Awesome ! really cool ! just one thing, is it supposed to end on "youre the prince of hell now" or did it get stuck ?

SICK. Love the animations and character art.

Developer

Thank you!! I worked really hard on the animations so I'm glad you appreciated them :-)

Submitted(+1)

That's an amazing game, animations are really neat and the music on point, really fun take on the theme, some improvement could be made (add a list of the dance move the player has done for the turn, target a new enemy if the one targeted is dead) but that's QoL improvement, you have a solid foundation for something, well done

Developer

Thank you for the feedback!! We did have a lot of QoL things lined up but we ran out of time to implement them all :-(. We do have a new version ready for when the voting ends though!

Those are some real sweet dancing animations.  The combat reminds me of Legend of Legaia's.  I found the most basic attack to just be the most effective tbh, though that's probably because it's so quick and easy to spam.

Developer

Thank you for the compliments! I poured my heart into those dances haha. I'd never heard of Legend of Legaia but I just checked it out and you're right, it does look similar! And regarding the spam yeah, we were supposed to have a limit of 3 moves (hence the 3 bars) but ran out of time to implement the limiter.

Thanks for playing!

Such a fun game,I loved the visuals and the MUSIC!

My memory is pretty bad, so I stuggled a little bit, but I guess it-s just a question of practice

Developer

Thank you for playing and for the positive feedback! Yeah we have an updated version ready to go out with much easier controls. I realized after uploading our game that the button sequence is way too long/hard for the length of our game xD

Wow, this game is amazing!  The art and the story are great!

In Firefox it was not loading, but it worked in Chrome (up until level 1). Would love to see the rest!

Frog? xD

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! And thanks for letting us know about firefox not loading. We do have an updated version which should fix everything - we'll be uploading it after voting ends. Hope you'll have a look then!

First off, the artwork is wonderful. That thumbnail alone pulled me right in to play the game. 

Great concept for the game, would love to have seen the rest of the metamorphosis unfold, but unfortunately my game stopped right after turning into a zombie (music still played, but seemingly no key press that I could discover would continue the game).

Developer

Thank you for the compliments! Yeah, unfortunately other people have also been reporting the same freezing at the zombie part. We do have a fixed build ready for when the jam ends though. Thanks for playing!

A very unique and fun game! I was sad my game froze right after the first level, but I love the spin you took on the theme! The art and the music were also fantastic,  great work !

Developer

Thank you so much! 

Not really sure why it freezes after the first level :-(. Will try to see how to trigger it...

Great concept! I could really see myself playing more dancebattle themed games!

Developer(+1)

Thank you!! We also really liked the concept of it even though we wish we could have done more haha. Someday!

Someone had fun doing dance animations

Submitted

I was stuck first time playing, not sure why, but later it worked.

I think it's a very nice game, assets look cool and they're put well together. Maybe the whole battle thing wasn't so satisfying (I know game is literally about it) but something about it was missing and it took me long to get used to it to understand it, I was very confused about the controls too.

I just noticed y'all submitted it 20 seconds before the deadline, lol. Other than that it's a cute game for a game jam and good job to everyone on the team

Game crashes during load:

'Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?

If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)'

Developer

Hi, what browser are you using and on what OS? it works for us but we haven't tried on Linux.

We don't have an executable for the game since it's an HTML export.
