TIME TO DANCE! by Savvy Community
Hey friend! Wanna dance? Well I guess you came to the right place!
Grab a prop, get comfy and show the world your dance moves! You can even make some human friends in there! Be careful though, this place is supposed to be 'A.I. only' I hope you'll figure out a way to spot them so you can leave them be!
TIME TO DANCE! is a game about moves, and A.I. and humans getting along on the Dancefloor.
You'll need only your mouse to play this.
Your feedback is more than welcome!
See you around ;)

The game really sets a great mood and fits the theme perfectly.
one thing: I thought U was clicking away the message, that said you guessed wrong, but instead I guessed wrong again 🤣 maybe make it so you do not click underneath the message.
I really adore this game and the graphics + music are really top notch 💯
awesome job!
Overall idea is nice and creative.
I hope that game really has network connection, because it felt amazing when I realized what it's about.
All in all great job! Loved the customization.
probably a competitive version can be even funnier!
but quite lovely indeed
@jonah you're absolutely right, we noticed too late that it was going be an issue! Thank you so much for the nice words :blush: (turing test indeed: https://twitter.com/savvy_community/status/1312429816428273666)
@tamail thank you! Making games in a short time has become kind of our specialty! We're planning on producing a "real" game, now that we have some (enough?) xp to do so :)
@vlandemart @hank-ather thank you guys! Every choreography you created is indeed stored in the database and all the players (including you) got a chance to encounter it as a "human" later in the game :) (ATM there are a lot of "fwd", "ffffff" etc... because we devs have sent lots of dancers while testing ^^)
@kyontyan thank you so much! We don't think you're not smart, it may be a bit confusing at the beginning :) but anyway losing a few times is fiiine if it's what it takes to understand the goal ^^
@nohua thank you, we're glad too :)!
@dangerblack thanks! We like the idea of a competition too, for now we just might do a choreography tournament, with open votes on twitter (you're in?? what is your in-game pseudo ;) ?)
@fishmasterino thank you so much! You're right! We had issues in the past with synchronizing multiple audio looping tracks, and we REALLY wanted an incrementally powerful music from round to round :)
thank you all again for the kind words :pray:
vv
This is a very unique take on the theme, I like it a lot. The graphics are cute and the music is catchy. The fact that users can interact is a very cool touch! How did you do that? Do you have a database somewhere?
I had a good time playing it!
@wouter52 thanks a lot! We're glad you finally got to play it ^^ ! We use a database-like system thanks to Google Apps Script, that's a system we used for a few previous jams, but in a less funky way than this :)
@n8dev thank you so much!! We're so glad you enjoyed it that much :). Ragdolls are a Yes! See you in there!

Got to say, this is an interesting take in "spot the difference" games, and a hilarious one to boot. The dancing animations are just undiluted joy to watch, and I really liked making my own too. I can't give this game enough praise, although I do think I found a lot of duplicates in my playthroughs. Still, had a blast with those animations and tunes!
Best wishes, and keep on jammin'! 🐳
The music was pretty jammin and really sets the mood. Congrats!
Music and graphics are both an absolute delight.
Concept is really cool too, and it's so well put together, congrats!
* The concept and introduction are nice and funny.
* The interpreation of the theme is nice. I like this simple but efficient "puzzle" game.
* The artworks and animations are very good.
* The music fits perfectly the ambiance.
All in all, it gives a feeling of a well finished, complete and polished game.
I take fun to play. Congratulations ! :)
The idea behind the core mechanic is fantastic, and so well executed. It is really funny, and not as easy as it could seem at first.
The music and sounds are fantastic too.
I really dislike this graphic style (personal tastes) and yet I really enjoyed the game, one of my favorite for this jam.
Great job, and thanks for the game 💕
Hope someone sees my dances.
P.S., The *Free* and *Party* buttons are disabled on my screen.
