The graphics are charming and while the gameplay is a bit too traditional for my taste you can feel a lot of polish went into this. Overall a very solid entry!

Love this concept so much! Great art and humor

This game is so much fun! Oolag is really charming and cute, love those moves. :)

Great Simon-type game! I loved the animations, and the voice effects were a nice touch.

Very beautiful game
A very classic mechanic was well adjusted to the theme.
So far I am in 3rd position.
Good job

I loved the art, and the ideas really funny XD

hahaha Really funny game :D :D great jop

Wow, props to whoever did the music. Absolutely love that jazzy tune. :)

Thanks for your comment on my game that you couldn't find the itch @comari. I appreciate it. Would love it if you took a look at it again. :)

Very good art style, quite fun to get into!

Fantastic visuals, the animation could have used some more love. The gameplay fitted the visuals and the theme very well.

10/10 pun and fits the lighthearted nature of the game. Great mood and just a fun idea to combine two things as different as vikings and rhythm games. The use of the viking shield and runes is clever and the overall UI layout is nicely designed. The only thing that seems to be missing from the UI would be some sort of indicator how much time is remaining on the current sequence.

This game is soo pretty and the name is really good. I loved to dance!

Steamdr4gon over 500k! WOW! https://infamy.dev/highscore/web?id=bjorn-to-dance - Thanks for playing everyone!

Very funny, I love the art and the music!

I loved the take on a traditional dancing game. Very enjoyable and fun!

Fun game ! Great art style!

Solid gameplay with nice visuals

Can't go wrong with viking puns. Nice art style!

Art is perfect. Also, the general UI was well laid out and a strong aesthetic. It was clear pretty quick what had to happen. Love the scene transitions, and just how well the animation looked. Clever twist on Simon Says!

I love the art, super polished!

Awesome art, loved Bjorn. Could have used some more music and more exciting sound effects for hitting the notes.

A big problem with the game I think is that its way too easy. I think it would be more fun if you ramped up the difficulty curve and didn't start with just one note.

This game is really goofy and I LOVE IT! A viking dancing, a pun in the title, and fun memory based gameplay? Sign me up! You could even take this further and make like a dance dance revolution version. The art was some of the best that I’ve seen, very polished and nice.

Graphics are really good, and the character is pretty fun.

The pillage people ^^.

Love the idea and the funny name! The gameplay can get pretty repetitive and becomes a little boring after a while but the humour and difficulty increase kept me playing for a while. Loved the art style and the simple controls awesome work!

Very nice looking game with a solid simon says mechanic, nice audio too, good work!

Nice artwork. Was both fun and funny.

Very cool twist on a Simon-Says-Type game! Great sense of humour and brilliant animations. Well done! :)

I'm normally pretty bad at Simon Says but Oolag has moved me to be a little better. Really a solid game. Your art is absolutely spectacular. Also big love to the sound design and the fact that I didn't actually have to be looking at the screen to tell what key to press which is always good for the easily distracted like me.

Now that's a fiiiiiiiiiiiine lookin' game ya got there. :wink:

I really love the personality of this one. The concept is absurd, and I just love the name Pillage People Dance Troop. :smile:

I do wish that the music played more of a role in the gameplay, but that might just be my personal preference towards rhythm games, haha.

Despite the simple gameplay, I can tell that this was polished to a T. It feels super smooth and seamless, very nice job!

Hahah I love the pun! It was easy to pick this up and get the hang of it with little instruction- that's good. I found myself wishing there was a bit more music to go along with it- but I understand that this is a game jam! Heh. Nicely done.

Polished and funny, nice.

Love that graphic style, music is great too. I would want to see full version

Very sticky. This is what I've played the longest.

I liked the graphics and humour. A bit too easy and slow. Thanks

Alright, I will say it now before anyone else: You will definitely be in the top 25!

So far the best game I've played this LD. Funny, great execution, amazing sounds and music, and most importantly catchy gameplay.

I would maybe change one thing though. The shield idea is really, cool but its placement unfortunately takes aways the attention from dancing Bjorn, which is shame, because I loved looking at him. So I would maybe put the shield/runes somewhere either around the character or right underneath him so we can both watch the runes and the guy :)

But overall, amazing and pleasant experience. Thank you for this.

