BOUNDEN

Bounden is an indie dancing video game developed by Game Oven in collaboration with the Dutch National Ballet. The game guides two players to dance using a single phone. It features a sphere that rotates using the phone’s gyroscope. The sphere has markers placed on top, lined up for the players to pick up by aligning them with the crosshair in the center of the screen. This interface shows both players how to rotate the phone together and in sync. Bounden has 8 dances in total: 4 playful, Twister-like dances made by Game Oven, aimed to get two people entangled. The other 4 are graceful, ballet-like choreographies made by the Dutch National Ballet. The game also features tutorial videos with Dutch National Ballet dancers, intended to show players how to move.
