Ol' Limberlegs by pvg

[raw]
made by pvg for Ludum Dare 52 (COMPO)

The harvest has been brought in, and it's time to celebrate with music and dancing, and nobody dances like Ol' Limberlegs.

Ol' Limberlegs is a simple rhythm game with a few twists. Enjoy!

How to play

Use the arrow keys or WASD to press the indicated key when the bubble crosses the target. Keep the key down for two beats of the song, while the bubble is over the target. Time the press and the release just right to earn the most points.

While you are holding that pose, you can also dance with your other limbs. Using different limbs to dance earns more points than just shaking a leg.

Post your high scores!

Developer notes

Nice. I found that I could follow the prompt with WASD, then add some flourishes with the arrow keys (at least at pokey speed). The only problem is that I was so busy watching the prompts that I couldn't also watch Ol' Limberlegs do his dance.

@apg Yeah, there's too much happening on the screen to enjoy it---and a two-handed approach is, I suspect, the secret to competitive play.

Simple and funny game! I try my best and get 640 points, seems I make all perfect, not sure is it the max score?

@mnikn It's the highest posted here so far, so you're the current top. However, I bet you can get more points! Remember that you can get bonus points by dancing with your other limbs while you're holding down a pose. (That's in the instructions above, but it's not obvious from the game itself. No time for me to add an in-game tutorial...)

I've managed to get 795 points in the first song and 917 in the second! Fun and challenging game. The decision to use two sets of inputs was a clever way to make a classic rhythm game more interesting. Well done!

I like the concept of timing the release of the button press. Also adding points for additional moves is a cool twist for making dance combos.

Really fun and addictive! I got 905 on the first song and 880 on the second. Cute entry, great work!
