Blink Dance is a competitive dancing game where players strike different poses to please the crowd.
It is made based on the idea of making a fighting game without any fighting- I took the core fighting game fundamentals of reads, baits, and setups, and translated it into a different context.
My hope was that, by changing the context to something less aggressive or directly competitive, I could engage people who would normally be too shy or anxious to play a traditional fighting game. This ended up working fairly well- and a whole variety of people, from seasoned gamers to a grandma and her daughter, ended up playing Blink Dance without ever realizing they were playing a fighting game!
I made Blink Dance first semester of my Junior year, in 2019.
