In this game you play someone with a nasty penchant for building an army of goats with lasers. However the plans for the goat laser experiment are stolen and taken to the "Top Secret HQ". You must break in and steal the plans back. Be careful though as someone may have enacted the plans and there may be some goat guards waiting for you.

Game is written in HTML5 and Javascript exclusively. Should be able to run straight from the desktop. Unfortunately you will need to have an internet connection at launch because it relies on JQuery from the Google reps.

Please enjoy the game and let me know what you think. It's not finished but it should be both playable and winnable too :) filtoid

If you have any problems getting hold of this then please let me know.

UPDATE 10:58 18/12/12 - I've uploaded a version with a couple of bug fixes ->
player.js - ln 276 - Added a fix for the bug where if you die the picks don't respawn - it was because the player never dropped them
StartRoomTriggers.js - ln 12 & 24 - When opening the lift door it was possible that one would open on top of the player and the player would then become stuck
------------------------------------------------------------
From reading the rules on the front page these bug fixes are allowed - if not then let me know and I will revert.

you got me with "army of goats with lasers" ;) I loved the "pew pew" at the end. Overall this game really lived by its compelling storyline.

For me, It wasn't clear what to do in the first level. I try to walk on the stairs and get into the HQ and hit the boxes but nothing happened and it took a long time.

That goat surprised me the first time see saw me. I expected a dash on me or something :)

Breaking all the crates every time is very boring, especially when after I died there was no more a keycard, so I was stuck.

Nice little game. For some weird reason the screen kept jumping around on me which was a little disorientating (web version on Chrome).

I really like the gameplay! Didn't get the theme though...

Scrolling behavior was rather odd but: storyline, lasers, spoken psggchh sounds are good. I needed neither a keycard nor the elevator, likely random?

just finished the game and i feel little bored
i dont that kind of moving player - i dont feel you need turing around instead of just moving left or right
but overall its a nice piece of game :)

@timtipgames - thanks, sadly didn't have much time to record quality sound effects.
@jerre - sadly not enough time to add the room at the bottom of the stairs either
@nitramgc - i tried to write rush code into the ai but they kept running away through walls :s
@TheSheep - ah sorry about that - i think actually you didn't drop it when you died and so still had it - it was a bug i found after submission sadly.
@chrismwaite - sorry about that - was it scrollbars appearing/disappearing?
filtoidauthor17 Dec 2012, 23:26
@nolacoaster - thanks - i agree i'd have liked to add more villany
@zenmumbler - could you expand on odd please? Did you expect it to scroll differently - like having the playing in the middle always? I'd be interested to know - the idea was to present several different ways of completing the game (Bit off more than I could chew with the design i think) :)
@JacksGameSucks - Sorry to hear that you were bored by the end - do you feel that the pacing was ruined by needing to turn rather than just go in that direction?

Thanks all for you comments - i'm seeking to improve the way I make games so i'm always happy for constructive feedback. :)

I really enjoyed the sound effects, particularly when I set us up the bomb :) I'm not sure if there was a keycard to find though? Once I planted the explosives it seemed like the explosion effect was repeatedly playing and I couldn't do anything else.

@char68 - it was a last minute dash to the end - I would have liked to have an escape sequence with more goats and then the finish be a nice graphic but sadly - outta time. :(

Really nice stealth puzzler! :)

I won!
Nice little sneaker.
A little harsh to start from the beginning when hit by a goat :)

Why did I die? I punched the rat/goat thing at it still laser'd me :(
Controls were a little weird for me (the turning).
Other than that, nice game.
