break the platform.

Very clever, and very well done!

Fun idea! I like the level design a lot~ I did a kinda similar mechanic too :D

Super cute! Love the character, and good job on the animation! The only thing I didn't like was using my left hand for interactions as well as wasd... but very cute!!

This game was really fun to play. I liked that you add consequences to bigger groups. Maybe you could simplify the controls a bit. I mean it wasn't that confusing, but maybe there is a better way. I enjoyed playing the game very much. Good game :D

That's a really neat entry, I really enjoyed your concept ! The puzzles had a nice difficulty curve, the art was flawless and I loved how you each mechanic added new ways to think about the whole game !

My only complain are the controls : I feel like the dancers add a too high max speed and are way too slippery, it made the gameplay feel a bit odd sometimes.

Apart from that, I am astonished what you succeeded to do in only 48h ! A big GG to you !

Found this quite an interesting concept, was fun and challenging getting all the different groups of dancers to work together to solve each puzzle, animations really worked well for the idea and the music really srove teh chaotic feel of the levels.

very charming game! I love the main mechanic. I'd love if you tried out my game too :D

A very charming game. Lots of fun little puzzles. Love the animation of the dancers! Well done.

It was difficult to be precise with the platforming due to how much momentum the dancers had, but overall a brilliant concept and the music really makes it feel chaotic and fun

This game is fun, I enjoyed playing through the whole thing, and the dancing theme is funny. Love it, 5/5.

I was really surprised by how many different dancer grouping rules you could create and make intresting puzzles around them

top score !

Wow, this is such a great little game. Nearly perfect. I love the little can-can dance animation, haha. The way that each group of dancers has different physics, and how all the game mechanics work together so well -- it's so good! Reminds me of Lemmings in a way.

Only two little suggestions for improvement -- and they're really only minor quality-of-life fixes.

1. It would be nice if the Arrow that shows which dancers you have selected would move organically/slowly when you switch -- this way my eyes can follow it on the screen and it's easier to know which dancers I'm controlling. As it is right now, the arrow just snaps immediately to the next dancers, and sometimes I spend about 2 seconds shifting my eyes across the screen to find the arrow.

2. It would be nice if there was a small transition animation when you get all the dancers into the curtain. Maybe have them all bow, then file into the curtains one-by-one (kinda like how the Lemmings exit the stage in that game). Right now, the the level transition is immediate, which also caused me a bit of issue because if I was holding LEFT while entering the curtain, it would immediately jump to the next level and my new dancer would start moving left before I even had a chance to look at the level layout! Not a huge issue, since I can just hit R to reset the stage, but it's a bit jarring.

Oh, and one more suggestion... more levels! I would love to just see more of this game in general. It's really fun. :)

Amazing work! 5 stars all around.

Really fun game ! I love the little pixel dancing animations lol

Also the levels are very smart, many mechanics that all blend together well ! and the music makes it really funny
