Dance Dance Revolution: Atart 2600 edition by JoeCool17

[raw]
made by JoeCool17 for LD27 (COMPO)
Ever wanted to play Dance Dance revolution, but felt there wasn't enough seizure in it? Ever wanted to be in control of everything yourself? Well, now you can! From Homebrew Laboratories, comes:

DDR: Atari 2600 Edition!

Unlike normal DDR, where the game paces you, due to budget cuts and platform constraints (hey, there's no framebuffer on the 2600. You expect magic? Gumdrops? FAIRIES? No, this is REAL gaming, son.), YOU are in control of the pace! That's right! You have 10 seconds to get as many points as you can. During that time, the screen will turn one of 4 colors: Red, Green, Blue, or Yellow. Press the corresponding arrow key (as denoted in the lower right corner), and get a point! If you get it wrong, you'll lose a point! In either case, the screen will then flash with a different color. This continues until 10 seconds are up, at which time you'll get roughly 1 second for a breather until it begins again.

To download from GDrive: Ctrl-S or "File"->"Download"

Open the file named "DDR Atari 2600 edition.exe" to play!

Would have been easier by showing big arrow on screen, and it's really hard to know how good you are doing, my best score was 13 :(

As someone who is colourblind, this was pretty difficult to play, but it was a pretty fun minigame ;)

Dunno what was up with Google, worked fine now.

Not really innovative, but nice little ditty!

Great soundtrack, and that's the most important part of DDR, right?
