This deck builder game was made in just 3 weeks! | First Impressions - Dancing Duelists

✨Overview In Dancing Duelists, you step into the shoes of one of ten charming, cartoonish characters, each radiating a unique silly vibe. The goal is straightforward - win seven battles to claim the title of the ultimate Dance Duelist. However, be wary of accumulating three losses, as that spells your way out of the competition. It's also a roguelike in the truest sense, with every defeat resetting your progress.

Unity’s game engine has historically been popular with indie developers, but recently announced fee changes sparked massive backlash. They eventually walked back some of the changes, and the CEO stepped down, but most game devs aren’t interested in working with Unity in the future. What can they do? Well, if you’re Mega Crit, the team behind Slay the Spire, you can spend three weeks learning a new engine and put out an awesome free deck-builder.

Following their announcement to switch away from the Unity engine, the team behind "Slay the Spire" unveiled a fresh game demo titled "Dancing Duelist" during a game jam. It's now available for free download, and they suggest that if players truly want to show their support, they can consider donating to the open-source game engine, Godot. The gameplay of the game is incredibly simple. Players select their "dancers" and two skill cards before entering the dance floor. In the dance floor, you need to participate in seven rounds of competition. To win, you must either reduce your opponent's HP to zero, have your HP reach 50, or make your opponent exhaust all of their cards, proving that you are the ultimate dancer.
