Violent Goat

Congrats on your first entry! I liked the goat and the enemy model. Like you wrote in your description there were some bugs like jumping against a wall and being stuck to it.

The dialogue also wasn't easily readable; When it was displayed it often disappeared before I could completely read it. Maybe making it so that the text has a minimum amount of time it has to be displayed before it disappears, even when leaving the original text area.

I am looking forward to your following entry in **LD39**!

Okay the game is not perfect, but it is a simple and okay fun platform game. And yes the game have some bugs, but nearly all LD game has bugs. The graphics is okay, and the background graphics is pretty good. The music is a bit strange, but i like it. Overall a great first LD game.

As someone who has experienced some difficulties with the jump mechanism in the past, I loved how smooth your jump felt!

Nice way to start Your ludum dare participation! The game is quite good overall, goat seemed to stuck in one place or another which kinda lost most of my HP but gj on entry. Gl in future LD's!

Quite a cool game! Good sense of humor. Probably the biggest issue was that the collisions felt broken, getting stuck into enemies and walls was incredibly easy. Other then that, good job! I hope you participate in the next Ludum Dare :)

Hey Mate! It's also my 1st Ludum, don't worry about the result we will be better haha. I liked yor game, such a funny one! Don't worry bout the bugs, keep working! Also feel free to have a look to my game: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/emojixy-wars. :smiley:

That is a really good entry for a first LD game! I just didn't see any connection with the theme... Anyways, really proud of you mate ;) here's my entry: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/fixville

Could you perhaps make a mac version? Either that or maybe upload a gameplay video. I'm interested to check your game out.

Hey good job on your first Ludum Dare. It was my first this year as well!

I liked the game; it was simple and easy to understand, which is great. I also liked the music and the design in regards to the artwork. My only real gripe was my tendancy to get stuck in the walls, but I'm sure that can be fixed in future.

Overall great job! Hope you enjoyed yourself.

"Why I am a goat?" hahaha. Enjoyable game although the bugs :)

good-enough 2017-04-29 00:31

Lol, this is really funny to play, I love the sonic leap function!

matoux42 2017-04-29 13:47

Very fun idea, but I don't really see the connection with "Small World" theme.

Maybe you could have done a 2D game : gameplay wouldn't be affected, and some bugs would be more easy to prevent.

slimabob 2017-05-01 01:02

Haha nice. Great humor, and I really liked the music! One issue I had was getting stuck on platforms pretty frequently. All in all, great work for 48 hrs! :)

Here's my entry if you wouldn't mind giving some feedback: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/dr-m-littles-planet-mass-overdrive

Interesting..... hmmmm

jdmazz 2017-05-01 02:29

This was pretty good. I thought why is there a shoot button for the goat. Next thing you know a little text thing saying exactly that. Liked the humor.

morrilet 2017-05-01 02:35

I enjoyed this on the whole. My biggest issue with it was that the dialogue obscured the platforms quite a bit. Aside from that and some totally expected LD-style bugs, it was a solid game. Nice work!

Cheers!

Seemed a little glitchy with the collision. A decent platformer, really nailing the humor.

internetpaulicy 2017-05-01 03:56

I would like to know what happens to the goat in the end? What is this place and who are these robots ;)

vkmicro 2017-05-01 04:32

straight up hilarious xD i got a good giggle out of this game :D cheers. I gotta admit i really liked the lighting, very good lighting, and I liked the little story and narration going on, gave it a very nice feel. All in all it's simple and fun platformer. Only one serious criticism I'd have is (besides animations, but nobody expects perfect graphics made within 48 hours :D haha) the only real criticism I have is sound, i honestly think the sound doesn't fit the game, needs something fast paced and pumping, a little techno like would fit better in my opinion. I also wish the enemies had sounds while shooting.

I'd like to see a WebGL Version. Downloading is a bit of a pain. I think this is a good first LD Attempt though! Things that need fixing: The jump often gets me caught on the world geometry, and the lack of an HP bar means I get killed had no idea I was so close to death.

wheerd 2017-05-01 06:15

Very nice for a first entry! The goat looks nice and I like the atmosphere. The jumping feels smooth, except for when you get stuck at walls :smile: I don't like the mechanic with the limited ammo. Because I missed which key was shooting on the first text box, I tried to figure it out by pressing every button. Overall, a good game with some nice humor :D

cogcomp 2017-05-01 07:54

Loved the goat. An excellent first entry! Congratulations!

jaytord 2017-05-01 08:20

Nice models, gameplay is also ok, but game itself is very short and is not theme-related. Well, I believe you are aware of cons, but making something completed (half games doesn't really have that :P) is also good result for 1st LD game.

jk5000 2017-05-01 08:33

I have now also rated your game.

blaster391 2017-05-01 08:42

Great first entry to an LD. Even though the game world itself was fairly smaller, it seemed like you had the mechanics and concept down. It's a impressive effort for a first try, with only a couple of bugs that I had stumbled across (falling down the elevator shaft got me stuck)

The graphics for the goat and robot were impressive, and the fact you made a full 3d scene including pretty good lighting were nice touches. For an extra level of polish it might have been cool to get sound effects for when the goat shoots, and when you get hit.

Also as other people have mentioned the text disappearing was also a problem, although I only really noticed it with the first text (execpt it was the controls so not ideal!)

Overall I really enjoyed playing, hope you enter future events :D

rik-thunder 2017-05-01 10:13

for a first entry it was not half bad. diod you rig and skin the model yourself? o.o

tommyflower 2017-05-01 10:47

I think the idea was potentially a lot of fun. I'd just add more humor to it!

c0nst4ntin 2017-05-01 11:00

Hey, I like the game. I think it is good for your first entry. I had onejump where I could just not get over but hey. Also maybe check out my entry. https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/38/timmy-and-the-snowflake

dayvidmoreira7 2017-05-01 20:02

Hehehe funny game, and it's beautiful too!

brainy-beard 2017-05-02 08:12

Jumping out of the level at the end was a reward for me :P, Ai is pretty nice, maybe more complex AI in future, make it less of a parkour challenge, goat model looks nice too.

nick-bota 2017-05-04 14:50

Amazing first entry! You made a very fun platformer in just 48 hours and it was in 3D as well which is an insane amount of work, great player and enemy model, the platforms, walls and environment props also look great. It's really easy to control the player, the movement and jumping feels smooth and that's a great achievement, the problem with being stuck to the wall is no biggie it can be solved by just changing the material on the collider in Unity so I don't even consider that a problem. I also like the humor and the idea of the game, the music felt a little off but that's just me nitpicking. Overall the best compo I've played so far, would love to see you participate in the future and make great games! PS.: oh yeah and put some screenshots in the description and a cover image you could attract a lot more attention that way!

bendoescs 2017-05-08 02:55

For a first entry that was pretty good. The game had lots of humour and I enjoyed it alot!

2017-06-08 18:09

Nice little story! I included it in my Ludum Dare 38 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knRl6LSzZ9c
