Dance Beats Violence

— — — 🕺How to play? 🕺— — —

This is a dance battle!

Connect a JoyCon if you have one around and get dancing with A, B, X and Y. If you don't have one, you can use Z, Q, S and D on your keyboard. You're player 1, on the left side of the screen and you should read the top timeline.

Basically, hit a button when a beat arrives in the middle of the screen. Hitting a beat act as attack AND block at the same time. If you miss the beat, you don't block nor do you attack, so if your opponent attacks, you'll loose a health point (the red bar). Also if you hit it, you'll earn points and fill the yellow score bar; fill it up entirely to get a new health point!

Don't hit the same button twice ! Unless you're a cheater, in which case you'll loose 1 health point :)

Now, if you feel a bit more challenge-y, you'll notice that every beat has a color and a gradient. The color represents the type of beat it is : red is normal, yellow doubles your score, purple doubles your move (so you attack or block twice instead of one), and finally green, the rarest one, yields a brand new health point! The gradients show you where to beat the beat to get the most point : the whiter the more points you'll get!

The setting is an anachronic post-modern medieval monarchy where all kinds of creature live, listen to techno beats and, most importantly, resolves minor incidents and conflicts by dancing instead of beating each other up.
