i allready posted here, but because the game can’t be explained clearly, here it is again, with a video.
Basically, you danse with you’r finger on the iphone and a puppet reproduce the moves.

(Sorry for the video quality… our client is making a nice one, but i could not wait)
Animation is layered as :
- Steps (variable speed, back forward played)
- Lips synch
- 6 Upper body danses (synch with tempo)
- Hair anim
- Physical blending for upperbody.
The control is fully based on fingers gestures, and you are free to make whatever you like with :
- Steps : move one finger while the other stand (or slide if you wana walk)
- Switch : switch from one finger to another
- Kick : orient one finger left/right while the other is up
- Bend : orient two finger left/right
- Fente : slide one finger forward, while the other stand
- Slide : slide two finger in same direction
- 360 : slide one finger forward while the other stand
- Moonwalk : slide both fingers in opposite direction (really difficult)
…
Final scoring is based on tempo and diversity, and a db meter give you the feedback from the public, but you mostly get the scoring info from the sound of the public (that could cry you’r name if you are really good).
5 different dansers, with different styles.
And a monthly contest to choose you’r favorite one (one elimination per week).
The gameplay is not immediate, but once you get skilled it’s fun (well…I have).
Avalaible on AppStore.
Plus+ included soon, to share your scores exploits.
