About Tangletail

A dragon dance party game for up to 8 players online, or 16 on a TV with phones as the controllers. Everyone is a dragon on a round festival square: a big dance head with you riding on it, and a long body of fabric humps rolling along behind. Steer anywhere you like. Eat the glowing lanterns and your dragon grows a hump longer. Your head must never touch a body, yours included, or the edge of the square. Every body is a wall, so a long dragon is a trap for everybody else: curl round the others and leave them nowhere to go. Hold BOOST to dash ahead. It costs you humps, and each one drops behind you as a lantern. Out? You become a lion dancer. Lions are slow, but get in front of a dragon and let its head run into you: the dragon is yours, and its rider becomes the lion. After a while every dragon grows by itself, so the square fills up and the round always ends. The last dragon dancing wins the round for whoever rides it. First to three rounds wins. Fewer than four of you? Bots fill the empty spots, unless you turn them off.

TV: the phone is your controller, with the same stick and BOOST. GROW Eat a lantern and your dragon grows a hump. BOOST costs humps: each one drops behind you as a lantern. OUT Your head touching any body, your own included, another head, or the edge of the square: you're out, and your dragon bursts into lanterns. LION DANCERS Out, you dance as a lion. Get in front of a dragon: if its head runs into you, the dragon is yours and its rider becomes the lion. THE SQUARE FILLS UP After a while every dragon grows by itself, so every round ends. WINNING The last dragon dancing wins the round for whoever rides it. First to three rounds wins.
