Report an issueGame Oven's whimsical dancing game for two players, with choreography by the Dutch National Ballet. Twist and twirl elegantly, or get entangled with a friend.
Holding either end of a device, you tilt the device around a virtual sphere following a path of rings. You swing your arms and twist your body, and before you know it, you are already dancing.
• Watch the Dutch National Ballet dancers in Bounden's tutorial videos. • Unlock 8 dances. • Classical music composed by Bart Delissen.
Bounden was featured on the New York Times, the Guardian, BBC, The Verge, Mashable, Kotaku, GiantBomb, Joystiq, Destructoid, and many others.

8 of 25laudable, clever & mildly amusing with pretty music, also good support, 5 stars if the dances weren't locked so the player(s) could choose what & when, and the player wasn't required to dance an entire dance before being allowed another jig
I've been looking forward to playing this game since I heard of it months ago. Really worth the wait. Grab it now!
Can NOT play with 1 person. That being said it is a really innovative game for 2 people. Sure it might be $1 more than it should be for a 2 person only game but keep this in your arsenal for a good go-to impromptu date. It gets you closer to your partner better than a dinner and movie. It will keep you both laughing and learning together. It's a lot cheaper and reusable. The makers did a bad job with the preview pictures (2 girls dancing together = :/ ) but if you've read this far it's really worth while getting for its originality and innovativeness. Directions are not very clear, but think of the circle like an open mouth and the sphere's opening like another mouth; since there's 2 players there's 2 mouths making a conversation.
Such an interesting "game". Takes a bit to really grasp by once you and your partner have it down it's tons of fun. Just in case it's not obvious this is a strictly two player experience.
Really cool concept, but we just couldn't get into the music. After level 1 it gets so confusing that we sort of just bs thru it until we give up. Also, the videos are impossible to follow (but interesting to watch!)
This game has a good concept but is almost impossible after the first level. It's fun until it starts telling you you're going TOO FAST! Or TOO SLOW! No, I didn't come here to be told that "I'm not doing it right!" And that in order to do anything beyond the first and second level it requires practice and doing it over and over to progress. How is that fun? It is just frustrating. It would be improved with easier dancing and help with the tricky moves. And, what is up with all the levels being locked?! I paid for this app, let me try the other levels!
This is my new favorite app! I honestly can't wait to show it off to friends! My boyfriend and I had a fantastic time with it!
Played it at PAX, it's fun and interesting. It's like a pickup line disguised as a video game.
