You are Barry, father of the bride, at the wedding of Kevin and Denise. The speeches are over, the buffet is open and DJ Dave has put on a record. Somebody has to start the conga, and it is going to be you.
It’s Snake crossed with a rhythm game. Steer the conga round the light-up dance floor, dance through the guests to add them to the line, and press A on every fourth beat to kick. The room shouts HEY, and a long streak doubles and then trebles your points. Don’t go off the floor, into a table or into your own conga. Uncle Derek is in the red suit. He is not to be collected. The night ends at midnight, when the taxis come.
- Four records to dance to, including “Last Bus to Nuneaton” by Los Nuneatons
- About three minutes a night, and DJ Dave speeds up as the room fills
- A Top Table of your five best nights, kept in the browser
- An Audio Sync setting, so the kick matches your speakers or headphones
- Keyboard, gamepad or touch: the on-screen buttons appear on phones and tablets
It comes from Orbit Leisure, a small British software house that has been “publishing” games since 1983. The rest of the catalogue, including some ZX Spectrum games, is on our itch.io page and at orbit-leisure.co.uk.
Any feedback is very welcome, especially on the kick timing and how it plays on phones.