Great game, nice interpretation of a classic gameplay, with more fun !

Feels polished enough in the timing of the game jam

Only complaint : I had to install english to play in wasd because my keys are in another order, the directionnal arrows would please me better

This is not a real complaint as you can see XD keep up the good work !

This game is hilarious - such a nice art, too! It was fun to play!

Wow!!! It’s really fun! I like ur hero and his voice. By the way u have so pretty art-style!😍

Beautiful art style and a lot of character in Bjorn and the cude little dog in the background that is so happy for Bjorn.
Great entry, had a lot of fun!

Auto five in Fun on that one ..... this takes a very secure viking to do! :rofl:

Really well polished - very nice tutorial.

:purple_heart: :dart: :frog:

Very fun and funny concept. Nice work! I think you could afford to speed up the dance moves a little, make it feel like you're really dancing to a beat. Great game!

It's fun, i like it a lot!

Really nice and fun game to play

Great Concept, A really good way of using artistic and story-telling ability to turn something like the game simon into a funny, wholesome, and engaging story!!

I love everything about this game except for the gameplay itself as I think it's too slow paced (but that's probably just me).

Really good art, congratulations!

Very good graphics!

Loved the graphics, the humor is great. You got your gameloop (*pun intended*) on point! I would love to hear more different songs to dance on. But overal, very well done!

i don't feel stuck in a loop although the graphics and idea are great, good job guys

WOW! I loved the art and the core, I would love to play it in VR or with Wee, to move as well. And would be nice to have more combinations and more difficult levels. But still amazing!

Very beautiful and nicely polished
Great work!

Loved the art and music! Funny and hilarious game. Nice work!!

A nice one, i like the viking dancing simon game. I think you can improve the game by rethinking the UI, it is rather scattered and it is difficult to enjoy of the animations at the same time. Maybe add an indication to know the player's turn. In any case, nice work.

Great graphics, and there's really a lot of polish overall. Nice game!

Very fun and good game ! but we can spam keyboard s oit break the flow

Really nice and polish!

Cool viking. I do not like these games, but for the drawing like!

Graphic is really nice and the game is polished. At first I was not sure what to do (i just started the game without reading anything), but it was a pleasant experience.

Thnks for sharing.

I love this dancing viking, great job and nice graphics !

Really good mood haha I love the "leadboarders" idea

Fantastic art! I really like runes and the way they were highlighted, Sounds are perfect! Good idea for the game :)

Great art and animations. I was a bit distracted by gameplay to enjoy it fully, but kudos there.

At first I was confused about what to do. I expected rhythm game and kept pressing buttons in tune.

Great work!

So much fun this game put a huge smile on my face. I was gonna say it was too simple for my taste but honestly the simplicity is what made it so enjoyable.

Best presentation of a Simon Game i have seen so far, but a bit too simple for me. Love the creativity behind it.

Good animations and a lot of humor. I like it!

Great graphics and animations! But I really missed some louder music to dance to!

Really well made game with great humour injected it!

Awesome graphics! The game fits the theme 100%. Good job!

Im in love with the art and the humor of this game! Good Job!

It is increbible, I laughed so hard simply seeing the thumbnail ! The concept is an old-timer and the lack of music is flagrant though

nice game, having perfect pitch makes it easy tho hahaha ;)

Nice little game, reminds me of Simon Says. Always like that game :)

I like the game! Nice story, great graphics and very funny!

Wow, this is a one very well rounded and polished game! Also love that you even have a leaderboard - makes me want to come back with a more competitive attitude :D

If there's anything to nitpick about it's that it would be a nice little addition to have the board light up when the pattern is presented to you, just to make sure the player doesn't mess up the timing.

All in all fantastic entry. Thank you for making Oolag Bjørn's dream a reality :3

Great game with a great art style. Could be a little more creative gameplay.

Not much to add to everyone else's comments, but it looks great!

I loved the graphics and the audio. It's very creative. The gameplay is quite simple but the overall experience is good. I spent a nice moment playing this game.

