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.

jerrre 2012-12-17 12:29

@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.

dadeyemi 2012-12-17 15:16

really nice concept

ignlg 2012-12-17 15:24

I like the concept and the goat! Lvl 3 here :)

robashton 2012-12-17 15:38

Surreal, certainly one of the more odd ones I've tried so far today

sanderman 2012-12-17 15:40

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

jerrre 2012-12-17 17:20

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

cmaster 2012-12-17 17:52

Bllleerggghhhh!

tumoxep 2012-12-17 17:52

Nice and very funny idea.

lanoiadimuu 2012-12-17 18:09

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 !

jujule 2012-12-17 19:20

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.

frozencow 2012-12-17 19:29

Works fine here (on Linux). Funny concept and it indeed gets annoying after a while (lvl3) :D. Good job ;)

beerman 2012-12-17 21:45

Amusing. I'm not sure the goat is much of a villain though, that band deserve to be interrupted!

aare 2012-12-18 01:07

I like the way this game test reflex.

sonnybone 2012-12-18 09:09

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.

rustybroomhandle 2012-12-18 09:15

Woooh! I played it all the way to the end :D That was fun!

catburton 2012-12-18 11:10

Yay goat! :)

amidos2006 2012-12-18 11:42

LooooL :D that's hilarious I like it :)

bach 2012-12-18 18:53

Funny little entry. I enjoyed it! Gameplay is very basic, but the humour makes up for it.

moomoo112 2012-12-18 20:17

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

zenmumbler 2012-12-18 23:28

Ridiculously funny. Somehow the higher pitch and speed of round 2 made me laugh. A "this is never going to end" feeling. Very good.

tate 2012-12-19 18:58

Hilarious, neat concept, and very original. Nice job

goerp 2012-12-24 15:44

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.

simianlogic 2012-12-24 18:24

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.

mistakoo 2012-12-25 10:27

I couldn't understand how to play even after reading your comments.

infin8 2012-12-28 08:35

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.

madpew 2013-01-01 18:52

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

garygreen 2013-01-02 22:35

That was daft, but good fun. Nice idea. :-)
