Starting with names --

Grug eating our Ox foreshadowed a pretty grisly journey ahead. We stopped at a town or two along the way. And then we came to the terrible realization that the world ahead had been gobbled up by some terrible force --

We made camp a few times out there in the void. And then the human army reached us, and made sure we never saw civilization again.

Anyway, Oregon Trail but goblins is such a mood. I would like to call out the the movement mechanics for hunting -- the circular strafing felt really good to use, and I'm not sure I've seen anything like that before.

I really like the sprites and humor, but I'm left wondering if I'm doing something wrong as I've played through it twice and made it to the end without much of anything happening. For the third game I messed around with hunting and camping, but it seemed pointless. I still enjoyed my time playing this game, especially the unsavory names the random name generator spews out. XD

Thanks for this fun little game! It’s kinda cute, and the naming feature really makes you get attached to the goblins, haha. Great humor, and the gameplay kept me entertained, hehe. I played through without stopping once, and that’s awesome!

This was a trip (literally and figuratively)! I lucked out with my first two journeys, and decided to try and make a stand against the invaders for the third, to no avail. The random name generator made me chuckle, with Mykunt being my winner.
