Conga Master by BubsyPoochies

[raw]
made by BubsyPoochies for LD34 (JAM)
Conga Master, a two button growing game developed for LudumDare34!

****Description****

Come on, shake your body baby, do the conga, I know you can't control yourself any longer!

Can you get everyone in the Secret Flamingo Dance Club to join you in the ultimate conga? Get everybody dancing to the rhythm of your hips and make the longest conga mankind has ever seen... are you up to the Final Conga challenge?

Don't bump on dancers or they will get annoyed and... beware of stinky pigs disguised as cool clubbers! If your conga stinks, you will lose momentum!


****Controls****

A: Steer left
S: Steer Right
A&S: Turbo Conga


****How to Play****

Dance near other people to gain their attention and trigger their Conga Meter. After a while, they will join your awesome conga and it will become even more awesome.

Your momentum will decrease if you don't get new members to join your conga. But congas are hungry for new dancers, so the larger your conga, the more dancers it will require to keep up the momentum!

Don't bump on people or they will become annoyed and will refuse to join you!

Avoid Pigs in disguise! They look cool, but they stink and will make you lose momentum if they get in your conga!


****Information****

Game Made using Unity by David Jaumandreu (@DavidJaumandreu), Miguel Murat (@Xanday), Xavi Peña (@Xavier_PF) and Xavi Heras (@XaviHeras). Awesome music by Juanitos.

Really fun game! Love the idea of cogna based snake-like.
Managed to get to 19 before I lost. Stupid pig ruined my run!
Great job, guys!

Hey guys!

Thought this was pretty hilarious. Music was very catchy and the art was cool.

I think mechanics lacked a bit of depth, the game didn't feel that fun to play or challenging. I thought once I got more people it would become quite hard to move around, but I got 12 people to follow me and it didn't feel that hard.

I liked the feel of the game, moving around the disco, with the catchy tunes and people clapping. It just needs to be a bit more challenging.

Great job! :)

Music was very catchy! Thoroughly enjoyed it, however I thought that sometimes it maybe took a tad bit too much time to get others to join the line.

What an amazing game! Pretty hard though, I only got up to 22 conga-ers. Very addicting and nice graphics!

This was hilarious! It has a great feel and vibe, but gameplay could use some more depth.
Great job guys.

Great game! Loved the whole disco/conga theme. Animations look totally rad.
If I would have to suggest anything it would be to speed the game up a bit. The start of a round can feel a bit slow, especially when you play the game more than once.

Didn't work in fullscreen for me unfortunately (Windows)

Aw, man... the world needs more games about conga.

This was so much fun just seeing the little guys doing the conga. There were so many different people with their own moves and all...

I found it somehow just ended after a while, as there wasn't too much feedback when you did wrong (the pigs look so cool I wanted all of them to join my conga).

Great job!

One of my favourites so far. Not because of the great mechanics but because it's creative, funny and pretty well produced.

This was incredible, I was sitting like an idiot smiling and chuckling to myself the whole time.

Also have to point out I love how you show what the movement mechanic is when you're picking who to play as before the actual game even starts, it's a small detail but it's genius. I'm looking forward to your future games :)

Just impossible stop smiling meanwhile you play this game! Very funny and...definitely I'll be a conga master for the new year! And I love the music, I can't get it out of my head!
I like the pig too, although it can destroy the conga but who cares, it's so cool.

Many thanks for all the comments and feedback! We're really thankful you took the time to create some congas ;) Some of the features we had thought of had to be left behind due to the time restriction, but we decided to keep the conga project alive to make a more complete version :D Big thanks!

Amazing game! Music is super catchy and it is very addictive. I found that if you bump into a table you can keep your conga line still and attract all of the nearby dancers. I wonder whether you should penalize the player for doing this by draining momentum faster? Definitely one of my favourites so far!

The only thing I can't understand is why you wouldn't want to have pigs in the conga. But seriously well made game. Took me a try before I figured out how to circle people to lure them into the line. There might be a need for some tweaking though to make it perfect as a game because it was really hard (if not impossible) to come back from capturing a pig. It could also be interesting if the entire conga helped draw people near but that the momentum was dropping faster the longer the conga got.

Nice remix of snake, and a great take on the theme! I think some refinements on the obstacles would help keep you on your toes as you conga for glory.
