Conga Master Release Date
London, UK - August 16, in the year of our Lord 2016
- Videogame publisher Rising Star Games today throws on its
dancing shoes and funkiest moves to announce a new partnership
with game development studio Undercoders, bringing the dance
party extravaganza Conga Master to PC and consoles.
The hilarious party arcade game Conga Master sees up to four
players each controlling their chosen party-goer in his or her
quest to create the most epic conga line ever.
Travelling through different nightclub locales during a night to
remember, players will find all manner of dancers with different
styles and personalities. Shimmy up close to entice them with a
successful display of dazzling dancing, and they will join your
line. But, with great conga comes great responsibility, and the
longer the conga, the harder it will be to maintain momentum and
avoid disco downers, like the crotchety custodians or the pigs
in disguise who will try to infiltrate your line and stink up
your party vibe.
Birthed out of the theme-based accelerated game development
event ‘Ludum Dare’, Conga Master is now a fully fleshed-out,
content-packed game in its own right. Conga Master features
extensive local co-op and competitive multiplayer modes for up
to four players as well as a crazy single-player campaign. Don’t
be fooled by the easy-to-learn, simple two-button controls – the
game boasts a wealth of features such as combo systems,
objective-based play, over 30 different characters each with
their own skills and attributes, seven different nightclub
environments, bonus stages, unlockable rewards, online rankings
and ‘endless’ modes, and much more.
“Conga Master has a singleness of vision that glitters and
stands out in today’s gaming space,” said Lee Skittrell,
Marketing Strategist, Rising Star Games. “The game’s heart and
spirit is made of pure unabashed fun; the kind of game that
brings smiles to the faces of players young and old alike,
coupled with a pleasingly peculiar sense of humour. Conga Master
is a shiny and surreal disco-ball glittering over the heads of
our already hugely diverse portfolio of quality titles.”
“All our life we wanted to play a conga dancing game but nobody
would make one... so we had to become developers to fulfil our
dreams,” said David Jaumandreu, CEO of Undercoders. “When we saw
that the jam version of Conga Master was ranked as the top 5
most fun game of Ludum Dare 34 (out of 1,600+ entries!), we knew
we weren’t alone!”
Developed by Undercoders and published by Rising Star Games,
Conga Master will release on September 14 on PC. Console
versions will follow in early 2017.
