no modern mobile game will ever give you the same feeling of an old school adobe flash game developed by broke collage students. they're all choke full of ads, they trap you in endless loops and they won't let you actually "win" because that would mean you stop playing. but somewhere in this greedy brain-dead norm, you have friggin dancing line. i don't have to tell you that this low resolution puzzle game is GOATED because the fact that it has a fandom will tell you all you need to know. it may seem like your average ad filled coworker game but it's actually like so cool?? if you've never played it dancing line is a puzzle game where you can bend a straight line every time you tap the screen and in order for it to stay in its designated path you have to tap to the beat of the music. it starts out with tracks that are really easy to follow but gets insanely difficult later on. i've had this game for years and there are levels that i still cant clear. and each one has a unique theme and the music absolutely slaps and the levels are filled with easter eggs and secret paths?? like why did they feel the need to cook so hard with this?? and yeah it is filled with ads but if you play it offline this game feels like an adobe game you would play on your family computer as a kid. so here are some niche details from the game that make me absolutely go insane.

— they have secret roads that you can only find if you ignore the path you see on screen and focus on tapping to the music. these roads usually give you the crystals you need to clear the level.

— in one of the levels, there is an eagle that follows you while you play. at a certain part, you have to match the music perfectly or the little birds on your path wake up and fly off, this angers the eagle and he flies off to steal one of the crystals on your way, so you can't get it. you have to play without getting the birds to wake up or you never finish the level.

— in another level, you're trapped in a maze and there are all these fake turns that you have to avoid because they go to dead ends, you have to pay attention to the music so you can stay on the right path. you usually enter a pyramid at the end of every level. but in this one, if you tap according to the music the path takes you somewhere else, and you go around the temple you were trying to escape earlier. there on the outside wall, you can see a picture of the game's development team with a message that says thank you for playing 😭

the game is so much more detailed than it ever needed to be and i'm such a nerd about it i don't even care how lame this sounds. i love dancing line.

(I forgot to mention this for most of my other posts, but DO NOT take anything I say or draw as canon. This is just my own personal interpretation of the games)

Parrot from Dancing Line

Today, I just learned that my favorite rhythm game ever, Dancing Line, is getting revived after a little less than 3 years after it got indefinitely removed from most app stores. This makes me indescribably happy because that game means so much to me on a sentimental level. It kinda makes me realize that I might have been knocked out of my flow of making the comic based off of it (the longest comic I've ever made in my life) because of losing the point of why I even started making it. Lines started out as a silly comic mostly meant for me and my friends, getting bigger and bigger as the game updated more and more. But when the game shut down, it was around that time that I wanted to show the comic to others to make this game more well known, and hopefully lift the moods of others who might want to read about silly characters doing silly things with an increasingly strange story. Hilariously, the comic has nothing to do with much of what happens in the game since it doesn't really have an actual story at all, but it has immense spirit and beauty and heart put into it. The community around dancing line fell apart once the game essentially became discontinued, it felt like a ghost town with a few stragglers hanging around waiting to see what would happen. Now that I see this official revival, I'm finding the motivation to continue working on the comic as a whole again. It was never abandoned, I would never do that to something I care so much about. I just needed to remember the reason and feelings around why I did it: Because it made me happy, and it made others happy too. I just want to see people enjoy themselves, even if things get harrowing or sad or scary. I love dancing line, and hopefully more people will see it this time around to give it the love it deserves.
