Steps to fun

“Dance Mela”, a mass multiplayer online dance game


Kreeda Games, an online mass-multiplayer games company, launched the country’s first mass-multiplayer online dance game – Dance Mela. As the name suggests, Dance Mela is a pure song and dance game with the latest Bollywood and internation al music tracks and all the coolest dance moves programmed in. Players get to select and customise their 3D avatars, with which they can chat, socialise, shop and dance with friends or take on people across India live.

3D animated game

The mela will run on low end machines and won’t need high Internet connection speeds and can also be played on dial-up connections. Being a 3D animated game, the basic requirement is the instalment of a graphic card. It is easy even for first-timers, whether male or female across all ages. In fact, it even offers beginners dance classes where dance masters guide them through the steps. After a few classes, they will be ready to join the dancing rooms. This is where they will meet other dancers and it’s a great opportunity to interact with new people. Soon they will move to foot stomping numbers. All dancers will either compete with one another or in a Boys vs. Girls competition or in various other contests.

The basic idea to play the game is to match scrolling arrows that’ll appear on the screen once the song starts with the corresponding fixed arrows on top. Matching the arrows enables you to keep dancing. Missing them will reduce your life bar and you may have to stop even before the song does. So the gamers need to try to get their timing right. The game can also be played through a dance mat, which will be connected to the computer taking the game out of the PC and making it an interactive exercise and fun machine.

Dance mela is a free download game which can be downloaded from www.dancemela.com One can also purchase the Game CD from the leading retail stores or can be played in the various cyber outlets.
