I HAVE A CONFESSION TO MAKE: I'm sorry but I went about 8 - 10 minutes into the submission hour BUT I was sick on day 2 and day 3 so I should have had that time anyway AND considering that some people's clocks were wrong, they probably went overtime too. Besides, this is the Jam so I can slightly bend a few rules right? Again, I'm sorry.

What I was trying to do was make a game where you have to disable robot goats and take over their circuit boards. You would then "become them" making you the villain. Get it? if not I'll probably make a post compo version so you can see what I was trying to do.

Features:
No sound. Cool right?
Robot Goats!
Unfinished functionality
ROBOT GOATS!
Booster thingys that fling you into the air!

Post-compo features:
Sound!
Health indicator
Fixed Takeover feature
sucky animations
Ability to win and lose

It's a shame you didn't get around to finishing your idea - it could have been really interesting. Unfortunately as the game is it's not really a game, the graphics aren't brilliant and there is no audio.

I'd like to see where you would take this idea after the competition though.

Good start for having less time than most to complete it. If you do make a post-compo version here are the priorities I would fix first:
- indicators for health and death
- that takeover power sounds awesome, so implement that
- Animations

Otherwise the rest of it is solid.

There was a heck of a long load time there. I actually thought the game crashed on start up. Also, it would be good to have some feedback to the users when they destroy an enemy (at the very least have them removed from the level).

I'll try to get a post compo version up soon.
@Justin Kibbe Those are the EXACT features I wanted :)

Sometimes the most important part of Ludum Dare is submitting something, even if it isn't a game yet.

The gameplay is a little dull. I liked the idea though!

I think I may recode this thing and make an actual game. I know nobody will read this but whatever. Kilroy was here.
