Hahaha cute game ;) You made me laught. Good goat sound effect ;) It's kinda hard to kill all the ennemy but interesting gameplay anyway !

naufr4g0 2013-08-27 05:22

Game is fun in the first minutes. Later it becomes impossible to fend off enemies. Anyway I really like different actions! :)

lcass 2013-08-27 18:07

how fun!

canobie 2013-08-27 18:09

Very fun... and funny. Good work!

xgor 2013-08-27 18:20

It felt almost impossible to kill any enemies.... It felt that my dash worked 33% of the time.

@archaeometrician & naufr4g0: Yes, I added nearly all the waves in the last hours and wasn't able to play-test it enough, so it's really hard to win. But I rebalanced the difficulty in the Post-compo version.

@Xgor: The dash only gives a sudden speed burst that you lose very fast again. And the damage you deal depends on your speed at impact.
Therefore: the faster you can smash the dash button, the faster you go and the more damage you deal.

(In the Post-Compo version you can also hold the dash-button to run faster, but it's still not as fast as rapidly smashing the dash-button)

I appreciate the digestive accuracy, though I wish the goat poop could be used to damage or dissuade the enemy!

lzavsek 2013-08-27 22:11

At first, I was confused since I only thought dash was used to go fast. Had to look in the comments to figure out that it's used to hit them! Haha. Overall, it was very silly and pretty fun. Difficult to kill the flying crows, though.

i liked the goat stuff, but that was about it -- funny concept tho -- nice effort

wintermute 2013-08-27 22:46

Awesome when played with a friend. Really made me feel like being a goat. But yes, the flying enemies are too hard to kill!

diptoman 2013-08-28 12:52

That was fun!
Like others said, enemies are a tad bit too hard though. :S

euske 2013-08-28 13:42

Both links didn't work for me?

jhollands 2013-08-28 13:48

Great fun. Upgrades would be hilarious.

klianc09 2013-08-28 14:00

@euske: Strange, they work for me and everyone else. Did the server not respond or something?

@JHollands: Yeah, Powerups had been planned in the original brainstorming, but time-constraints and stuff...
But I will certainly implement them in the Post-Compo version sometime in the next weeks.

super awesome
goat tower is the best title

h_double 2013-08-28 23:44

I couldn't figure out if I was supposed to be able to kill enemies, but goats own and I had fun running around doing goat stuff. Well done!

terra 2013-08-29 06:49

Goats, hell yeah! :D I enjoyed head-butting things very much.

lopiky1 2013-08-29 11:56

very fun good job :D

tanser 2013-08-29 12:36

Love the idea!

ashdnazg 2013-08-29 12:45

Now that I've had the opportunity of being a goat I can die in peace. :D

haxpor 2013-08-30 12:21

I can't download the game, it's say something about server problem and the website directs to ads-page.

klianc09 2013-08-30 17:04

@everyone who has troubles downloading: I put up a mirror on dropbox, hoping that they are more reliable.

So if downloading it didn't work for you, try the mirror.

antidote 2013-08-31 21:01

Lol played with 2 players, kinda fun xD Wish it was easier to kill the enemies

ratalaika 2013-09-01 10:24

good job

gaspard_ 2013-09-03 15:42

Yeah it was hard, and I didn't care about that at all to!
Nice idea!

zconnelly13 2013-09-03 19:11

lol, goats.

manuq 2013-09-03 19:22

The mirror works, the other URL gave me a corrupted file.

manuq 2013-09-03 19:23

The authentic goat controls were great :) I wished the poo was useful to attack your enemies. Or it is and I didn't figure out how to use it?

theholychicken 2013-09-05 10:24

Haha I am very amused...
It would be great if the enemies could be easier to steamroll though. That would make this even more epic.
Also the goat poop should really be a special attack XD

crueltear 2013-09-14 23:05

Really funny game. Simple, but humor and fun is highlight of this game.

kddekadenz 2013-09-15 16:37

Cool idea, but poorly polished. The sounds are annoying (especially the ones in the main menu). The pixelart is good, but may use more "funnier" colors. The difficulty really needs to be more balanced, the singleplayer mode is too hard.

tobiasw 2013-09-15 19:30

That game has everything that I expect from a goat defense game: Making the sounds that goats make, shitting on enemies, muching delightful grass, holding down flying enemies with my weight and walking on clouds.

No seriously, the gameplay was good, but it was those fun touches that made the game great, haha. And it's super cool that you added a co-op mode, pity I don't have a friend near!

bradleysmith 2013-09-16 21:31

I love the way the goat shits. xD
