Top Goat's itch.io pageJudge feedback
Judge feedback is anonymous.
- Top Goat is an interesting and entertaining platformer with a fun central mechanic. I especially enjoyed the ram feature. The sliding on the icy mountain path added an extra layer of challenge that felt grounded in reality, which was a nice touch and helped tie it together. Unfortunately, I struggled to progress past the first group interaction. On several occasions, I got stuck between four goats pushing from all directions, leaving me completely trapped. In other attempts, multiple goats pushed me out of bounds. This just means that I was not the top goat, which is fine. The music was fitting and helped support the lighthearted tone of the game. However, I would have loved to hear sound effects when colliding with other goats. It would add a layer of feedback and make the interactions feel more impactful. Your GDD includes all the essential elements but could benefit from more detail and visual support. Including images or GIFs to demonstrate key mechanics would enhance the clarity of your design intentions. Overall, Top Goat is a fun concept with charm and potential. I’ll definitely be coming back for another round!

Summarize your game!
The game is simple - move with WASD or the arrow keys. Down is ram - you can ram while moving (jumping counts!). You need to make it to the top of the mountain and become the top goat!
Please explain how your game fits the theme.
It's simple really - there can only be one top goat! It started as "there can only be one person on the platform" and the platform slowly evolved into a mountain. You need to be at the top - the only one at the top.
Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Have fun!

I would like to live deliciously. Fun, but you gotta not have the screen flash white for epileptic reasons. Also you should make the camera lead the direction the player is facing
Thank you for your feedback! I'm glad you had fun. I'll make sure to change the screen flash and I like your camera recommendation. My brother also suggested camera improvements, like being able to zoom out to get a better look at the level, so I'll make sure to investigate and implement improvements.
