the endless dance
You've been dancing with her for a long time, outrunning the static. Now she has something to tell you.
Take her hand and go around again.

I love it. I enjoyed the integration of the different music and the writing, and how you could actually loop around for an endless dance.
Thank you so much! I had a lot of fun making the game--glad you enjoyed it.
This is absolutely beautiful work. I love how vivid the writing is and the music selection is great. Was a really nice choice to change text color for every jump to set a difference scene. Wonderful job!
Thanks! We had some really great music to choose from this jam, so I'm glad I could write something to do it justice.
Nicely written! I love the use of the music here. The prose is gorgeous and sets the tone really well. I appreciate the small bit of replayability, too.
Thank you! I really wanted people to be able to replay and get a totally different sequence of jumps, so I'm glad you caught that.
Great work! Interesting story and I like the way you utilized the songs both from atmosphere and how it is integrated directly into the story. I did feel like I got a bit lost on the prose of some of the text, but I also feel like it was warranted because the story is about waxing romantics haha.
Great stuff!
Hey, thank you! Yeah, I've got a bit of a habit for flowery prose, and writing four different versions of every jump did start to wear on me after a while, haha. I'm glad you liked it.
