Screenshots

We've all dreamed of The World's Longest Conga Line®

Now you can have it. With our state-of-the-art technology, we've managed to realise that dream in unimaginably realistic visual fidelity. I mean, just take a look at the screenshots. You probably thought they were photos at first, but you were wrong.

That's okay. We're here to help.

Why?

That's enough out of you. Eat your dinner.

Will there be sequels?

Very fun, but a little bit laggy.
P.S. Nice music :D

King Conga was very delightful. Really enjoyed the art and the music, and the concept. I can't want to see future titles such as "Michael Crichton's Conga" about the murderous apes in the Congo who can only be stopped by their love of dance and Tim Curry's sesame cakes.

An fun new take on snake, but with dope music. Love it.

RetroBarbare7 Oct 2019, 20:39

A very great game , the best game if you need to be in a dancing move

Nobongo7 Oct 2019, 20:39

Fun stuff!
I played on the web version, which started to lag when I got a bigger conga line, but it was still playable so I had fun. Funny concept with funny little dancing and music to match.

Cute -- love the music and art!

I loved the way that the camera slowly goes far away! Lovely game

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback!

We're aware of the lag in the web version! Unfortunately we ran out of time to optimise as well as we'd have liked!
We recommend downloading the executable for a smoother experience! :)

This is very uplifting ! Event with the game lagging on my computer, I enjoyed leading my conga line, great job !

Lucien Catonnet8 Oct 2019, 21:01

Hilarious game! The graphics are really cute and it gets the point across even if the characters and animations are simplistic! I love the mood and the general idea, congratulations on shipping this game! Bonus points for your communication around the game which also made me laugh :)

Linheha8 Oct 2019, 21:13

This is so funny and so cute: the animations of the dancers along the music work so well x)
Also this is the funniest game description haha

This is a hilarious concept, and it's a fresh take on Snake! Really enjoyed how this played and handled. The wide turn radius combined with the continuous speed increases really makes handling the conga line an intense and skillful exercise. I also like how the camera zooms out as you pick up more people. And of course the graphics and music really add to the overall feel of this game.
Nice job!

Feeling the snake vibes from this.

GuitarBro9 Oct 2019, 06:26

Nice take on the snake genre (is that a thing?). The animations are simple but have a nice cartoony quality to them that works great with the conga theme. Framerate is a bit low on the WebGL version here but still playable. My biggest suggestion would be to add something a bit more interesting the longer you play since the game kinda stagnated. Overall, not bad, though!

Mungo_9 Oct 2019, 06:42

Nice comedic game! I could see this doing well on a mobile store if it were polished up a little bit. In the WebGL version there seems to be a bug where the esc key causes the game to crash.

elHombreBanana9 Oct 2019, 06:45

I love that all people are so static, without any sort of animations, yet everything feels so alive just with the conga flip they do.

As everyone says, performance is an issue in WebGL, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.

Also, it's pretty easy to beat your highscore if you just conga around in circles in one of the open areas. Maybe the conga length should have more meaning between plays instead of the score based on conga length and time?

Anyway, congrats on your entry!

It is very fun to play and challenging to master. There is some frame drops when line gets bigger so turning becomes tricky. But it is almost finished game and very good looking one. Impressive job to fit this game in small time.

Falu9 Oct 2019, 07:58

It's like snake, except with conga! It was great fun and the music was very cheerful. I wished the music would restart maybe when you died, or if there was some sort of SFX or VFX for when you crashed into walls so that game over would register better. Love the bright colors and concept. Good job!

zanzavar9 Oct 2019, 08:58

Nice! I liked the music and the paper people. Perhaps a little more tightness when turning as i could not turn fast enough when i progressed in the game. A solid entry :)

omg this was so much fun to play!
