Controls don't respond very well but I like the art and the concept!

pupi 2018-12-04 02:49

Art is amazing and would a be a really good game for phone. It gets a bit heavy without audio and stuff but overall it's really cool!

steven-pinto 2018-12-04 02:49

fun concept, and nicely executed. Enjoyed playing your game. The movements were a little laggy to times, other than that all good. Great art.

Feel free to check out our game as well.

Hi @pupi ! If you play the download version you will hear the music and sounds :)

2018-12-04 02:51

Like the concept, maybe a bit to easy at some points. Not being able to hold an input key down isn't that great. Kinda funny either way.

orcifried 2018-12-04 02:54

I really like your game's feel and the concepts behind the mecahnics!

trifectuh 2018-12-04 02:56

Well done. The art and concept are great. Like the mechanics that get thrown in as well. Wish the arrow keys responded more readily though, as that made it kind of a chore to play. Great job overall.

pez 2018-12-04 02:56

This was fun & I love the art! Only thing that was a little annoying was it not registering my key presses in quick succession. I wanted to go through as fast as poss!

goatboatgames 2018-12-04 02:58

Something odd with the controls, but amazing game otherwise. Charming and full of content, 10/10.

vodish 2018-12-04 02:58

The art is really nice! Too bad there's no music, it can get a bit boring without it, and the control are not really responsive. Still enjoyed it :)

vasco-borges 2018-12-04 03:00

Hi @vodish ! There's sound in the download version. Really sorry for the inconvenience :(

joseph-manley 2018-12-04 03:03

I really like the look of your game. It also has a very solid puzzle game concept. I was sad to run out of levels!

zaicuch 2018-12-04 03:11

Awesome game! with music would be just perfect! i love it

vasco-borges 2018-12-04 03:13

hey there @zaicuch ! The download version does contain music, would really love to have your feedback in case you give it a listen :)

walterp 2018-12-04 03:15

Wow, awesome art animation and music. Simple design but gets complicated once you add in more mechanics. Keep up the great work!!

sandpile 2018-12-04 03:21

Fun game! I was gonna point out the cute artstyle but the game kinda did a 180. I could play this for a long time.

Around lv 30 or something the game broke for me, sadly. The level where the pig uses the teleporter for the first time. After I went into the Sacrifice spot, the game didn't load a new level, and I could control an invisible sheep. The UI didn't show up for that level, either.

avi 2018-12-04 03:47

Cool game! Really fun and innovative concept :D

gao-ming 2018-12-04 03:49

Very fun. The graphics are beautiful. Great work!

fattori 2018-12-04 03:53

man, the art got me, such a nice minimalistic pixel art :)

pukami 2018-12-04 03:54

Beautiful pixel animation! Also, the goat on the title screen is very cute, haha. I liked the variety of levels and obstacles, but I do think that the controls can be more responsive as well :)

rafael-lontra 2018-12-04 04:02

I laughed! Great way of playing with goat sacrifice :) Maybe with some polishing in the controls and level design this would be a mobile hit! Congrats!!

Feel free to check our game as well, we sacrifice cultists! MUAHAHAHA

Really nice execution. Looks really good, nice audio, simple yet effective. The visual cues are great and the difficulty rise nicely through the game. Great job !

taikuri 2018-12-04 04:22

Great game! Controls could freak out at times, but no issues really other than that. Very cute art and I love the SFX. Super impressive for a jam!

captaincorgistan 2018-12-04 12:16

Nice Pixels! Looks really good and interesting!

dino-jr 2018-12-04 12:21

God damn beauty GOAT!!!

mumboo 2018-12-04 12:29

Nice graphics and concept. But controls looks a little bit laggs. Anyway, very nice game, great job, guys! :)

lluismg 2018-12-04 12:33

Best game I have played so far. Really nice puzzles and amazing art. The controls were a bit unresponsive, but amazing game otherwise.

suchista 2018-12-04 12:53

Controls work terribly, but everything else is very well made! And there's so much content

amigopadilha 2018-12-04 13:13

Loved the game, nice work! It would be nicer if the controls worked a little bit faster, but the game came out pretty fun!

Great job

deathbysnail 2018-12-04 13:32

Fantastic job, kept hitting directions perhaps a tad too soon (if this could be tighter it'd be perfect!). Got all the way through, nice one.

mateusboga 2018-12-04 18:18

Great work! Really nice pixel art and everything is really well put together. Great take on the theme! I like how you can skip levels, thats something I don't see everyday in games.

limitless 2018-12-04 20:25

Good graphics and music!

tintreiro 2018-12-04 21:41

best game I've tested!! Nice Sprites and Animations! I managed to turn my goat into Satan. 666

nikolsannn 2018-12-04 21:50

Nice music and good puzzles!

arcling 2018-12-05 06:08

My favorite puzzle game this Ludum Dare. The aesthetic and mechanics make this game a delight to play.

gerardb 2018-12-05 13:13

Great great stuff! Love the art and the overall concept of the game.

My only complain, as many others mentioned are the cotnrols that can be a bit funky at times.

But congrats on your game!

jens-steenmetz 2018-12-05 13:33

Nice concept, beautiful pixel art and good music! I really like it. There are two things I would improve: - The responsiveness (shouldn't be too hard, but would improve the experience. It gets frustrating after a while if you have to press an arrow key multiple times before the character moves) - More difficult levels. There are A LOT of levels, and I would have loved to play all of them, but when I was at level 30, there still wasn't much difficulty, which made me lose interest. Overall, good game though!

Really nice entry! It has a very cute and endearing charm with the goat trying to sacrifice itself theming, and it's overall nice and well paced. I got to the end going through all of the 32 levels. :goat:

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the others and say that the controls are really the only thing holding the game back. There were some levels where the controls were spot-on, and others were where I had to smash the arrow keys about 5 times each in order to move (and sometimes I was able to move beyond the map as well). If you could fix those issues, then the game would be one of the best games on the jam I've played so far!

The graphics and sprites were really captivating as well and I like the complete change of themes at mid-point and later on with the hell levels! Music was really nice as well, although I think the track at the final levels might have gotten just a little too bit heavy compared to how smooth the first two tracks were.

Like I said, if the controls were fixed, it'd be spot-on. On [behalf of our team](https://discord.whalesandgames.com), thank you for this entry and we look forward to seeing more from you!

Great game and good pacing on introducing new mechanics. Feels very polished other than the controls.

peachtreeoath 2018-12-10 06:41

Very pleasant game to experience, both in terms of graphics and music. The animations were solid especially when the sacrifice happens. I have to say the game is quite easy. Even in the double digits the levels were generally pretty obvious how to approach them, so I'd say don't be afraid to up the ante sooner for the players. Pretty good puzzler nonetheless and I'm impressed how many levels you packed into this. Did you just have 1 teammate knocking out levels the whole time?

Small note, the main menu doesn't scale well with ultra-widescreen and I couldn't see the buttons to start the game until I dropped the rez to a more normal one:

Neat puzzler! I included it in my compilation video series of games from the Ludum Dare, if you’d like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/kK0cQutPhIg

falak 2018-12-21 17:03

Great art! Cool concept! I like this! I found one place, it was level 24 on X3 and Y1 square, I went up and I was out of the map! Well done! Good luck!
