The newest, latest game by Puuba and Akupara is here! It's got Rhythm. It's got Action. It's a Fighter. It's... The Choreographist! The What?! Crim, a brash and nomadic fiend slayer, has no time for music, dance, or art. That is, until she offends the wrong necromancer raising the roofs of the undead. Now, cursed with the insatiable need to dance, Crim and her jubilant goblin partner Gleam will have to use all of their newly found moves to slay their way through the crowds of monsters across the stereophonic lands.

Not only musical prowess, but deeply thought strategy will win the day! Catch it all on Puuba's Twitch Page starting Tuesday Night. Prizezz! Everyone in attendance at each match will be entered into a raffle for one Steam Key for a variety of Puuba and Metronomicon stuffs. The tournament winners will get a dope custom printed Metronomicon manual! One of a kind, just designed, and zazzy as all heck.

- Looking For Competitors - Speedrun Tournament!! - 8 September 2017
Because racing is fun! Wanna Play a Game? To celebrate the release of "Slay The Dance Floor", I'd like to propose a friendly competition. How about a head-to-head speedrun tournament? Build your fastest team, and outfit them with your best gear and moves. Then, face off against another competitor to race to the finish, live on Twitch. Each match will be best-of-three in a custom ten song playlist. First to complete two playlists wins! However, once you win a match, the heroes you've picked for that team are Knocked Out. So, you'll need to build two teams, evenly matched. I think this format should be really fun, and stretch the creativity and strategy of the competitors. XD We're putting together some simple but cool prizes, and the devs will be commentating the whole competition. Want some more details? http://www.puuba.com/tourney We're only looking for eight or so competitors, and sc…
