![]() ![]() A 4 star fight that’s brutally fast-paced where my eyes and fingers struggled to keep up. But then you get to the game’s version of a boss battle at Neon Square. ![]() The first stage, Top Apartment Floor, asks you to reach a high score of 4000-an easy feat. Starting off you’ll traverse through Neon City, dancing your way through the streets and completing challenges to progress. True progression comes in the form of stages within lobby areas. There is a leaderboard for highest in-game level, and as of this writing the top 2 players are level 129-clearly committed to tearing up the dance floor. But in general leveling is more of a show of commitment to the game than an indication of skill. At level 10 i was able to claim 2000 BRC, used as a currency in exchange for some shop items. Successfully dancing like Patrick Swayze allots experience, but experience doesn’t dictate much beyond available rewards. The chaos is what makes it interesting, and pulling off demanding move-sets is inherently rewarding. From 3 stars onwards it becomes chaotic for the musically challenged. As I progressed through the game’s difficulties I started stepping on my own toes, unable to keep up with the prompts. But my ability to feel the music soon fell apart like college Salsa lessons. It’s surprisingly addicting, and my head started bobbing to the rhythm as my combo stacked up past 50 moves. Pressing it as soon as the annular is aligned with the button rewards you with a “Perfect.” Strike too soon and you’ll be judged as “Cool,” or for nonrhythmic players a “Nice.” Each “Perfect” key sends just enough cortisol through the bloodstream to make it engaging. With each movement prompt a disc shrinks around the button prompt. ![]() As my avatar busted moves to songs outside my jurisdiction I pressed up, down, left, and right to rack up combos. Owning the dance floors means dexterously using your arrow keys.
