Space Dance Harmony

OOooooof I just saw this game is a year in access already and yet it has so much basics left to fix. The biggest one is that the game recognises your movements very poorly at times. Getting a 5 star is nearly impossible because of the bad detection and scoring system that needs to be thrown out. Every right move gives you a multiplier. Mess one move up and you lose it all. This means that the ONLY way to get any high score is by not messing up and by that I mean trick the game into thinking you did the move. Hands are also in an awful position unless you have Vive Wands. You can't favourite, barely any settings or customization, it is just a downright broken mess at this point and who knows if the devs will ever fix it. I like the idea but they seriously need to fix everything fast or fade into obscurity.

Finally I found a game that is like xbox360s Dance Masters A,K,A Dance Evolution. I loved the game and the traces you follow to make big waves and the way you had to shake your arms/hands and pose. This game is so similar but the music has more western pop vibe. Here's a playlist of the songs. I got the link from their discord and hope it is OK to post here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-c9W03i3GEeR2sRvtRSUmNGeXrUzPrnM The game itself has some dancehall/afro vibe, which I like. It is not so hard to play, easy to follow. What I like the most is that it does not have or need full body tracking which is great for me with a really small play space. I can play this game in a small space without worrying to walk around and tilt stuff over or injure myself hitting something while taking steps. I can stay in a safe area and just make small feet moves and focus on moving my arms, hips and knees. YAY and also I can play at night without stomping around and waking up my neighbors. The pro songs are a bit faster but not to hard I guess. I have only tried one song. And I counted to 18 songs in total. I had fun and felt freedom playing it. I also like that the in game dancer has some rhythm feeling, moving hips and body which makes the game not feel stiff and yeah just want me to shake it off too.

Space Dance is very cool. Controllers freeze sometimes. Few song and environment, there will be more. One of the best early access game.

Diese Rezension wird unter zwei Spielen erscheinen. Unter diesem hier und unter "Dance". Beide Spiele sind ähnlich aufgebaut. Man bekommt einen Trainer (oder Trainerin) und ahmt dessen Bewegungen nach. Die Muster werden anhand von Punkten bewertet, die man beim tanzen einhalten sollte. "Space Dance" wirkt schon etwas älter, irgendwie erinnert es vom Design an die 90ger Jahre. Aber im Vergleich zu "Dance" habe ich es als viel zugänglicher empfunden. D.h. es war viel einfacher. "Dance" ist frischer, wirkt eleganter und moderner. Aber die Bewegungen haben es schon in sich. Mir haben beide Spiele gefallen. "Space Dance" werde ich als Einstieg benutzen. "Dance" als spätere Fortführung. Letzteres hat zusätzlich noch die Möglichkeit des Multiplayer (okay, das kommt für mich wohl weniger in Frage). - Aus der Sicht einer Nicht-Tänzerin geschrieben, die überhaupt keine Ahnung von sowas hat und darauf achten muss, die Gardinen zu schließen (oder das Rollo), damit die Nachbarn nicht den Notarzt rufen, weil sie seltsame Zuckungen beobachten. Aber ehrlich, ich hatte viel Spaß dabei, es ist einfach mal was ganz anderes und macht gute Laune. Und interessanterweise findet man in den Anleitungen viele Bewegungsmuster, die sich so ähnlich auch im "Industrial Dance" wieder finden (Achtung, wirkt auf "normale" Menschen vielleicht etwas befremdlich): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XV-LykNW2Pg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47hLdITGOAk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sg5jvS7s68Y (Die Entwickler können gerne Musik und Style zukünftig im Spiel mit aufnehmen... Wäre sehr cool.)

