Game Oven’s dancing game Bounden

Game Oven’s whimsical dancing game for two players, with choreography by the Dutch National Ballet

Bounden is a whimsical dancing game for two players, with choreography by the Dutch National Ballet. With this unique collaboration, Bounden finds common ground between ballet and games. It is a game in which two people rotate a phone for which the makers of Game Oven make use of the gyroscope to track the phone’s orientation.
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. Twist and twirl elegantly, or get entangled with a friend!

Bounden was presented by Game Oven at SXSW 2015. They got a lot of praise and recognition and were an Innovation Award and Nuovo Award Finalist. You can download the app in Play store and App Store.
