Kind of works in Linux, though think it might be a little buggy. You cant quite it at end game either, had to kill java off.
Funny idea, but not sure if I was playing it right, or if it was just buggy on Linux.

Somehow psychedelic and a game experience I definitely never expected to have.
@oakbox, thanks for testing, quiting should be possible so it might run buggy on linux, do you have an other machine you can test it on to see if it is different there?
@bemmu
haha i will take that as a compliment!
I like the concept and love the graphics but in the end the music annoys as much as it annoys the goat :( Couldn't finish it.
really nice concept
I like the concept and the goat! Lvl 3 here :)
Surreal, certainly one of the more odd ones I've tried so far today
Love the concept, but I think the implementation can be a bit improved.
For me it was very hard to guesstimate the best time to start holding my breath for a full bar, so the game degraded in just choking continually and only releasing on a bar.
Of course, it may also be Working as Designed... :p
Thanks All!
@sanderman
I will not spoil all, but if you follow the rhythm of the music you may find the best start time easier
Bllleerggghhhh!
Nice and very funny idea.
I got to L4 by just pressing space randomly. I loved how the lights and sun worked as timer. I don't see how a bleating goat could be a villain.
Still I found this game pretty humorous to play.
All right, this game was kinda weird, but not in a bad way. Its a nice idea I guess, but I don't like how the bar works. It took me until level 2 to realize that you can only make noise when the outside of the Breath-o-meter is green. Also, the goat doesn't really seem like a villain to me, but that might just be me. The graphics, music, and sounds go together really well, and add to the strange, trippy, early 90's Nickelodeon feel I get from this. Its really amusing, but unfortunately it wears of quickly, due to the game being repetitive. All in all, its a pretty okay game, it just doesn't really fit the theme well (even the sub-theme seems a bit forced...). If you were to continue this, you'd probably need to add more substance to it, because as of now, it feels like a Wario-Ware micro-game at best, and a cruddy flash game at worst.
Didn't expected it but laught really hard by playing your game. Great fun !
It was quite fun, I love the humor and the overall atmosphere but it is too repetitive for my own taste.
Congratulations for producing something playable in one day for your first LD, though.
Works fine here (on Linux). Funny concept and it indeed gets annoying after a while (lvl3) :D. Good job ;)
Amusing. I'm not sure the goat is much of a villain though, that band deserve to be interrupted!
I like the way this game test reflex.
This is hilarious. Does it just go on forever? I got to the point where you have to be completely perfect every single time or you lose, so I'm guessing that's either the last level or it just ramps up in difficulty into infinity. Nice timing, too. Games like this with questionable timing are never fun, but you nailed it.
Woooh! I played it all the way to the end :D That was fun!
Yay goat! :)
LooooL :D that's hilarious I like it :)
Funny little entry. I enjoyed it! Gameplay is very basic, but the humour makes up for it.
rather odd, controls were a bit confusing at the start
without reading the instructions I thought the goat was blacking out from the music instead of nightfall
Ridiculously funny. Somehow the higher pitch and speed of round 2 made me laugh. A "this is never going to end" feeling. Very good.
Hilarious, neat concept, and very original. Nice job
Haha funny!
The music gets more frantic every level which I like. The goat looks seriously peeved.
There was some graphical corruption (a blinking yellow rectangle in the center). Somehow a lot of Java programs dont work properly with me (Java 6 up to date on a wondows XP32 bits).
I enjoyed this.
Love the sound effects and the music. I wish there was more consistent feedback--it seems like the "goal" of the breath changes every breath but, but it's pretty hard to time.
I couldn't understand how to play even after reading your comments.
Nice concept. The instrcutions are kinda vague though, i just worked on using the bar turning green as a yardstick and managed to get to lvl 3. When it gets too dark, its almost unplayable though, since you cant seen any UI at all.
Wow I really didn't expect that. Made it to level 8. Needs another twist to make it more interesting. loved the voice-acting :D
That was daft, but good fun. Nice idea. :-)
