You didn't have any "actual gameplay" but it still made me laugh. Wish you would have done more than a single battle, or given the player enough health so they have time to choose all of the options.

The wasn't a lot of content but I guess if you made it in 4 hours that's to be expected. I thought it was a funny satire about the perspective of those rpg goblins.
Are you supposed to be able to advance beyond the first enemy?
In any case, I like your pretty fun use of a (admittedly difficult/bad) theme.
Yeah...I wish I had had the time to do more with this too. There was definitely a lot more flair and polish that I wanted to add, but after making 6 other games, ranging from platformer to rpg, I just didn't have the time.
I felt for the poor goblin.
No real gameplay 1/10
This feels a little underdeveloped.
Some animation for the battle actions would bring the whole experience up a whole star.
I had fun with this little game! Was pretty funny.
Pretty cute game, makes a decent use of the theme. With more time I think the jokes could have really been jam packed in there.
Congrats on the (however short) entry!
Delightful game. I'm with you on the theme, but I'm holding out hope that there are some unique interpretations out there.
Nice little take on a trope but not too much of a game.
Nice music and humour. I think we should all learn from this game and stop discriminating against goblins for the colour of their shoes.
That's the perfect resume of every rpg
It lacked content, but the audio was charming and I laughed when I first saw the combat menu. You even had a circle wipe! The low rating is only because it doesn't really seem to be a game.
As others have pointed out, it isn't so much a game. But the music is nice and it made me laugh, so good effort anyway :)
RIP indeed.
Also, your embed code breaks out of the frame and, somehow, prevents you from going back in the browser. I had to go search for this game again in order to review it.
That's... so... sad :( Poor goblin :(
I liked this one even if there was no actual gameplay.
Chin up!
It's very funny , has a great mood. It is kinda short but you got in 4 hours. Would love to see what the goblin would do with 10 hp haha.
Cool game! RIP.
Very sparse gameplay.
More of an animated short than a game, sorry the theme didn't inspire you!
I liked the music, I didn't like dying! Good start!
@razavidn Yeah...it was intended to show the incredibly short lifespan of the average monster in an RPG.
@patvanmackelberg Nobody likes dying, and yet RPG players around the world are basically committing genocide against slimes, goblins, and various other peon class monsters every day
I liked this overall, it didn't have much gameplay but mine didn't either due to time restrictions like you, I did have fun watching the whole thing playing out though, I thought this was an interesting take on the theme as well even if you didn't like it that is, I liked the cute art style and the nice music, it was REALLY funny though, obviously with such a short game the mood wasn't great but overall I did enjoy watching it rather than playing it, hopefully you like the theme next time, well done anyways.
Very sad, but true. Cool retro style and cool 8bit music.
You are absolutely right, your game and description is a perfect way to express the feelings I had during this LD. I rated you accordingly, not for the game of course, but for the idea behind your whole compo. We need more people like you.
nice
This is basically every goblin ever
@Azlen Yup, you get it :D
Art was nice and the options were pretty funny, but it didn't seem possible to win (maybe I'm just bad at it). Lacking in content but still pretty good.
Really sad. Fin. RIP. Very cinematic ending. :(
Oh noes. Poor goblin. :(
Was confused at first but then I finally got the joke. Pretty funny and impressive for 4 hours.
I never want to kill goblins in Final Fantasy again.
Not gameplay, but I laughed. :D
Very Good , I can imagine this turning into a wonderful Complete game :D
HAHA This was funny!
True that dialog!
"See? that's why aliens won't talk to us!"
;-; RIP
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Nice, short little game.
Too bad you did not have much time to improve it. 4 hours is really short
Yes you mirror my exact thoughts on this theme! :) Also your entry is spookingly similar to one of the ideas I scrapped ... Thanks for actually doing it!
