Pump It Up!

Those who love to dance and want to hone their skills and abilities will surely love the game "Pump It Up!", which was developed by the Korean company AndaMiro. It is actually a dance simulator and a kind of rhythm game. You need to start with low difficulty levels. This game is very popular in the countries of Asia and Latin America, where dynamic dances are in favor.

Features of the game "Pump It Up!"

The game is unusual, you also need to adapt to it. The rules are simple. There are 2 playing fields, each with 5 buttons, 1 in the center and 4 on the sides. There are paired arrows: the upper ones are red and the lower ones are blue, the central one is yellow. It is worth starting the game, as the arrows begin to crawl up, where their shapes are located. When they match, click on the arrow. The frequency and speed of their progress depends on the music and rhythm.

Stepchat can consist of ordinary arrows and double jumps, when you need to press not only with your feet, but also with your hands. If the arrows go double, then you need to jump so that, having landed, press your foot on both panels at once. If there are stretched arrows, then a long press is required until the arrow passes through the translucent stencil.

The computer evaluates the player's skill by clicking accuracy and gives its own score. He also counts the number of combinations. The screen also displays a lifebar - a life bar that estimates the participant's chances of completing the selected song. The starting percentage is 50%, and it rises according to the results of the efforts. If the mark moves down to zero, then the track is played.

The music is selected dynamic, you can catch rap, pop, mitola. Players note that it is not necessary to subtly hear the melodies, even if the arrow starts abruptly, the player still has a chance to catch it. The main thing is not to disrupt the sequence of successful clicks. And the synchronization of hands with music fades into the background. It is more comfortable to press the buttons with your feet, and this aspect annoys some gamers, they say, it is inconvenient to play in shoes. It is not difficult to catch the arrows at easy levels, but when the pace increases, you have to twitch very actively.

Nuances and tricks

In fact, the result of entertainment depends on endurance, if we talk about difficult levels. Because catching a bunch of arrows in a second is extremely difficult. Experienced players found their way out by poking around for a comfortable foot position and balance. With little effort.

There are different ways to go through the track by pressing the buttons with your feet, at least in turn, at least dodging cunningly. Difficult turns require good balance and the ability to see the feet in the stepchart on the screen. And given that at high levels, complex turns are superimposed on the speed of the track, there are few craftsmen who can do all this. But in such a case, the dodgers have already invented their own trick: they shift the center of gravity on the foot and move only with the toe-heel, pressing 2-3 buttons each.

What are doubles in Pump It Up!

The point here is that you need to run on 2 platforms at once, that is, there are already 10 buttons. You need to shift the center of gravity of the body in a split second, navigate the turns at the junction of the platforms. There are stepcharts where you have to press simultaneously up to 6 buttons on the pads or sit on the twine to hook the buttons at different ends of the platforms. In general, the most aerobatics that only experienced gymnasts can do.

And a little about modes

In Mix 9, a new mode is marked - World Max. Here is such a large map of the world with the location of missions, they are depicted as glowing circles. Navigation is set by arrows; to select a mission, you need to press the center 2 times. Basically, most of the missions require a lot of greats, hoods, misses or perfents. There are missions where arrows fly from bottom to top and top to bottom.

You can go through missions out of order, but some zones open after the player has gained the required percentage. And there is also such a feature as "barriers", they cover some areas on the map. You can hack them through persistent training. Or, if you are completely unbearable, then buy a barrier in the service's online store.

As for the styles, in "Pump It Up!" there are 2 of them. This is a technical game, when you need to earn more points, and freestyle - demonstration performances, where the dance is assessed first, and only then - how timely the arrows were pressed.

Pros and Cons of "Pump It Up!"

Some gamers note that not all computers run this game. Or it can be loaded in its own way, when for removing simple barriers such as Eraiser 2, Mr. Larpus Freestyle needs such dashing dances that any shaman will simply fall into a stupor with envy. They also note good rhythms and songs at WorldMax, especially in the Special Zone mode. Of course, everyone can test their talents, but it is advisable to start with easy levels in order to adapt to the movements and the level of pressure on the buttons. But those who have achieved good performance on difficult levels can easily light up on any dance floor! Hardly anyone can beat the record.
