Brighten your day while brightening others. Bad words made the DiNGiES sad. DiNGiES live inside a head. “Do not show your colors, nor sing or dance! You’re different! Unnormal! I won’t give a chance!”. Now all they want is sleep all day. There is no good reason, why they shouldn’t play. “I don’t care what you want, do what I say!”. Is there somebody out there, to guide them their way? To find a new home, forever to stay. (hoping some day, they’ll too be okay) Do you know a place where they can dance forever? Be creative and use their unique talents to unleash epic combos and reach even the furthest. Dance with your fingers. Wake them all up. But be careful, don’t let them fall down. Bring back their light and make some noise! DiNGiES is an art project. A digital toy in loving memory of old analog water ring toss games, you might remember from your childhood, combined with popping bubble wrap and many unique flavors. Existence and communication at its core, it’s cozy or action packed, however YOU prefer to play. Bored while waiting for public transport to arrive? Sittin’ on the loo for too long? DiNGiES has the perfect timing. With every round being less than 2 minutes, DiNGiES respects your time and does not have artificial waiting times to grab your money. Gardyloo! Designed to motivate and lift up spirits. Aims to reduce stress and raise your energy. With over 100 handcrafted high-quality songs from 22 extraordinary artists, DiNGiES delivers a broad range of emotions to enrich your daily life. Tap DiNGiES at the right moment and they sing along with the music. What that moment is, is fully up to you. Go with your flow. Or maybe don’t play at all. Put your favorite headphones on, chill on the couch and just listen to the integrated DiNGiES Boombox. Relax or move some of your feet and arms a little. Doing chores has never been easier. :) Synchronized across the globe, DiNGiES Boombox makes sure you and fellow DiNGiES friends around the planet are listening to the exactly the same musical note, down to the millisecond. It’s faster than lightspeed and one of the biggest synchronized soundsystems ever created, with the diameter of the planet Earth (12,756km or 7,92mi). You’re never alone in DiNGiES space, even if life may sometimes feel like it. Somewhere, somebody is dancing to the same tune as you. DiNGiES only communicates with the internet for syncing its clock, using the Network Time Protocol (NTP), and when the app crashes. This helps me fix it and is fully anonymous. When all crashes are fixed, DiNGiES will as such never phone home. Everything is made with maximum privacy in mind and you can read more about this in the Privacy Policy. DiNGiES is free with no ads, but you can support me (the developer) with a small purchase of up to 3 different Supporter DiNGiES. They will forever be yours and you’ll never need to pay for them again. Supporting will allow me to make the game even better and you’ll get a whole band. Thanks a lot! DiNGiES is a social project. 50% of every Supporter DiNGiES sale goes equally to Mission Erde e.V., to help protect our planets oceans and wildlife, and local animal shelters and protection projects around the world. Let’s save the world together with these awesome people! (I’m not affiliated with Mission Erde e.V., just love them) TLDR: - cozy or action packed gameplay, reminiscent of nostalgic toys with unique modern flavors - like water ring toss + popping bubble wrap - respects your time and money; round length less than 2 minutes - 100 high-quality songs from 22 amazing artists - among the biggest, fully synchronized soundsystems ever created - no tracking, no ads - social project support Love you! Thomas (Top Secret, don’t read: You can get the “Share Support DiNGiE” without actually sharing the game with anyone. Just hit the button and then cancel and the DiNGiE is yours forever. Be sure to tell this to everyone you know, so they can also get the DiNGiE for free :)
