Conga Planet Guide – How to Make Big Loops, Best Powers and Every Boss
Conga Planet is a free 3D arcade game for your browser and phone. You lead a conga line of cute critters around tiny planets. Whenever your leader crosses its own trail, the loop snaps shut, and every monster inside turns into gems. Easy to pick up, tricky to master: this guide shows how to make big, safe loops and how to beat each planet’s boss.
How capturing works
- Your leader leaves a trail, and your critters follow it.
- Close a loop by crossing your own trail. Every monster inside is captured and drops gems (XP).
- Bigger lines make bigger loops. Rescue lost critters to grow your conga line.
- Hold boost (left click, Space or Shift; the BOOST button on mobile) to speed up. Boost drains stamina, which refills when you let go.
Each gem you collect fills your XP bar. Every level lets you pick one of three powers.
Which monsters are dangerous
Not every monster can hurt your line:
| Monster | Breaks your line? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blob | No | Wanders slowly. Free loops |
| Mini | No | Small and fast, chases you |
| Splitter | No | Big jelly that wanders |
| Spitter | No | Shoots from range, so loop it quickly |
| Chaser | Yes | Fast and red, charges at you |
| Spiky | Yes | Eats into your trail |
| Dasher | Yes | Sudden dashes |
| Armored | Yes | Takes 2 captures to defeat |
Soft monsters just bounce off your critters. The four knock monsters break your conga line when they hit it. Circle them from a distance, and never let them cross the middle of your line.
The 15 powers
| Power | Effect (per level) | Max |
|---|---|---|
| Zoomies | Move 10% faster | 5 |
| Long Conga | +4 trail length for bigger loops | 5 |
| Gem Magnet | +60% pickup radius | 5 |
| Big Heart | +1 max heart, heal 1 | 3 |
| Loop Quake | Loops send out a shockwave | 5 |
| Spark Pals | Followers zap nearby foes | 5 |
| Honey Trail | Foes touching your trail are slowed | 3 |
| Brave Pals | +20% chance your pals resist knocks | 4 |
| Shiny Gems | +25% XP from gems | 5 |
| Critter Call | More lost critters appear | 3 |
| Loop Lightning | Loops zap extra foes | 5 |
| Turbo Tummy | Boost recharges 35% faster | 4 |
| Hug Loop | Looping enough foes at once heals 1 heart | 3 |
| Frosty Pulse | Freezes nearby foes every few seconds | 4 |
| Party Time | Big loops spawn new critter pals | 3 |
Best early picks: Long Conga (bigger loops right away), Gem Magnet (more XP, so more powers) and Brave Pals (protects you from knock monsters).
Best late picks: Loop Lightning and Loop Quake clear everything near your loop, and Hug Loop keeps you alive during the boss.
Bosses
The boss arrives at 2:30 on every planet. A boss isn’t captured in one loop: every loop around it deals one hit, so loop it again and again while dodging its attacks and its minions.
| Planet | Boss | Loops to defeat | Attacks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mochi Meadow | King Goo | 6 | Slam, summons blobs |
| Candy Cove | Gummy Queen | 7 | Slam, summons minis, bullet burst |
| Sunny Dunes | Sandy Crusher | 8 | Charge, slam, summons dashers |
| Frosty Peak | Yeti Bloop | 9 | Slam, bullet burst, summons armored |
| Lava Land | Magma Golem | 10 | Burst, slam, summons spitters, charge |
| Cosmic Garden | Void Eye | 12 | Burst, summons chasers, charge, slam |
Boss tips:
- Each loop deals 1 damage and stuns the boss for about 1.6 seconds. Use the stun to start your next loop right away.
- Loop Quake makes each boss loop deal 25% more damage. Spark Pals, Loop Lightning and Loop Quake’s shockwave only do 15% of their normal damage to bosses, so loops are what really count.
- Watch for the slam and charge warnings. Boost away, then circle back while the boss recovers. A long line from Long Conga lets you loop a boss without getting close.
Shop upgrades (permanent)
Coins from each run buy permanent upgrades:
- Extra Heart: +1 starting heart (up to 2). Buy first.
- Head Start: +2 starting followers per level, so you make bigger loops from the first second.
- Wisdom (+10% XP) and Piggy Bank (+10% coins) speed up everything else.
- Lucky Clover: +1 power reroll per run.
- Quick Feet, Magnetism and Big Lungs (+15% boost stamina) are good once the above are bought.
Each level costs a bit under twice as much as the previous one.
Leaders
Unlock 9 leaders, each with its own trail colour: Pip the Chick (free), Mochi Kitty (400), Hopper (700), Bun Bun (1,000), Honey Bear (1,500), Waddles (2,200), Foxy (3,000), Rexy (4,200) and Sparkle the unicorn (6,000). Leaders are cosmetic, so spend on shop upgrades first if you want to go further.
Quick tips
- Daily gifts grow from 50 to 500 coins over 7 days. Open the game every day.
- Endless mode is the best way to chase a high score once you know a planet.
- On a phone, drag anywhere to steer. You don’t need to keep your finger on the leader.
