Oh, it's a hidden gem!

The music's really good, which is the primary concern of a rhythm game so no concerns there. The timing of the steps takes some getting used to for mastering but it's easy enough once you do. They add mechanics every level and while most of them are superfluous like the bombs and lasers, some will make you watch when you step like the fight commands and the final one, which I won't spoil but it is foreshadowed pretty early on which is neat, you don't see mechanics get foreshadowed often.

The story is standard old movie fare so you can see every aspect coming but it seems to be based on a real couple related to the creators, which is a nice touch and explains the photographic artstyle. One really nice story gameplay integration (or ludo-narrative dissonance as the hip kids call it these days) moment comes in the middle of the story that when you see it, you'll know what I mean, and it's really nice. More of these come up later in the form of a mechanic, which that one was a bit more frustrating with the timing than I'd have liked, but the idea was novel.

You can also turn off all difficulty if you like but come on the game's easy and really short as it is.

All in all, this is a hidden gem and I do recommend it to any rhythm game or tango lovers looking for an hour of fun.
