The Paper Dance by TravisChen
The curtains rise. A single spotlight comes into focus.
The lone dancer stands silent. Waiting.
Strings cry. Flutes flutter. Trumpets roar.
Her movement inspires.
A six minute interactive movement.

P.S. I still remember sitting for a few hours playing The Trader ^^
I also can't tell when the gam ended - did I hit something, or was it timed? Need more feedback on that.
Also the scoring, too.
Is the jumping good for anything besides looking pretty? If it is I couldn't tell.
Mechanically requires a bit more :) But so gorgeous!
We're making some gameplay / mechanic tweaks and should have the build updated before the deadline!
Congratulations to the soon to be newlyweds!
Congratulations. :)
the music is made by you o_O ?
Experience games aren't really my cup of tea, but for what it was, I enjoyed it :)
The music fits really well.
Very unique. Well done!
Something that might be neat is the black dancers spawn out of the shadows of the other dancers.
Actually the idea is great but the game side with point is not perfectly integrated at a certain point we are not sure of who we are, and even why the points are groing.
The fight between the black and white dancers is a great idea, but i think that if the game was stayed in a paper cut style (no rotation) it would have been a better game.
But still one of the best mood that i have seen for now.

Thank you for the game!
It truly looks like a labour of love - in more ways then one .) /sorry, I'm a sucker for romance in game development/
Great job and happy weeding day :-)
I can tell this is going to be a great marriage. Congratulations!
I can't believe nobody asked yet, and I hope it's not because everyone knows: what's the music?
This game was such a great experience, as the player, I was literally making the performance while still trying to score as much as possible.
Lastly, the game didn't even lag with all the characters and collectible and particles showing up at once... pretty impressive.
5 stars :)
Also, just to let you know, I always score entries very strictly and fairly and this is the first-ever LD game I've rated 5 stars for every category available. :) <3
That aside, really impressive work.
Some more mecanics would be cool, six minutes is long...
You need to set more time to cooldown for jump. I jumped like a mad and made bloody massacre at the end :o)
