Thank you for your feedback! It’s a big relief that the concept translates well in video and that it’s not something I like just because I’m too close to it. I’ve seen other games mash the rhythm genre with other genres (like Bullets Per Minute) and it looks fun to work with.
Yes, Geekdom is the working title for now. The setting is a Disney’s Magic Kingdom type of amusement park, with each area themed after a different geeky genre: medieval fantasy, sci-fi, superhero, etc. It’ll help give context to why everything around the main character is dancing around them. It’ll also have various styles to play with this concept in each chapter.
The song used in the second video is a free-use song from Pond5.com:
