## Description

Game Oven's whimsical dancing game for two players, with choreography by the Dutch National Ballet. Twist and twirl elegantly, or get entangled with a friend.

Holding either end of a device, you tilt the device around a virtual sphere following a path of rings. You swing your arms and twist your body, and before you know it, you are already dancing.

•  Watch the Dutch National Ballet dancers in Bounden's tutorial videos.
•  Unlock 8 dances.
•  Classical music composed by Bart Delissen.

Bounden was featured on the New York Times, the Guardian, BBC, The Verge, Mashable, Kotaku, GiantBomb, Joystiq, Destructoid, and many others.

## Review summary

Bounden is praised for its innovative two‑player on‑one‑phone concept, social and romantic appeal, and well‑guided dances with strong visuals. However, many reviews cite frustration from difficult progression, locked levels, and unclear instructions. The game shines with a partner and at parties but can be challenging for new players and may require content unlocking to access all dances.

### Pros

- Innovative concept using the phone accelerometer in a two‑player on‑one‑device format.
- Strong social appeal: great as a party icebreaker and romantic date‑night activity.
- Dances are well guided and engaging when playing with a partner.
- High-quality visuals and music create an appealing, immersive atmosphere.
- Good perceived value and replayability for couples and groups.

### Cons

- Steep difficulty and frustrating progression after the initial levels; requires practice to advance.
- Levels/dances are locked behind progress or payment, limiting access for new users.
- Instructions and on-screen guidance can be unclear; videos are hard to follow.
- Not playable solo; strictly a two‑player experience.
