Making strategic choices is not the same as making tactical choices.
In many games, you make both strategic as well as tactical choices.
For example, in a game like Warcraft, you define both the strategy (what types of units you will play, where the groups of units go) as well as tactical (what individual units do during a battle, flanking maneuvers, etc.)
In games like this, you take the role solely of a strategist. You guide the overarching strategy of the game, but an actor (in this case a computer program) takes over the tactical play; it makes the moment-to-moment decisions.
I love this game so much!!! My favorite is Carnival Carry, but all of them are super cool and interesting, all the designs are so well thought out, and the MUSIC IS SO COOL!!! SUCH AN AMAZING SOUNDTRACK <3
Whenever I try to play the game, specifically as Country Carl, the game freezes. Whenever its Carl's move, my Carl or the NPC, it always plays the spinning circle of death and then the game becomes unplayable. I am using the MAC version.
I was initially quite frustrated by the fact it played automatically, but actually, it just focuses the gameplay on the deckbuiling aspect of card games (and it's great!)
I'm a big fan of the Weaver's stalling strategies and the super aggressive Henry (managed to 1 turn kill every opponent at the end). It's really nice that every win condition can come up in a clash (except maybe for decking out).
This game was super fun and has tons of replay value!
My only critiques are that you may go up against the same opponents back to back or multiple times. I also managed to get KO'd in 1-3 turns a few times, so maybe there's some balance work to be done? Or I might just suck (the trash meta will work one day!)
Anyway, keep up the good work. I hope this concept gets expanded on in the future.
bugs: 1. as the grooving oracle, if I trash an enemy's card, I don't heal even though the description is "When a card is trashed". 2. if I fight against the carnival carry, my first card is also played twice.
Could we pleease get those fixed? I know, the game is free and Mega Crit doesn't owe us anything, but this game is so fun and I would play it much more if those bugs were fixed :)
Do you have a list of what cards are affected by Super Hot Fire? It's not clearly noted on the cards and I can't seem to figure out what, if any, gets boosted
Also my favorite strat is Rollerblade country carl + asteroid. It even breaks through butter magic
Hi, ive recently started to study game dev with godot, and i was wondering if you could release this as an open source. i would love to see the work flow of a team such as mega crit! (big slay the spire fan obv)
i know its a lot to ask, but it doesnt hurt to do so :)

This game is awesome! Is a great auto battler with a unique disco dancing style! I love it!
My first win. Such an amazing game :)

The fact that Carnival Carry is forever doomed to be stuck giving enemies a double cast is hilarious to me. 5/5
This is really fun, well done! :-)
When slay the spire 2?
could you release the source code so that people can mod the game?
feels like another FNF XD

👍
I made a 6:9 boxart for use with Playnite. I have no idea if itch will reduce the quality on this. Also I'm not an artist, I just did my best.
Here's our coverage of this version - looking forward to the full release!!!
https://overage-gaming.com/2023/10/21/dancing-duelists-lets-play/
my understanding was this was a 1 off game jam game to familiarize with the new engine rather than the new game they mentioned
If you need help with the translation of the game to spanish im happy to help
He's just too sick
little update lol
easiest dancer to win with imo
tied with this guy maybe
Really cool game! Everything is so polished!

Good job team!
I love the soundtrack. Would like to contribute to it if you need any more music.
Is there somewhere we can listen to the soundtrack? I love it so much!
I got you: https://grahmnesbitt.bandcamp.com/album/dancing-duelists-ost
Thanks! Baroque Brawl is probably my favorite of the bunch, excellent work!

Will there be gamepad support in future update?
The game window doesnt fit my screen On start, cant fullscreen with F11. and the options arent accessible.
I cant play. Occurs on Windows 10
the game just freezes in the loading screen since i got blue screen while the game was open(didnt get the blue screen because of it)
i reinstalled and run ccleaner already.
does someone know what else i can do?

I think Super Hot Fire only affects Fire Blast (1 damage x3), maybe also Scorching Sylph's Fiery Attitude.
Ran out of cards, my very last card to get trashed was midnight oil. Pain
This is such a fun game, I wish there was some sort of victory screen when you win, though.
The game seems fun, but most screens run at like 10 fps for me (linux user, but on Wine it's the same)
Specifically it seems like cards being on the screen drops the frames
EDIT: Played some in spite of the framerate. This game desperately needs a deck thinning mechanic
Had a lot of fun playing this little game. Can't wait for your next game.
Also, Disco Dan is broken af
