Great graphics and cool concept, although I think you can get even more out of it! Keep working on it!

Amazing game, so clever. My only thoughts so far would be to maybe start off with a 1-Player or 2-Player selection screen, to make things a little more clear... And maybe some basics that explain the game step by step until the player gets a better feel for how the game works. The GUI is just a bit cluttered before the game actually starts.

Learning curve is pretty steep, and the responsiveness of the animations and actions is kind of on the sticky side, making it hard to time throwing the goats...

But the concept and execution is brilliant and hilarious. Not to mention that funny music. And it's in a tire. The intire game. Love it. Just needs a little more work.

Many nice ideas in one place, I like the inverted world that turns in a wheel, for a moment thought it is RAMA-style space station, but it is actually a wheel... Well done =)

Nice graphics, the game is really weird, I love it!

Ugh. Another cliched entry into the over-done video game genre of "Running around a tire herding goats away from spiders into wicker-baskets"-em-ups. Come on guys. Be a little less mainstream.

Fun use of the theme

andrewkennedy 2014-12-09 22:10

Loved the art, and the music was really fitting for the game!

I had to play both characters at once so it started to get kind of confusing playing both of them haha.

Nice one :) Goats are great :)

paulloz 2014-12-09 22:12

The game looks great and the pun of the title made me laugh!
There is no azerty option, so I didn't play the two players mode, and the game mechanics were not addictive enough to make me want to score. :(
Congrats on the art style, please make more games with goats!

Ok graphics, and nice idea. I would like to see more organization in instructions and overall game presentation. Maybe split instructions in some form of introduction screen. There are some problems with input x visual feedback also.

poupi 2014-12-09 22:23

I really like the goats. Very nice!

flegmatical 2014-12-09 22:24

Loved the graphics and quirky creativity of it all. I missed a bit tighter control scheme, as it felt a bit sluggish. Adorable goats!

Interesting, with some polish it can be fun,, i tried to eliminate spiders but they seemed invincible (almost 20 hits can't kill one). Goats were too difficult to launch correctly becasue they can't get launch high enough i think.

At my second launch of the game, all entities (player ,spider, goats) weren't on the ground but walking horizontally. It was weird.

buzzjeux 2014-12-09 23:07

Wow loved the art direction and the original mood here.. very amazing work in this short time of dev.. Keep going this good work !

megapiemanphd 2014-12-09 23:16

Graphics are good and I really like the idea of a world within a tire but the gameplay is a bit of a mess.

aflatminerstudios 2014-12-10 00:18

@SoulGame You discovered debug mode. (Congrats!) I've taken it out so others aren't equally confused.

da_kid 2014-12-10 01:31

Nice pun. Seriously, decent little game, although it isn't the most gameplay heavy game this dare. Needs a better combat system, or movement, or something to make the gameplay more interesting.

zkenshin 2014-12-10 02:02

Really neat aesthetic. Stupid giant spiders. :P

monos 2014-12-11 12:58

The concept is interesting, but the realization not so much.
Cool graphic, not a lot for the sprite, but the background is cool

klianc09 2014-12-11 13:00

+1 for helping establishing goats in the gaming industry.
Goats really need more appreciation.

The controls were a little difficult and the hitboxes on the spiders not really obvious. I always kept swinging my door and afterwards sliding into the spiders.

I really liked the artstyle though.

pegigante 2014-12-12 23:45

Crazy idea. I loved it.

ishadow 2014-12-13 12:18

Weird game, but I love IT!

hoqjed 2014-12-14 23:15

Wow, this game sounds quite a lot different than I imagined from the images. Visually it's got this really clean aesthetic, and then the 8-bit chiptune and goat sounds start playing haha.

I ended up liking the game, though the character's jump and goat throwing seemed a bit too floaty to me. The spider's hitboxes were also a bit unclear, since their legs reach out really far... it makes them seem much larger than they really are.

Overall nice job, it's lighthearted and pretty to look at. Good use of the theme also.

waveformmodulations 2014-12-16 15:56

Really like the circular level design.

xanjos 2014-12-18 23:59

Well that was a rather surreal entry. Good take on the theme and it was pretty fun running loops around the tire Sonic style.

depp 2014-12-19 21:38

Beautiful game, but I found it a bit too difficult.

6downstudios 2014-12-20 08:37

Awesome and hilarious! I really love the animation too, really great all around!

sot 2014-12-23 12:20

The concept is brilliant and perfectly matches the theme, i found the controls a little bit confusing though.

mechamew 2014-12-25 17:08

There's a lot to like here! Really funny take on the theme (first tire game I've played out of almost 50 entries!). General mood and feeling is just awesome. I did feel that with just a little more attention to animation this would have been visually excellent - really missed a jump animation. Really enjoyed the "SMACK" when swinging, but bothered that it was inverted when facing the wrong direction. Cool concept, which could play very well, although I found controls a little unresponsive and clunky. Overall a great entry though - hope to see this do well!

mathmadlen 2014-12-28 04:44

Clever interpretation of the theme, great graphics!

jupiter_hadley 2014-12-28 17:34

Really nice graphics, though I find it sort of hard to play. I Included it in part 20 of my Ludum Dare 31 compilation video series, if you would like to check it out :) http://youtu.be/SGfwL84KAH0

zed0 2014-12-29 01:13

I like the graphics, the circular level is pretty neat. :)
