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

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.

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.

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! :)

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 :)

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.

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!

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.

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.

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!

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 :)

Very funny game, I like different skins on PNJ :) But a slider to change music volume should be appreciate :)

Well done and very funny game. Its simple to play but gets surprisingly challenging as the conga continues to expand.
