"Look whos back!" Loved the idea and humour, had a great laugh. Visuals where great and loved the animation! :D

It's a very cohesive product, everything fits together and the game is very charming. Surprisingly engaging for such a silly concept. Also a very creative take on the theme. Very well done.

Wierd and nice concept , the goblin looks cute

rmrvar 2022-04-06 06:24

I very much enjoyed this game. The only issue is that I was not so much delaying the inevitable as I was speedrunning the inevitable.

@rmrvar You couldn't say no to your inner goblin desires! :japanese_goblin:

wonderful concept, loved the goblin design and music especially

adam-gallina 2022-04-06 06:38

I really enjoyed playing this - I cracked up when I noticed that the sprite was actually turning into a goblin, overall a pretty funny experience

goblin mode

Wacky concepts like this are the best in game jams, good job, I had fun.

I like the bumping text! :laughing:

Really had a hard time keep throwing coins into the well just to make sure I have enough time to explore around LOL

Nice little game! Hurts my finger though!

fun little game, gg :)

Press 'p' to piss bed? 10/10.

ratstail91 2022-04-06 13:05

I is a goblin! Mwahahaha!

Very funny, and enjoyable. Also, I held out for 420 seconds, which was even funnier.

phoenixofforce 2022-04-06 13:27

Haha, that was fun. I loved that the sprite change the more goblin you become. And there should've been more options to de-goblin-fy yourself. Other than that, well done :)

I could be working on shoes for the rest of my life or stab the goblin-phobes and piss on their bed. Noone can use shoes anyway if they are dead so I guess it's all good. Funny game!

ankea 2022-04-06 16:04

I loved it! The struggle with my inner self is real. The day time job in shoe factory made control my inner demon, But i fall in love in pissing in beds, stabbing people, eating trash. And i realized when i grow old i want be a goblin not overworked shoe maker. <3

I liked the cute art presented in the game, it kind of gave me that "programmer art" vibe. I think the concept was neat, although it felt more about speedrunning to become a goblin than to not become one. One thing I would change is pressing the "E" button to interact. It feels awkward when I'm both holding the WASD keys and pressing "E" at the same time. Maybe the "space" button will be better. Overall, you did a good job making this game.

miguel-pignatiello 2022-04-06 17:00

i love to see compo games with this kind of art. Sketchy as it is, it solves all the matter about visual solutions

flawed-gamer 2022-04-06 20:02

The game was great but I feel like someone would be able to just sit inside and read forever to get top time. Does the goblin progression get faster or is there maybe a limit to how many actions you can do?

anchry 2022-04-06 20:10

I said yes to goblin and stabbed the towns people, i have no regrets. 10/10 game

alexascher 2022-04-06 20:14

A lovely little game and a cautionary tale. Great job!

cosmicallity 2022-04-06 20:49

@flawed-gamer If they can resist digging through the wonder-filled trash for that long they deserve the high score!

(But yeah you're right I added a score feature in like the last 15 mins before uploading. Also, pro gamer tip, your goblin meter goes down most when making shoes!)

substain 2022-04-07 10:19

I like the premise of the game, also, is it bad that I rather did the stuff that filled the meter?

darwyn 2022-04-07 18:06

Fun to play, nice idea

pierogo 2022-04-07 22:12

i have stomped on all the crops 10/10

It was a fun little thing, the silly graphics have their charm and overall it was entertaining to play.

Sad there aren't some more things to do though, nor a proper ending - I think those would really wrap the game up.

cyzaine 2022-04-09 00:46

This was a nice surprise! Wasn't quite sure what to expect but it was weirdly compelling and had a ton of charm. Audio was fitting and fun. And I do appreciate being forced to actually read the interaction prompts.

I'll second the person who said I'd have liked an ending! I'm invested a bit in our poor cobblers plight!

zimny11 2022-04-09 15:13

Nice game! Game: resist Goblin urges. Me: immediately starts scratching wall and peeing in a bed, mhhh... I think I'm doing something wrong XD Nice art style. I really like the music. Good job with the game.

kitkii 2022-04-11 22:11

Why do goblins have to be bad :( the cute art of all the goblins in the cave was nice. I don't know if there was an actual ending since I was given an item I thought maybe there was. I do wish there was more to do but for a game jam this was a nice enough game that deserves praise.

eggshelldog 2022-04-16 07:59

life is hard, work is hard. The goblin life style is much easier. why should I resist! love this type of game, graphic is not that good, the gameplay will be more smooth if the obstacle hitbox is not that weird. However, other than that, this is good entry and I enjoyed it! I love stupid game, wish there are more content!
