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 Simple gameplay that has depth
Easy to pickup but leaves space for your own tactics. This means anyone can get accustomed to the gameplay quickly while still having room to learn new tactics, so it won't get boring fast.
Pro Convenient realtime turnbased multiplayer
Doesn't matter if your friend is online right now, you can still challenge them in a match of Time Tower, as each player takes individual turns, meaning each can play at their own pace.
