Took me a bit to figure out that the poses required me to have the belt (I try to just play the game first and read directions only when needed :)). Once I figured that out, the gameplay was pretty good. Really liked how is ramped up in difficulty.

hahaha. Cute game. It's programmer art, but definitely has some charm to it.

A little confusing at first, but pretty fun! Wish you could pickup and drop the belt anywhere instead of having it warp back to starting position. Also feels like difficulty ramps up too steep when red belt poses come into play.

A bit hard to understand at firt, but it actually cool. I lake the way it becomes harder with time. +1 for that arcade touch ;-)
And, well, it's good programmer art :p

It was a bit hard to understand, I had to retry a few times. It's a funny little game. Totally programmer art though.

Cute game, but gameplay is really monotonus. And it will be better with audio and more creativ.

Good idea, with a neat mechanic. Would benefit greatly from sound effects/music though.

Haha, enjoyed this. Very funny. The art may be a bit basic, but it's charming. A bit challenging at first, but it starts to make more sense after a couple playthroughs.

Fun! Took me a few plays to figure out that I had to walk up to the platform to pose, but once I did I got 78. Thanks for the fun game!
