Bounden
Bounden is Game Oven’s award-winning, whimsical mobile dancing game for two players, with choreography by the Dutch National Ballet.
Holding either end of a device, you tilt the device around a virtual sphere following a path of rings. You swing your arms and twist your body, and before you know it, you are already dancing.
