  • Floor Kids offers a unique and creative rhythm game experience that encourages freestyle dancing and personal expression.
  • The hand-drawn art style and soundtrack by Kid Koala are both praised for their quality and ability to enhance the overall vibe of the game.
  • The gameplay is fun and engaging, with a variety of characters and moves that keep players entertained and allow for multiple playthroughs.
  • The game is relatively short, with many players completing it in just a couple of hours, leading to concerns about its value for the price.
  • Some mechanics, such as the scoring system and power moves, can be unintuitive or inconsistent, which may frustrate players.
  • There is a lack of depth and additional content, such as online multiplayer or character customization, which could enhance the overall experience.
  • music
    51 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game, primarily composed by Kid Koala, is praised for its hip-hop vibe and engaging beats, making it a fitting backdrop for the rhythm-based gameplay. While many players appreciate the soundtrack's originality and the fun it brings, some note that the song structures can become repetitive and suggest the inclusion of more varied compositions. Overall, the music enhances the game's aesthetic and is a significant draw for fans of rhythm games and hip-hop culture.

    • “The soundtrack is provided by the incredible Kid Koala, who I've listened to for a long time, while the animation by Jon Jon is sketchy and captures the youthful vibes the game is going for.”
    • “This is old school hip hop at its absolute best, and with renowned beat pioneer Kid Koala, who has an impressive pedigree working with greats such as Deltron 3030, behind the wheel here on the soundtrack with a whopping 40-track collection of funky-fresh spinning, scratching, sampling, and loops, it's no wonder why the whole thing is so pleasing to the ears and impossible not to groove to while playing.”
    • “The music and sounds are done by Kid Koala; they are very easy to follow, fun to listen to, and an excellent fit for this game.”
    • “The music is decent, but I feel like for a rhythm-based game it could have been better. It's understandable considering that it is an indie game.”
    • “Kid Koala's soundtrack for the game is alright, although the obvious template for the songs (the same BPM range, the same structure of freestyle dance verses and scripted tap-rhythm choruses) reveals itself to be too repetitive when you look at it as a whole.”
    • “Taking all of this into account, the soundtrack, as an element to fuel the gameplay, does its job, but doesn't go above and beyond.”
  • gameplay
    26 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is centered around a music game campaign where players face off against established competitors, utilizing a variety of dance styles and mechanics to create stylish moves. While the game offers a fun and engaging experience with its catchy soundtrack and delightful animations, some mechanics can feel counterintuitive, and the overall gameplay may lack depth and motivation for players. Despite its simplicity and short playtime, the game is enjoyable for fans of rhythm games, though some may find the price point a bit high for the content offered.

    • “The gameplay is surprisingly technical as you can employ a variety of authentic dancing styles, varying speed and intensity to pull off stylish moves and dunk on the opponent.”
    • “The hand-drawn animations are delightful and suit the dynamic gameplay, and the tracks are catchy and support the dance routines very well.”
    • “Floor Kids more than re-sparks my interest in the toe-tapping, head-nodding gameplay of rhythm gaming with a much broader and more engaging system that trusts you to choreograph the action with no limits outside of your own creative styling.”
    • “Sadly, the gameplay isn't very engaging - there's no motivation to pull off specific moves; it all runs on creativity and freestyling, which may work in front of an audience, but by yourself, it just feels like spinning the wheels for the sake of it.”
    • “It's just unfortunate that some of the mechanics don't promote more variety, and the story is so barebones and dull.”
    • “Upfront: the game is very short and will only last you probably about 2 hours of playtime, depending on how fast you figure out the hidden mechanics.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of "Floor Kids" are characterized by a charming rough-sketch art style that effectively captures the essence of street culture and breakdancing, setting it apart from typical rhythm games. The hand-drawn visuals are praised for their ability to convey motion and personality, complemented by humorous and well-designed artwork that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the unique aesthetic, which, along with the fantastic music, creates an engaging and satisfying gameplay atmosphere.

    • “There's a host of varied characters to play, the hand-drawn art style perfectly captures the motion in a way that pixel art would never have done; and above all else it just feels really satisfying to pull out a sick combo.”
    • “Floor kids sports some charming, humorous and cute hand-drawn artwork for the groups of bboys and bgirls grooving to the beat.”
    • “The aesthetic truly captures the street culture that led to the inception of breakdancing, and the simplicity of the game makes it great for short fun bursts of play.”
    • “Floor Kids sports some charming, humorous, and cute hand-drawn artwork for the groups of bboys and bgirls grooving to the beat.”
    • “The gameplay is fun and the music on offer is great, but what really impressed me is the aesthetic design.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story mode is criticized for being short and lacking depth, with reviewers noting that it fails to capitalize on the potential for a creative narrative set in a dance-themed cartoon world. Many feel that the story is barebones and dull, with missed opportunities for engaging cutscenes and variety in gameplay. Additionally, technical issues, such as glitches affecting power moves, further detract from the overall experience.

    • “They could have come up with a neat story involving dance in this cartoon world, with a huge amount of possibilities, and they could have had a small cutscene after each performance.”
    • “It's definitely short considering the price, but the weakest part is by far the story.”
    • “It is definitely short considering the price, but the weakest part is by far the story.”
    • “They could have come up with a neat story involving dance in this cartoon world, huge amount of possibilities, and they could have had a small cutscene after each performance or so.”
    • “It's just unfortunate that some of the mechanics don't promote more variety and the story is so barebones and dull.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The optimization aspect of the game is criticized for encouraging repetitive gameplay, as players are incentivized to cycle through moves for bonus points rather than engaging with a deeper narrative or experience. Reviewers suggest that the game could have benefited from a more cohesive story and additional cutscenes to enhance player engagement.

    • “Players are rewarded bonus points for performing each move for the first time during a performance, which exclusively serves to encourage players to cycle through all their moves to earn a one-time bonus for each.”
    • “Players are rewarded bonus points for performing each move for the first time during a performance, which exclusively serves to encourage players to just cycle through all their moves to get the one-time bonus for each.”
    • “They could have come up with a neat story involving dance in this cartoon world, a huge amount of possibilities, and they could have had a small cutscene after each performance or so.”
  • humor
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The humor in Floor Kids is conveyed through its charming and cute hand-drawn artwork, which adds a playful touch to the lively scenes of bboys and bgirls dancing to the music.

    • “Floor Kids sports some charming, humorous, and cute hand-drawn artwork for the groups of b-boys and b-girls grooving to the beat.”
