This is a gem with so much character! Having to balance a trench coat full of goblins was mischievous as hell. Such a cool idea! The bumbly music fit so well for the first half, and so did the frantic music of the second half. The switch up for the second scenario was great. It reminded me of games I played as a kid where sections of the game would have a completely different set of controls and mechanics all in the name of fun. I would love to see more of what these goblins get up to. Great work, and thanks for the game!

Such a unique idea! I love the balancing mechanic- it feels extra slick when you save yourself from falling at the very last second. I need more levels because I don’t want to stop playing!
Level 2 is hard!! But I completed it. Well done! The game reminds me of a coloring book. A lot of these comments mention the sound effects and I have to agree. I love how chaotic it was. The art is cute and the gameplay is fun and doesn't overstay its welcome. Good job!
Truthfully, I really loved the lil soundtrack and all the sound effects! They are beyond cute. It's probably my favorite part of the game! You've created a super addicting game and it's a feat to be proud of. I keep finding myself coming back to this just to mess around a little more each time. If there was a score board I'd probably be top 3 by now! The colorful art adds a lot of interest too. I hope that you keep making more games, you've got the special touch!
Loved the adventure of the Goblins going to get some snacks! Very enjoyable game
I could talk about the gameplay, but... the story is clearly a metaphor for class struggle within developing nations. I think you've got a Pulitzer coming your way.
Also, I thought the goblins actually took the olive oil at first and was thrilled. It just feels right that goblins would thirst for the oil.
Very cute and fun art style. I really liked the characters and the story setup. The only downside for me was the difficulty of balancing the characters, I would prefer it a little bit more forgiving to ease the learning curve, but I like that there are plenty of checkpoints to compensate for the difficulty. All in all, a joyful entry in the jam.
Thank you for being so forgiving with those checkpoints! It made my experience much better. I really like the idea, the balance would get a little weird sometimes, but thanks to the checkpoints it was a great time
I loved the unique 'children in a trench coat' feeling and controls that was slick! The goblin roll was difficult at first but I managed to make it through! Nice Job! :)
Great game! I’ll be honest I was confused about the first door for a bit, I wasn’t sure if there was a control I was missing since when I pushed into it I kept seeming to move up into the ceiling and die, once I figured out how to lean into it properly it was fine though - I think the odd collision is what confused me. The art style was great and I think the mechanics overall were really good though. The forgiving checkpoints were definitely a good call for a jam as it made it easier to experience the whole thing while still having some challenge. Well done!
Very cute little game, pretty funny as well. Love how generous the checkpoints were.
