Made by Synaptic Sugar
A story-driven rhythm action game. Join the undercover dancers of secret agency G.R.O.O.V.E. and help them master the power of the Rhyhtm, as they stumble upon a sinister plot by rival organization E.R.I.S. and attempt to stop it!
Play to the rhythm of 11 unique music tracks that expand and contract depending on your performance, across 15 game levels that will ask you to use the Playdate buttons and crank, often at the same time, with some surprises along the way. Customize your experience with a rich suite of difficulty and accessibility settings.
The levels progress across 4 gameplay variations, all riffing on the theme of moving along with the rhythm. Sway, sneak, and slide, but when all else fails the only way to solve a dispute may be a good, old-fashioned dance-off.
The agents of G.R.O.O.V.E. will meet many characters as a rich story unfolds via both gameplay and conversations, fully localized to English, Italian, French, Spanish and Japanese.
