    I can imagine that.

    Reminds me of my experience with a rhythm game/RPG of sort from some time ago, that had battles being played like Dance Dance Revolution games. Only you had to switch in real time between 3 alternative charts to attack/defend/heal.

    It’s probably not actually meant for using with an actual DDR dance mat, but it’s a feature if you want to, and, well, I have mats. However there’s the problem of all those non-arrow commands, like switching panels, and it’s a bit much for just feet. So the way I tried it was using a controller for actions while I stepped to the arrow charts.

    My conclusion : coordinating all that stuff is fucking hard.