@moski thank you very much! Oh you appear to have found Mika... Well, it's complicated... Mika's not really the name of a player, nor are they an A.I. per se... Something in between the two.. Some of us were really surprised to encounter them while testing the game... They're something rather unique! :smile:
@fragileannihilator thank you so much :pray: during the past 18 months we made jam games in limited time to improve our game-making skills, methodology, and try fun concepts and innovative game mechanics. As an experience jammer yourself, you must agree that there's no savvier way to gain some precious XP! The plan is now to try and make "real" games in a limited but longer time!
@madnesssguschenka Thank you so much! We always spend a third of the total time just talking about the concept and what we want to do *this time* ^^. We always take good care to make games that feel good!
@doot many thanks! Stuck in a Soup Loop is on our list of games to play :)!
@itsdanidre someone will for sure! What's your in-game pseudo? The 2 buttons are enabled once you finish the introduction! Thank you :)
@all we really like the vibe in your messages, and we'd like to stay in touch with you guys FOREVER. Since we plan on making bigger games in a near future, we will definitely need your savvy feedback... So please consider following us on twitter (https://twitter.com/savvy_community) or itch.io(https://savvy-community.itch.io/). :pray: much love :heart_eyes_cat:
Cheers!
Once I finish the introduction? Is there an end? Every time I finish it seemingly, it carried me back to the option of choosing my own dance moves, and then I had to choose between AI and human again, then another set of dance moves, then choose between AI and human again over and over. I thought that was the loop, as I kept making new moves, I thought that was it :sweat_smile:
I wonder if that was maybe a bug, I'll definitely have to play over the game some time.
Only downside I could think of is:
- There was no unique interpretation of the theme, instead you took the theme literally.
- The white font had no good contrast with the light blue background which made it hard to read the instructions. But that was a minor issue in my opinion.
Nice entry!
I really loved the ambiance, and the way the music evolved as you found more and more of your human friends. I look forward to seeing more from you guys!
The gameplay is nice and all, but I had way more fun to come up with my own dance!
Artstyle is cute yet cheeky (literally), which I like too!
Amazing animations, music and mood general!
I think my only request would be that IMHO the dance floor should include the player-character as well (unclickable), so that you can have an animated visual of the choreographed dance moves that you just came up with. Right now (if I understand correctly) you never actually get to see your own dance in action -- it's just sent to the server so that it can be shown to other people. Which is cool, but I think there would be more of an incentive and "reward" for people to put in effort if they are able to view it themselves. On the later levels I found myself just leaving the dance at random because I knew it wouldn't really affect my own experience, but I feel like with this change I would be motivated to put in my own custom dance moves since getting to see them in action would be really fun :)
@f1krazy Wow, thanks a lot, it's always nice to hear such positive feedback! Yeah we also think the 4 rounds of character creation are maybe a bit too much, resulting with seeing the same name over and over again ahah. However, we won't change this kind of thing/bug since the feedback we get will be helpful for a future game we will do :). Thank you again, and since you're interested in seeing our future projects, feel free to follow us on twitter ➡️ https://twitter.com/savvy_community . Cheers!
@omar-14 @harksa Thank you so much for your kind words :D
@trexxak Thank you :D maybe we will work on a mini standalone about this aspect (if we have some time ahah)
@killerkun @arbex That's so nice to hear, thank you so much!
@meatball Yeah right, we've all been there at some point ahah 😏
@jenny-bourke @dcrdro @dani-tufeld @sli @drjexter Thank you so much guyz!!
@ddrkirbyisq Oh thank you so much for your useful and precious feedback! That's actually a really good idea, as you say, it may be a bit frustrating to create your character 4 times and not see it right after its creation. You can actually see it but later in the game since its randomly generated. Thank you again :D
@garys @snowinn @enad96 Oh yeah, thank you so so much :D
**The whole team is really pleased to read such positive comments, thanks guyz and gurlz!** ❤️
Cheers from **savvy community**
@pluisjen @keibii @flying-dog-fish @karenfarah @codertrevor Thank you so much to all of you!!
