Icehot dance off is a map where two teams try to out dance each other. Every couple seconds, units are released into the dance floor. They are regular units that try to kill each other, however, each unit has a name attached to it. Players can type in names to make them dance. Or they can type in units from the opposing team to stun them.
Every unit will only dance for several seconds, the players must type in their names again to make them dance. Units will naturally try to kill each other, but dancing units cannot be targeted by other units. Stunned units can be targeted and killed.
When units dance, they earn points. There's a score bar at the top of the screen revealing how close each team is close to winning. You want to fill up that bar for your team to win the dance off.
Later on, units with 2 names and 3 names will appear. The ultralisk dancers have 3 names. Some names are more difficult to type than others, however ultralisk dancers will cause a couple nearby allies to dance as well. 2 and 3 names dancers give out more points.
Special abilities will appear every once a while. The first few special units are just fruits. Type in the name of the fruit earns a random point for your team. Other special abilities include 'freeze enemy team' or 'fireball attack'. Be the first to type in the special phrase to earn that ability for yourself. There's lots special abilities included in the map.
Looks pretty neat. I would suggest more colors and flashing and when you get a name the score goes from the unit to the top where it counts it all up. =D Ice could use flashing colors to, to keep it pumping. Just suggestions though.
Sandround, did I just see cats in the video? From where did you imported cat models, could you please tell me? I want soo much to have a cat custom critter ... xD

Make ICE bar color more "ice" :)
agreed 100%
But looks good!
Niceee, you could also tint the color of the dancing hologram doodad according ice or hot in the lead.
Could you guys stop making games where you type stuff. Nobody wants to play typing games on B.net.
Seriously
These are some great ideas, and will add them in. And will make the ice bar more icy. :)

@TheHolyArk: Go
The cats are imports from World of Warcraft.
Umm...NWW got really popular. If you don't like it then just don't play it.
Also good idea.
