How to attract women - Bounden at E3 2014

The video provides a hands-on look at Bounden, a two-player dancing game designed for mobile devices and showcased at E3 2014. The host explains the core mechanic: players hold the phone between them and move to align a crosshair with rings on a ball, effectively turning body movement into the gameplay. The experience is less about traditional video game action and more about physical coordination, with the on-screen action serving as a cue for two people to move in sync. Demos show how players pair up, calibrate the device, and begin a sequence that blends elements of Twister with ballet as skill improves. The developers collaborated with the Dutch national ballet to choreograph the dances, underscoring that thoughtful movement and timing are central to the experience. The host emphasizes accessibility for couples looking to try new activities together, suggesting Bounden as a playful pathway to getting someone into video games. Overall, the video frames Bounden as a novel, social, and physically engaging concept rather than a traditional PC-centered game, while also noting its mobile requirements and the emphasis on choreography over story or progression.
