The Goblin Inside shows the little goblin beneath the surface of a young blonde girl who goes to a disco forced by her friends. She doesn't enjoy people invading her personal bubble, and therefore rages the hell out of it when they do, smashing everyone in the disco to make some room.
The team is composed of two people: my girlfriend (character and background art) and myself (game design and programming). The game was firstly intended for the Compo and I would do everything, but I wanted to show my girlfriend how games are done and how my world works when I'm not with her. So, we joined the Jam instead, finishing in Compo's time limit but as a team. We really enjoyed doing it although we didn't have a lot of time to make it.
WOW, that gave my hand a workout. It was amusing,I liked the sort of natural increased difficulty from just piling up factors. To be honest, I don't really think the theme was there, but it was fun. Also, the music was nice and helped me get in the groove a lot to go deeper into it.
The music fit the game very nicely. Love the game mechanics. Very hectic game, and very fun. Also a very clever interpretation of the LD theme. Nice work!
Extra points for humor, thats for sure!:D A bit lacking in gameplay though, but somehow still enjoyable.. Made it to a combo of 550+ before I got overrun by them crazy women!
Gameplay is basic but it works. Maybe you could make it more "tactical" by just lower the dancer number and make them move very slowly toward so you can think of the best option to charge in any angle.
