NOTE: Because of the Theme tie, we allowed everyone to pick either Theme. Using both was optional. To keep things simple, there will still only be one Theme category. Every category in Ludum Dare voting is an opinion, so you’re welcome to rate them as you see fit. But we encourage you to be fair in your scores to people that chose only one Theme, and not both.

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.

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.
Really fun and very innovative. I loved the animations on the game too :D
Hey !
Nice game ! I like the humor and the mood of the game :). Art and sound are really good too
Nice work men
Yeah SAMBA! Hugs from Rio de Janeiro M8! That made me smile a lot!
Really fun game, the idea is really great and everything is well done! Awesome job guys !
What could possibly go wrong! :D Really fun and positive. The characters are hilarious, good job guys!
I loved it!
Super fun and simply adorable. One of the most enjoyable LD games I've played so far, amazing job :)
What an amazing game! Pretty hard though, I only got up to 22 conga-ers. Very addicting and nice graphics!
Very funny and creative game! I really liked the music and the humor of the game. I wish the player's movements were a little faster.
Wow, really loved your game, possible the best one I've played yet. Congratulations, fellas!
Damn! This one made me laugh in real life, maybe the best one so far. Such a vibe to it.
This was hilarious! It has a great feel and vibe, but gameplay could use some more depth.
Great job guys.
Awesome game! A fun twist on the Snake idea. Great pixel art as well.
LOL! Great work! Really funny! I love the music.
Thanks for the feedback on Parallax too. We will work more on the project, specially on enemy IA.
This game turns you on on a second! Good job on the mood. With a few elements you make a lot on screen, not bad at all! :)
That game is genius ! Well done ! Now, I need to dance ! Woooohooooo !
I loved it! The music choice was genius and the game is so fun! :D Good job.
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)
I love it! Really funny game. The humor and mood are really nice. Next time you can try with this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODKTITUPusM :D
We've been coding with that in loop :D

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!
Very funny, I was singing the song all the time that I was playing. CONGA!
One of my favorites games so far!!! SO MUCH FUN!!! XD SAMBA!!!!
One of my favourites so far. Not because of the great mechanics but because it's creative, funny and pretty well produced.
Now I know what I'll be dancing in the new year! "What can possibly go wrong?" :D
Excellent music and animations !
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 :)
Fantastic game, you know how to put two themes together! The game is fun, animations so cute. Great job!
¡Simplemente me encanta! Gran implementación de "dos controles" y "creciendo". Una idea divertidísima muy bien ejecutada. Enhorabuena!
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.
Such a great little game! The graphics are very good and the sound is fitting... I need Holidays! :-)
Very well done!
Perfect 5 here. You've nailed it in every category, and the game looks and feels awesome. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some more conga to dance.
¡Enhorabuena! :D
Well that was innovative :D One of the most hilariously unexpected games of this jam! Also I love how you integrated 2 button controls scheme in the menus. 5/5 keep up the good work!
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!
Super fun game! I lol'd very high when I understoo dwhat I had to do! =DDD
Very innovative idea! The music is awesome and the pixel art is great! Congrats guys!
What a great, funny and unice game! Scores in all categories!
NICE ONE! already addicted to the funky music. Nice Art... wall to wall a good funny little game.
What could possibly go wrong?... absolutely nothing
Really enjoyed this one. All the aspects just seemed to come together for me. It's fun just seeing the big snake of people forming behind you.
Loved it! Loved the graphics (and music). I'm assuming the music isn't yours because I can't rate on the audio but it was good. Very funny too. Awesome job guys! c:
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.
This is the most fun games so far, great audio and graphics
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.
JODER COMO MIERDAS JUEGO ESTO!!!(LO DIGO EN EL SENTIDO) DONDE COÑO JUEGO ESTO
DISCULPEN ,ALGUIEN ME PUEDE DECIR COMO DEMONIOS JUEGO ESTO????

Mini Submission FAQ
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
CAN I ENTER BOTH EVENTS?: You should pick 1 event, whichever you think it’ll do better in. If the idea is strong, and everything plays well enough, you can go Compo. If you’re a perfectionist, and would prefer people to play a more polished game, do the Jam. Historically, more games are entered in the Compo, but with more people and more time, Jam games have the potential to be better (that doesn’t mean they are). Many solo participants do enter the Jam.
If you made 2 games, unfortunately, the website doesn’t support multiple submissions per user. To submit your 2nd game, you will have to make a 2nd account. Only do this if you made 2 games. Alternatively, if one game is better than the other, then consider just entering the better game.
CAN I KEEP WORKING UNTIL THE DEADLINE?: Yes! Immediately after the 48 or 72 hours, we do something called Submission Hour. As the name suggests, it’s an extra hour for you to package, upload, and submit your games. If there were catastrophic issues trying submitting your game, or you misunderstood how submissions work, that’s okay. It happens. We’re flexible. If you need advice, check with the folks on IRC. If you need an admin, get in touch.
CAN I KEEP WORKING ON MY GAME?: Oh definitely! You should! But for the sake of judging, keep the Compo or Jam version around. You can include a link to the Post-Compo/Post-Jam version of your game on your games page, but sure your main links are the original version.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate at least 20 games to improve your visibility (Coolness).
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crashes, win condition, or tiny bugs after the deadline. In a sense, this is like “porting” to support more players. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just fixing mistakes you should have caught had you been better rested.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up. Alternatively, if you just posted it, wait a minute. The cache may not have refreshed yet.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
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!
