Error when trying to run :(

I added a runnable version you can download. Hope it works.

Fun

The goat is free and the spell has removed! haha!
But a bit clunky :-(

Good game, but controls could be better. It's very uncomfortable to have left clikc shoot always in one direction no matter where you click.

Pretty good. I felt a sense of achievement when advancing up a level. I did quite poor, and got to level 5, by the way. :P
For criticism, I'd say aiming was quite difficult (aiming towards the mouse cursor would have been better), and was it possible to dodge their sprint attack? If so, I never managed it. :P

Nice concept, but I miss an intro that explains the story. It works, but I find the controls very hard and unclear. I tried several times, but I only once completed level 2. I missed a 'try again'-button, now I had to restart every time.
Nice way to fit the goat in the story.

@sev_inf - you can say it was the point, or else it would be too easy.
@Pixelbear - it is posible, since they are very fast, it take them longer to turn, so you can dodge by turning in the last second.
@DiningPhilosopher - yeah sorry about that, didn't have enough time for the intro and restart.

It definitely could use mouse aiming. Like, being able to aim without moving. It's alright though.

Fun game. Only notes are that with the mouse fire it felt like I should be able to mouse aim, and the unstoppable attack from the hero felt cheap.

Frustrating: you should be able to shoot in any direction. This gets quickly annoying quickly, which is a shame because this could have been fun otherwise.

vladp 2012-12-21 14:43

"should" - really? can you look in any direction without turning around?

jonnopon3000 2012-12-22 20:22

Not a bad entry - actually fun to play with some replay value, but a little tweaking of the enemies' abilities might've made it a great game. Good job overall! Can't comment on the audio as my device is currently broken, and I got a score of 10 :P

The game is really difficult, and I'm not sure if in a good way. Definitely requires some investment on the player's part, which might be difficult to expect from most people playing Ludum Dare games!

I did enjoy it though : )
