This is not a good game *2020-03-29, version 1.6* This is not a dancing game, despite the write-up. It’s just not fun. Hinting that is has something to do with/is approved by a professional ballet company is just misleading, bordering on deceptive! Decent graphics & music, but the core gameplay doesn’t make any sense. ### 3/5 — We tried, but it just didn't click *2019-05-12, version 1.6* 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!) ### 5/5 — 待ってました！！ *2018-09-25* 神ゲーすぎる！ ずっとやりたかったゲームなので嬉しいです。でもやる友達がいないので、1人で踊ってます。もしダンスか好きな人いたら一緒にやりませんか？？ ### 4/5 — Fun game *2018-07-22, version 1.6* Love the game and concept but my boyfriend is miserable and won’t play with me ☹️ ### 5/5 — 너무 재밌어요!! *2018-01-04* 진짜 너무 재밌는데 같이 할 사람이 없어 슬프네요... ### 5/5 — Super! *2017-12-31* Dieses spiel macht spaß! ### 2/5 — Gets too hard too fast *2017-12-30, version 1.6* 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! ### 4/5 — bounden *2017-02-25, version 1.5* laudable, 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 ### 5/5 — Date Night? *2016-11-26, version 1.4* My girlfriend loves it when we play this game. I think it's her new favorite app;D ## Frequently asked questions about Bounden ### What is Bounden? Bounden is a unique dancing game designed for two players.
