Funny and nice mechanic!
thank you! hopefully the dialogue wasn't too forced, i wrote it all in like 15 minutes at 2 am lmao
nah. only thing is its annoying to wait thru it after u die. (I didnt find a skip keybind)
Nice little game, i liked the story telling and art of those slides :) There was some bugs with UI, but overall experience with the game was good. Well done!
Thank you! I appreciate the comments regarding the art :)
thank you, the art is so awesome!! my friend did a wonderful job. yeah i noticed that the web version broke some of the text characters (*, -, :), and if you die while dialogue is happening it makes the next view lines overlap with it and turn into gibberish lol. i'm glad you had a good time with it!
Fun game! I haven't had the pleasure of playing something similar yet; so it's original to me entirely. Following the goat was a perfect level of difficulty. My goat kept getting stuck in a pit; but other than that, the base concept was awesome!
i'm really glad that the difficulty is at a good level for a lot of people. i was worried that it was a bit too hard, but it seems that the level difficulty itself is good and that i just need to fix some frustrating bugs and adding skipping dialogue. thanks for the feedback!!
I loved it. The goat is cute, the ambiance is nice and chill but there's still some pressure to follow the goat closely. The concept works well.
I agree with the other comments about the checkpoint (also something we lacked in our own project).
Congrats!
tysm!! i'm proud of the concept, it's such a silly thing that i didn't expect to work too well gameplay-wise but i ended up liking how it put a twist on the platforming. cheers!
The goats adorable, and it's a great platformer with a nice mechanic! I do wish there were some sort of checkpoints of sorts so that I don't have to restart and possibly a skip dialogue button (for when I do have to go through it again). But other than that lovely polished game, great job!
thank you!! yeah, it realllyy needs checkpoints and dialogue skip, as well as some other quality of life and bug fixes. i'm sad i ran out of time to fix everything, but thank you for the kind words :]
I can't lie, I am terrible at 2D platformers.
This game is wonderful! I haven't played a game with this mechanic before, it's really quite clever. The goat is adorable, too. I found the controls a little finicky, but this may be a skill issue haha. The narrative is lovely, and fits well with the theme of the game. I also think the intro is a really intuitive way to explain the insanity mechanic. Great work (especially within the time constraints!!)
thank you so much!! i really appreciate the feedback. yeah the goat is so cute, my friend https://mangoscones.itch.io/ made the goat and all other sprites, she did a wonderful job. and your point about the controls is likely not a skill issue, i ran out of time to add coyote time and other leniency mechanics :c but i'm glad you enjoyed!! thanks again
Really like how you integrated the theme with the gameplay mechanics and the basic loop feels fun to me. Presentation feels really polished and fitting. Can be a bit punishing and tedious when you have to wait around for the goat because you have to restart from the beginning. (there was a graphical issue with the game on firefox, luckily playing on chrome works perfectly as a workaround)
tysm!!! i'm glad you enjoyed. yeah, it definitely needs some gameplay polish and quality of life. thanks for the feedback!!
THe concept fits well on the theme, the art and story are very sweet fr馃 Make me remember Celeste. But if have somethin that crach the fun is the cutscene everytime you die, if had a checkpoint could be better
But its just fix that to improve the gameplay a lot Good luck馃専
thank you, celeste is actually my favorite game of all time!!! that means a lot. yeah, i ran out of time to add a cutscene skipping feature :( thanks so much for the feedback though!
Interesting game, nice graphics, meant to play it more, but once you die you have to wait for the whole conversation to happen again which made failing too frustrating, i would have played it more if the conversation was skipped after the first time.
completely understandable, having to sit through the cutscene every time during testing was driving me crazy too lol. i unfortunately ran out of time to fix it, but i will add that once i expand the game after the jam! thanks for the feedback!!
