The silly dance moves and camera angles are a nice touch.
I wanted to try it out, but when I start the game I only see a black screen albeit the controls. Couldn't hear music either.

I'm a Linux-user so I launched it through WINE. That's probably the reason, or then it's a graphics card -driver issue.
Most Unity-games work quite well with WINE, but I've noticed if the game includes bloom (?) or certain lightning effects, there will be trouble.

It's understandable that including a native Linux-build might seem unnecessary (since we're the minority).
But whenever it's possible, try to include builds that can be run on different systems. :pray:

PS. I like the fact you included a time-display. As you can see, I was trying out the game at the perfect hour for a dance-game.
If it wasn't for Covid19, I might be raving at the club even as we speak! :man_dancing_tone1:
Cheers! :beers:
Sorry I didn't catch the line about needing to wiggle the audio nob before the music started; I ended up getting a fair way in before I actually heard the music! Loved the aesthetic of this... the VHS font, the subtle distortion and CRT effect on the corners... real nice! Impressive models and animations too! Enjoyed the challenge of doing a rhythm game with one hand, while controlling my slippery movements with the other. Thanks for making this! Any opportunity to shake my bony butt and keep Roller Disco alive is a welcome one.
