How does your game represent "Slick"?
I think of mobsters primarily being slick people, but goons are the opposite of that, so the game is about training goons until they can be considered slick.

Really cool and complete feeling package. The character editor alone is incredible, there are so many little freaks in there waiting to be made
I accidentally made "Goonkey Kong" the perfect height to where all of his moves hit the other guy directly in the dick.
10/10 would dick punch Jackal Trade for a minute straight again
This game rules, I love everything about this. Monster Rancher with prohibition gangsters is such a deeply funny concept. Having shareable codes is also genius, although I couldn't get mine to copy in the Web Build. Well done, this is slick AND funny! :) Also the music SLAPS
Oh man, that's a goon I really wish we could keep. I will curse browser security restrictions for the rest of my days.
This music got me feeling so devious. Loved spending ages making my character look as slick as possible - it was great that you added descriptions for all of the statistics so it was clear how I was modifying my character as the game progressed. Everything was super clear and satisfying when my little brute cooked all of the goons that tried to fight him. Great work :)
This is a very cool concept and I love the art style, the simple low poly models and the PS1 dithering. Presentation is 10/10. Music is funky and fits the game really well too. It's a very unique take on the slick theme and it all works really well.
Wow what levels of polish! Having a custom character creator in a game jam game is so slick. Had a lot of fun raising my own goon. Nice job! :)
This game was fun to play, even if I wasn't clear about what some of the stats really do. I also wasn't able to unlock a move other than punch. My fav thing is how cute the character (a little nosey gnome named Tophat) looks when going crazy with exercise.
Very fun game, love how the character customization is what affects the stats! One thing I wished was a speed up button for the auto battles (and more rounds so I can create the ultimate goon).
Very fun raising my goon. I present Lil Tony GOON-Lil=Tony-H4sIAAAAAAAAA1NgYGCQYACBCCcGhkVAHObM0HDWmeGAtgsDQx+QP8MRLM3Q4cTQ0OnMwMDlAuE7OAAJoFyD/dkzZ+wY4KDB3tjY2B7GPnvGxw7EBwDxvQ6UaAAAAA==
Hey there.
With the jam concluded now, just coming back to say I did a round robin tournament with all the goons the jam participants shared. Yours was the second best! He was my personal favorite to root for, he was a lot of fun.
Just wanted to let you know. Thanks for playing and sharing!
Wooo Lil Tony! That's my boy! 🥹
love that it has a little character customiser, love the workout animations!
I love the looks, the soundtrack and the character creator
It's a really fun combination and it makes you think "what did they do with the pokemon at the daycare"?
Both the training and fighting animations are top tier, very well done!
Very fun. More jam games should have a character creation screen. Impressive work for ~1 week! Great Job!
I got fun and laugh to build my own Gobelin Goon. Succeed all the battles, thanks for the fun.
This is a really fun and silly theme for a creature creator type game! RIP Tony Tenor, woke up this mornin', got himself an L.
This is freaking awesome. I love it.
I made my goon look like The Penguin (the Danny DeVito version). The little training animations are a lot of fun, especially the squats and victory pose. The concept is great. The music and visuals work nicely. I also love all of the creative ways of declaring victory: "made him cut to black mid-scene" might be my fave. Well done!
The character creation is hilarious. Great game overall.
I found an exploit. You keep your stats and stop being tired when you go back to the menu. So you can get max stats on day 1.
Otherwise very good game! Had a blast
Ah ha, it has finally been found. Yeah, I knew it was a thing but both forgot and ran out of time to fix it. The training attempt variable is tied to the room instead of the save data, so it gets reset on loading in.
Thanks for giving it a go! Hope you had fun.
I don’t typically play games in this genre, but you’ve executed everything so well here that I can’t help but have a great time with it! Everything about this game oozes personality; I especially love all the little powerup animations and the way that they speed up over time. The amount of stuff that you were able to implement in such a short time is seriously impressive. I definitely think a more fleshed out tutorial would go a long way here, but other than that I’m having a hard time coming up with any criticisms. Great idea and even better execution!!
This is such a great game. The character creator is 10/10, the training is silly and fun, and the battle system reminds me of chao garden in a very pleasing way!! I couldn't tell if I had any influence on choosing the moves in the battle, but it was just so charming. The graphics and music are so perfect as well.
The workout animation was funny AF. Great style on this game