Das Game macht unfassbar viel Spaß (wenn man gerne tanzt, was bei mir der Fall ist :D) spielt man mit hoher Lautstärke hat man schon fast das Gefühl man wäre in einer Disco :) Ich hatte einfach Lust zu tanzen, bin aber nicht so gut darin, würde es aber gerne lernen und MUSS dafür dem Game ein sehr großes Lob aussprechen denn wenn man sein Bodymovement im Gedächnis hat und sich ungefähr vorstellen kann wie das gerade bei einem aussieht würde ich mal stark behaupten, dass man durch dieses Game schon die ein oder andere gute Tanzbewegung hinbekommt. Merkt man sich das Movement und schaut es sich im Spiegel an (ohne VR) hat man bestimmt was gelernt :) Aktuell gibt es wenig Hintergründe oder Individualisierungsmöglichkeiten für den Charakter, das finde ich aber nicht so schlimm da sich das Game noch im Early-Access befindet. Für das Feeling wären ein paar mehr Hintergründe cool, vielleicht auch etwas wo man noch andere Figuren im Hintergrund hat um mehr ein Club Feeling zu bekommen, das und ein paar mehr Songs und Tänze würde ich mir wünschen :) Gäbe es hier die Wahl das Spiel mit 1-10 zu bewerten, würde es für mich die volle Punktzahl geben, 10/10. Für Early Access bietet es schon ziemlich viel und ist technisch auch sehr gut umgesetzt, das Movement des Kopfes und der Hände wird gut mitgetrackt, leider habe ich nicht das nötige Equipment um zu testen ob man das Game auch mit Full-Body-Tracking spielen kann, sollte dies nicht möglich sein wäre das auch cool wenn Full-Body-Tracking supportet werden könnte. Auch ohne Full-Body-Tracking macht es riesigen Spaß, ich hab´s über Link Verbindung auf meiner Oculus Quest 2 gespielt und werde es definitiv weiterhin spielen. Ich bin sehr gespannt was die nächsten Updates mitbringen, für 10,79€ und den Spaß den das Game mit sich bringt, totale Kaufempfehlung meinerseits!

This is a very well done game. I do not see any reviews mentioning the new content added. It may have been that there were only a few songs in in 2021 but there is a good number now. Any beginner with the intent of actually learning all of the choreography would have many hours of content here. Music is great. The moves are fun. I hope the devs keep going with this game as updates are exciting to see. PC gaming needs more good dance material like this.

[h1] Pros and Cons of Space Dance Harmony [/h1] Bought this earlier today from the time of writing this, looked very fun and detailed from the pictures and videos on the store page. And it is. This game is a lot of fun, the graphics are very good, and the environments have a lot of detail. The game was also listed as $13 which I thought was very cheap for a VR game. A few things met my expectations while playing, and some did not. Here is my list of pros and cons about the game [b] Pros [/b] - Well optimized, runs flawlessly on my PC - Graphics are very good and highly detailed - The movement of the instructor feels very natural - The dances were well choreographed and fun to dance to - The scoring actually factors more than just hand movement and position. I was expecting something like Just Dance where the only thing that matters is hand movement, but this uses everything for scoring which I like. HOWEVER the scoring seems to be very broken, which a lot of people reported. I didn't really notice cause I just thought I sucked at the game but that needs to be fixed ASAP. [b] Cons [/b] - There are only 7 songs you can play, and only one difficulty each. Also, only one of the songs is an easy difficulty. I would've been fine with it if each song had all 3 difficulties but that is not the case. - The variety of songs is mostly the same - The price may seem like it's not worth it, considering I played every level including the tutorial, got to see every environment, and essentially do everything that you can do once in 30 minutes. Of course I know that the point is to play the levels multiple times to get better, but content is definitely lacking. - Even though you can set the play size all the way down to 0.5m, it doesn't seem to make a difference. I was using a small area while playing, and I thought that turning that setting down would make it so that I could experience it fully, but it sadly didn't. I'll play with a bigger area later and see if that makes it more comfortable, since the shop page says that you need 2mx2m of space. [b] Final Thoughts [/b] This game has a lot of potential, but a long way to go. The developer said on the shop page that they plan to release in 2021, and I have a strong feeling that is not going to happen. The developer also mentioned that they plan on adding more songs, which is a good step. In conclusion, it's fun if you like this type of a game, but don't expect too much content out of it AND DEAR GOD PLEASE FIX THE SCORING

Muy bueno, es muy agradable seguir a bailar en serio, nunca ha bailado y con gafas no se puede ver a sí mismo bailar, no se avergüenza de seguir a la gente en el interior. Sólo unas pocas canciones ahora, lo primero debería ser ampliar la canción y reoptimizar la decisión. A diferencia de la espada de luz rítmica, este es UN verdadero juego de todo el cuerpo en movimiento y listo para ser el próximo juego de sonido vr. Hope to add simplified chinese.

Updated Review: an incredible hidden gem. a huge amount of content for very little money and significantly more fun and immersive than any of the other music games. the music is similarly extremely good while not needing to prop itself up with common "hits". its so good in fact that i searched for it on spotify to add it to my playlists. i got this game over a year ago and still have it installed and enjoy it deeply every time i jump in. not many games i can say that about, lol. best 10 bucks i spent all year, highly recommend! edit: played on Pimax8kX with valve index controllers on a 3080.