Cool game, really nice art. Interesting you make a joke about how in dance, being stuck in a loop is a bad thing, but in the game it is a good thing. This does not seem to hold true in the gameplay since it is a standard memorization game, and the 'practice' you do is just a different level than the competition. Would have liked to see the gameplay design reflect your idea on the loop being a good thing. Maybe the competition could have been the same patterns but without prompts, or something else besides a level with different art.
I liked this game for what the gameplay offered, but would have liked to see more time spent on gameplay design rather than art and writing, since the gameplay is what everything must support imo.

Fun game! Feels very complete and well done

Great memory game :D love the dancing Viking!Great job on all aspects of the game!

Awesome polished game! I love the viking's little poses! I wish there was a little more gameplay variation, but all in all, awesome entry!

He be vibing. Great work! I've had fun :)

Great fun. The fun is that it is not hard. Great game. But for some reason I did not see the character instead it wall a blue box, Maybe it is on my side.

Ridiculously Entertaining Game. Really well Done Job.

Great art and good humor

Great idea of using "Simon say's" core! That core perfectly to the theme of the jam. But because of that player mostly look on runes, but I all time wanted to look on character, that may be fixed by reposition of the rune cyrcle. Sound very calming, dream-like I'll say. Great job!)

That's a fun and polished game, good job to the team !!
A bit too simple on the gameplay part, but it works so good job :)

Good Simon Says implementation. I really like the art and the dance. I couldn't get the connection with the theme

Great graphics and animations! The addition of the leaderboard is a nice touch.

What a cool way of turning Simon Says into a fun dance loop! The graphics and animations are adorable, and overall it was a great time! Nice touch with the leaderboard, I did not expect that, but that's such an awesome inclusion! I'll try my best to get to the top!

I got pretty high on the leaderboards, but man, it was a big blow to my scoring to drop from 10x multiplier to 1x! :laughing: Looked super cool and the name is just too funny! I think it would have been more fun if you should have pressed the buttons according to a beat, not just as fast as you can.

So much! This idea would never have occurred to me! The art is very good and it is very funny! Great job

Really, really good game! I like how you took Simon and added some more mechanics to it that make it less punishing and more fun. The high score list is what really sells it. Art and audio are both great, as are humor and mood. Good job!

Great looking game and super nice animations + sfx and music. I stink at these types of games but that is not your fault.

Glad to see I still hold the high score! Really nice design with how well you do in your sleep affects your performance the next day. Also I love the graphics!

Very entertaining! Great work :) Great name too lol

Very simple concept that does it really well. The art style and overall mood of the game is very polished and feels like a complete and cohesive experience. There is a lot of potential and with more complexity to the mechanics could make it even more fun.

Very good job! I like the game. Classic memory game with a funny twist. I played for quite a while and the only
two thing I would ask for are different backgrounds and the speed to increase. Other then that very solid game.

Incredible amount of polish for a game jam game! I felt that the sleep sections and the performance sections were a bit disconnected, as the dance moves in the dream did not match the dance moves in the upcoming performance. Also as others have stated, showing the dance rune symbols on the shield took my focus away from the main character, which is a shame given how much effort has been put in its visual appeal. A solid entry with some room to grow as a post-jam game!

The game was very fun and the animation was great ! Awesome work

I'm terrible at these kinds of memory games, but I had fun with this. The aesthetic of the game is awesome and very well done, not to mention hilarious. Great job on this!

Loved the mood, although I am not sure rythm was a thing, and I am terrible at memory games, but also loved the art!

Cool idea!

The Good
----
Nice game. It has a casual vibe and a classic memory puzzle style. The design and visuals is really good. The audio is also a very good aspect of the game.

The Bad
----
It lacks an incentive for the player to keep going. The leader board definitely helps, however it does not add anything game play wise. Also I cannot say I feel it fits the theme of the jam really well (you do repeat the pattern some times and play the same loop however it does not feel like one).

Other comments
----
Having said all of the above, I can say the game feels good to play and I like it.

Congrats on the game. Keep up the good work!

Graphics and GUI are spot on. I love the art style. The gameplay itself is simple but can get a little boring afterwards since it's basically just a Simon memory game. Nonetheless, the game feels really polished and has a really cool main character. It reminds me of old flash games from 10 years ago that I would play on Miniclip.

Love the graphic!

Great artstyle, funny and interesting take on the theme. What's not to like?

Love the idea! Funny premise, simple gameplay, solid audio, cute visuals. Overall a great and solid game. The only thing I could say that could be improved is to have some progression/unlocks (I know it does not necessarily fit with this style of game, but after a while it got pretty repetitive and I just stopped).
Still, very good game, and I got first on the leaderboard ^^

wow, Bibicio! well done! thanks for playing!

our team has learned a lot from this game jam and from the feedback from players like you. much appreciated :-)

+great art

+nice music

+good memory gameplay

-sound seemed a bit too loud compared to the music!

Great work!

I was expecting a rhythm game, so I was a little thrown off at first.

Then this happened....lol


(Not trying to be mean; my game is pretty much a Yoshi's Island puzzle platformer, nothing new there lol)

Great presentation! Good artwork, funky music and sounds, fun/silly take on a classic game.

I love this Viking, he is such a sweetheart. I wish the sounds made by the keys matched up better with the music, and that this had more to do with the theme. Overall this was a great game and super fun to play :)

The game looks great, awesome graphics and a side of humour that I loved. But I was expecting something a bit more rythmic instead of the Simon game. It's not a bad idea for this theme but maybe it would be cool to change it up a little if you want to make something with this game in the near future.

Up the rythm for example. It would affect difficulty so maybe think of instead of delivering the sequence with sounds upon being pressed maybe do something like Guitar Hero or Piano Tiles 2 and synch the button presses with the rythm of music that plays in the background. Different musics will give you different tempos changing difficulty for you. The further you complete a sequence the further you get into a song. Just and idea but could work :)
Whatever you do, do not get rid of the viking dancing, make it funny like the Rasputin with Vladimir Putin video. Go wild.

Even then great idea and well executed :thumbsup:

I didn't really get the difference between dream and waking sequences, it all seemed like the same game to me. Also the Simon Says mechanic left me not really getting anything new from this game, but that's just me :sweat_smile:

But the concept of a viking being so obsessed with dancing is fun, and the art is really good.

Good job :)

Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on my livestream!

Nice one!

The mechanic is simple, but there are so many things done right here!
The main thing I loved was that each sequence is characterised by sound, symbol, color, and position. This is really really good for memorisation.
Nice art with a lot of great details, good sound and music choices.

The game feels repetitive fast as it is very easy and the difficulty goes up quite slowly. I did not really understood the use of such a complicated score system too but I think that's just me!

Thanks for the game I had fun 💕

Cute Oolag! I'd like to be able to replay full dance without key presses. Thanks for the entry.

I like the sounds effect which is really relaxed and the mans effects are harmonious with it. The game is easy to understand and play. Good job for limited time.

As everyone said above, great art and humor! And I would have like a more rythm-based gameplay too ^^ Anyway good job !

I must admit I was expecting a rithym gameplay as well, but overral great work. The title got me laughing xD

Fun graphics and music, but I wish the gameplay ramped up in difficulty a bit faster! I played through a few loops but it didn't seem to be getting harder so I might have quit too soon based on the other comments?

I really liked the character, the sound whenever I pressed the keys felt with sort of a delay and pressing the inputs at the rate I was making them made me feel a bit like I was doing them wrong and that sort of tripped me later on onto making mistakes. All in all a nice simon says entry, good job! :)

I like the art. Never realized I've wanted to be a dancing Viking so thanks for that!

Really cute and funny theme. The graphics and sound design were really nice. Wish the difficulty curve was steeper as it felt slow in the beginning.

What a fun game! I liked your interpretation of the theme and the way you turned your interpretation into a fun and funny dance game. I see a lot of potential in your idea, please keep working on it, to make it grow and become something expanded! In general I liked the controls, the graphics, and especially the sound. It is very comfortable and rewarding to hit the button sequence. It is a very good experience. Good job.

This was a fun take on an old style of memory game that I love. I wasn't expecting gameplay like that after seeing the art / description of the game, but it was a pleasant surprise. I especially like that you put some nice custom UI in as well, the buttons are dope!

very fun memory game. Good work with the graphic and with sound!
