Gameplay
's main mode, players primarily play as a girl and must press buttons in accordance to the ones displayed on the screen in order to dance. While dancing, the girl's mother will occasionally enter the room and result in a game over if the player continues dancing. To avoid the game over, players must stop dancing when the mother enters the room. The game features 10 different songs the player can dance to, with each song having 3 different difficulty settings.
After clearing songs, players receive in-game coins, which can be used in a gashapon machine to unlock new songs and characters to play as. The game has a multiplayer mode, which supports up to two players.
Development
Hide & Dance! , consisting solely of its founder, the Tokyo-based Yuusaku Ishimoto. Hide & Dance! has a similar art style to other hap inc.

Reception
Hide & Dance! was generally praised by critics, being rated 4/5 by GameZebo and 7/10 by Pure Nintendo. Maria Alexander of GameZebo described the game as a "slight but hugely endearing rhythm action title"; Pure Nintendo's Trevour Gould described it as "short on gameplay but big on smiles" and also thought that it's more fun to watch other people play the game than playing it oneself. Masanori Mokudai covered the mobile releases in an article for 4Gamer.net, in which he described it as "surprisingly solid".
Maria Alexander of GameZebo praised the game's controls as "intuitive." Alexander thought that the "hiding" mechanic was "confusing" at first, but stated that it soon became "second nature." Gould stated that it's "hard not to crack a smile" while watching other people play the game. Gould also compared the game to the rhythm video game series Dance Dance Revolution, while Alexander compared it to Nintendo's WarioWare series.
