The World of Belly Dance

The World of Belly Dance is a Belly Dancing video game developed by Hawke Gaming Industries and published by Gamehand Productions. It is based on the dedication of the belly dance community all over the world. Released for the Nintendo Switch and the MAVi.

The World of Belly Dance runs on the GameHand engine, allowing for highly detailed in-game graphics and realistic character models and the Project Belly engine, allowing realistic belly dancing movements, simulation and the entire human female body, meaning no all belly dancer bodies and faces are the same.

Gameplay
The World of Belly Dance features pure and realistic belly dancing gameplay. Photo mode is available, where you can take photos of the divine dancing shots.

Belly Dance Styles
Each dancers in the game is classified under five belly dancing styles: Raqs Sharqi, Raqs Baladi, Tribal Fusion, mixed style or created, each with their own stance, strengths and weaknesses.

Modes
The available game modes are as follows: Quick Dance, Special Dances, Free Dance, Career, Create, Online Belly Dance, and Options.

Career
The game features an in-depth Career Mode, which allows players to take on the life and career of either an existing or created belly dancer.

Players start off as a amatuer, working on house dance studios. Once they garner enough popularity (achieved by getting a high performance level), they would be elevated to Rookie and appear on the world-class belly dancing events around the world.

Career Mode is presented in a calendar format, where the player's progress is shown by a calendar that shows the current date and when they would perform.

Create
The game includes an extensive Create-a-Belly Dancer mode which not only allows the players to create their own belly dancers, but also includes options for editing an existing belly dancer's appearance, profile and moveset, among others. What's interesting about The World of Belly Dance's Create-a-Belly Dancer is allows you to edit the created belly dancer's navel (including options for navel piercings and jewels).

The game includes 20 created belly dancer slots available
