Pros
Pro Fun core concept centered around movement
Bounden makes for quite a strange title wherein the players both hold the device in order to try and make a ball follow particular movements on the device. This creates a situation where the players are basically dancing while playing. A bit like a 2 player Twister game with constant movement.
Pro Smart design that uses choreography of ballet
The design of the game was made to mimic the choreography of Dutch ballet. This makes for quite an original concept for a game as well as shows how well thought out the design is.
Pro Great classical music that's specifically composed for Bounden
The high quality music was composed explicitly for this game.
Pro Has a total of 7 dances
There are six dances plus one only released on Android.
Pro Easy control
Both players only have a single button to play, this allows for easy control and less buttons/fingers covering the screen.
Pro Cheating the system
If you and/or your friend don't like the idea of only playing 1 game a day then set the phone's date to a different day and the game can be played again. You can also use micro battles 2 and 3 as a 2nd and 3rd minigame if you can't change your phone's date.
Cons
Con Increased risk of dropping the phone
With the amount of movement needed while two people hold the device, there is an increased chance of someone dropping it. This could damage the device, if dropped.
Con Can not be played without another player
There is no single player mode as the whole design of the game is centered around two players using a singular device.
Con Hard soccer buttons
This game features four different games. The soccer game is actually very hard to control with only two buttons for two people. I mean, how can you shoot a ball with two soccer players rotating and press the button to run and kick the ball. Seriously.
