Right now there is no indication of this which means a lightning bolt might just appears out of nowhere or there is such a cluster of shamans on the screen that making sense of the situation is just hopeless.\r\rI advocate adding a few GUI elements:\r\r1. An aura around the opponent who is currenly targeting you and\/or a small arrow that points to them.\r2. Their dance moves should be of different color and bigger and maybe even duplicated on top of your dance moves so that responding to them is more easier.\r3. An indicator on who you are targeting. This might clash with the prior points so it's not absolutely necessary."},{"author_name":"Hyoga-3D","author_uid":"23927","time":"Apr 27, 2015 @ 8:28pm","epoch":1430166180,"text":"haha very nice game, art and sound is good, gameplay is nice too, good job."},{"author_name":"ChronusZ","author_uid":"10652","time":"Apr 28, 2015 @ 2:18am","epoch":1430187180,"text":"The dancing mechanics felt a little too slow for such a fast paced game.
