Nice puzzler. The conga line split is definitely an eye-twisting feature. Maybe a 2nd control interface for the 2nd line would allow for quicker progression.

Peculiar concept! Being able to split line is a unique feature. Arts look good as well. Good job!

Something went wrong and...I thought the basic idea was really cool and creative, but I really wished there was an undo function - on some of the longer levels I felt good about making progress on one part, only to realize that I had trapped some people in a different part, which was a little frustrating. In general, the game seems to reward trial and error to discover configurations that work, and I enjoyed that aspect, but I didn't enjoy having to restart from the beginning every time I got stuck (I eventually gave up on the 5th or 6th level I think).
Overall, this was a really interesting idea and I could see this being an awesome puzzle game with a few tweaks!

Doodlebug IslandThis was super fun! It felt like a re-imagination of snake with a puzzle element. This is one of the more creative submissions I've seen and I think it fits the theme perfectly. Well done!

We're Drifting ApartI thought it was going to be very easy until the first split puzzle. Clever mechanic, I can't think of else anything like it.

Dumbbell (GMTK 2021)I love this game. It's very difficult but the puzzle mechanic is excellent and the premise is very funny. Like what was said below, a rewind button will really be the icing on the cake.

Helm's OddityVery interesting puzzle mechanic. Though very difficult at times (I found the first split puzzle to be way harder than the second one and gave up on the third).
Might benefit from a reverse function, pretty frustrating to make a wrong move and be stuck/have a person die and having to start over again for large level(s). At the very least a faster reload would be awesome.
Great game overall!

The Secret and Mystic Dwarf CongaInteresting puzzle game that has huge potential to explore it's design space further. At the moment, I got frustrated at the split puzzle and lost patience (sadly :() so could not finish it. Maybe not let the player decide where the cut the line, but just have two lines in play at start? In either case, it's hard to design great puzzles. Do I admire your efforts.

Club CongaAwesome presentation, funny vibes, clever concept. I'm just really bad at it!

Bonds of SteelThis is actually an amazing game. Its simple, but not simplistic. Its complex, but not complicated. "Snake meets Portal" is a good way to put it, and I felt some of the puzzles were a little mind-bending. The music, theme, and art are all on-point in a great way.
Some of the difficulty spikes were hard to reach, though. The level with the first switch is also the first level where you have to split your Conga line was rough the first few times I went through it.
