Haha I love the theme. I never thought I would have to seduce a goat. I was not able to finish the story tho. After goat confessed he "liked me a lot", dialog disappers. Captura de Tela (123).png

@vickperico Sorry about that bug! We actually just caught and fixed it. If you're willing to try again the itch.io page now has v1_2 which should no longer do that. Either way, thanks for playing our game!!
i couldn't goat the game to continue after the third time in the field but boy do i feel charmed and into goats right now! this is a TON of polish for the amount of time oyu had. Way to go!
I had a game breaking bug! It was in the field after I decided that wooing Goat was becoming enjoyable and I was falling in love. I enjoyed what I played up to that point. What a great concept.
@swanijam and @danman9914 Thanks for telling us! I believe we have fixed it and there is a new Post-Jam version live on itch.io.
Turns out testing branching narratives in 72 hours is harder than we thought. Thank you for the feedback!
Very funny game! Love the visual novel style and the jokes were great too. Keep up the good work.
NOOOOOOO!!! it was just getting good, and she had to go!! :sob:
the mastermind puzzles weren't well explained, but i knew them already so it was a fun refreshing break from the average match 3 dating sim minigame
played on the post-jam version and there was an occasional glitch where a mastermind square was supposed to be green but it was red instead.
The UI looks very nice, the backgrounds are great too, and although the story feels a bit rushed it was still very enjoyable. I love goats and I am sad Goat had to die. He seemed good. :(
I too couldn't get passed a point where the dialogue disappeared, and I was SO INVESTED!
I don't say this lightly, but GREAT job! It has some issues, but what can you do with branching path storylines?
My partner and I were extremely charmed by the idea!
Well, I had a bug where the dialogue disappeared as well. I hope you manage to fix that. If you do, I'd love to try your game again !
Fantastic interpretation of the theme, love it! G.O.A.T
Hilarious, and now I have legitimate feelings for a virtual goat. The church/comedy club scenes didn't feel crazy necessary, but the writing for the main plot was really the hallmark. Loved it!
I really enjoyed playing your game ! The UI is nice and so are the graphics. Sound design is cool too, but I suppose that you didn't had the time to put sound everywhere in the game (maybe later ?). As I'm not very familliar with dating sim' I didn't really understood if there was a link between the mini games and the rest of the story. Still a nice moment for me :D
This!! \o/
Great presentation guys! It has the 3 Ws (warm, weird, wtf?!) vibes that made me like something like Hatoful Boyfriend so much. Considering how short it is, you actually get to care enough (and more than I'd expect) about Goat to feel something at the end.
The puzzle mechanics kinda felt generic and out of place, but that doesn't matter. Their role is to keep the flow of the game not too linear, which is something that helps avoid getting the player tired from repetition. Though that probably isn't an issue with such a short game, the bare fact that it is there shows the dev knows how these games play and what makes them good, which is definitely a plus to me.
Anyway, I laughed, I felt sorry and I enjoyed it. So to me, this is a win o/
I don't even know what to say about this... 5/5.
I've been excited for this since I saw a blog post of the title screen during the jam. I gotta say, in the places that do have audio, it's absolutely phenomenal - but overall, there's a lot of silence that leaves me feeling empty, and while I can't blame you for not having enough time to make a tutorial for the minigame, I'm unfamiliar with the Mastermind board game. It was intuitive enough to figure out that red = wrong spot and green = right spot, but I have no idea what the yellow squares I got meant, as I only encountered thoseo n I believe day 2. (Having a counter for what day you're on would have been helpful storytelling wise, as the days are so short and I feel like I spent more than a week with Goat before God took them from me.)
It would also be nice if there was a return to menu or restart button on the endings, or at least on the one I got - I'm not inclined to hunt for endings right now when I have to close and restart the .exe for each one of them, but I might play it for fun later just to see what else there is and if I can figure out better strategies for that minigame.
Overall, very strong visuals and concept, and great that there were options for text speed and music! A bit out of place in contrast to how much dead silence there was, though, and it seemed to me that text was put up instantaneously anyway, so either the speed slider is too sensitive since I wasn't even close to maxed out on it, or it's just an aesthetic slider that does nothing but look cool. I'd love to see this as a full visual novel in the future. I'm not really sure if I'd play it myself, since visual novels aren't generally my cup of tea to play, but I'd definitely watch some Let's Plays of it.
I have never been so emotionally invested in a goat before. When I hit a bug (using the non-fixed version) on my first playthrough, I was devastated. I downloaded the fixed version and played through 5 more times until I saved my darling Goat. Love is real. :heart: :goat:
The concept and writing are of course where the game shines. The visuals and minigame are satisfactory to support the story. Overall a very strong LD game. Nicely done!
Not usually a story heavy game kind of person but by the end I loved that goat. Great style and all around awesome work.
Hilarious, my first dating sim and I really enjoyed it.
Very well written, especially for a weekend! Now I feel like I need a full length goat dating sim. I actually didn't hit any bugs despite playing the earlier game version. I actually enjoyed the Mastermind like mini-game, but obviously that needs more polish. Only thing that bugged me a little is the lack of contrast in the text and text background. Overall very charming game!
I absolutely love this game. The presentation is so charming, with the sparkling cursor and peppy pink, and the story is adorable and silly. The mini-games were fun to do once you figure out how they work, especially since they reward you with more dialogue options. The game as a whole was a unique idea! ^_^
Now I wanna meet goats at my local cafe!
Goat and I shall love and live forever in the afterlife!
Also: God is a dick
Would have loved a bit more audio. A color scheme explanation for the minigame would have been nice. (had to look up the description / hints) Minigame got better after that.
