Conga Line

A crowd-recruiting arcade prototype I conceived on Paladin's Ideation Team: a line of followers mimics your every move to solve puzzles and clear platforming.

The story

The idea started simple — a line of followers that copy the leader's exact steps. My bet was that managing this snake-like crowd would be satisfying on its own.

I prototyped pathfinding and follower formations, but the direction really clicked when I added a tiny sine-wave bob to the followers as they moved. That little dance is where the game found its identity — and its name.
