Try to fullscreen your player if at all possible, and be sure to crank up your sound for maximum enjoyment.

Can you climb the precarious peaks to reach your goatly kin?

W,A,S,D or Arrow keys to control, Spacebar to jump.

In case you can't get enough of the music

Ye gods, "Entire Game on One Screen...and the surounding walls, the ceiling and the floor too" How big is your monitor?

The music was nice, pretty comical actually, but it faded out to almost silent as soon as I moved the goat away from the start position.

I must admit, I can't get beyond the little avalanche, I'll try again later.

Fun game! Physics and audio made me laugh! Good work!

I couldn't get the goat to jump, he did once or twice but most of the time I was stuck on the platform. I like the art style, but seems a bit unfinished.

A very relaxing game with very pretty low poly visuals.
I think you should fix the pretty clunky controls and the very unprecise collision detection

The integreated music is just wonderful and how it mirrors the events in the game. A game where it is almost funnier to die than reaching the goal, now that's something. Great work!

Such a funny game!
I can't stop laughing :D

I loved how the music changed as you fell. I also liked the low poly graphics.

Fun idea and really well executed. Pretty hard. Didn't reach the top after multiple tries. The microscopically small goat makes it extra tough but somehow also makes it cooler :)

Having that animal plummet all that long way to its death is just funny cruel :) Especially with the sound underlining that long fall even more. The avalanche is well done and quite a surprise when it happens to you for the first time.

Really nice animations. Overall the graphics work really well. Great job!

Oh my god, This is amazing!

The controller is ok, and it's a good idea I just did not like the music.

Weirdest game I've ever seen in my life. And yes, dying is more rewarding than (probably) reaching the goal, because the 3D sound warping is incredible. "Maximum enjoyment" indeed. Definitely do fullscreen if you can't see the whole picture.

Pretty neat concept but I don't feel it fits the theme.

Thank god I played this right before going to bed.

Nice job on the graphics effects when elements break apart and gather at the foot of the mountain.

The music makes this hilarious, I wouldn't mind the wonky controls if the collisions were little better. Guess it just adds to the humor.

Good game and humor. Poor goats :(

Relaxing game... I fell in love with it... Amazing graphics! Well done!
JoshuaBurr10 Dec 2014, 19:07
I love the visual style and music (though it started to grate on me). I found the controls to be pretty tricky and didn't make it to the top after several attempts. The collapsing platform made me give up.

A trolling game :D I like the idea of it. Thanks for making this game!
alpha_rat10 Dec 2014, 21:21
really weird !
it makes it funny in a way, but the music soon started to get on my nerves :D I still like how the sound deforms with the falling
It's pretty hard also, I gave up before reaching the top - falling felt way funnier

Hardest game of LD31. Managed to beat it after a couple of tries. Totally worth the effort!
Ashtom11 Dec 2014, 08:27
Funny settings that made me laugh. Pitching down the music when the goat is falling was a nice touch. I was a bit frustrated by the controls and couldn't pass the first avalanche. Might try again another time.

I gave this a high humor because the music made me laugh. Not so sure if it fits whats going on but I also think it really improves the experience. Man that little sucker is hard to control too, and I know there isn't a lot of time but a little how to would be helpful even if it's just wasd jump. I also really liked the colors and the look so nice job!

Controls and physics are frustrating, and I'm wondering if it's actually winnable. But I'm impressed with the effect you were able to create with the visuals.

I want the goat music to be the music theme for my life
Warboys14 Dec 2014, 10:45
Honestly I couldn't get past the Avalanche on my 4th try and by that point the AWESOME MUSIC was driving me insane. Can it be won?!

Nice humor and I love the low poly style... and that dreaded music :D
GAFBlizzard16 Dec 2014, 21:02
Cute idea, but SUPER frustrating controls. Jump simply does not seem to work if you are next to a wall. If the player goat didn't constantly bounce to the music, and could jump when next to walls, it might be more fun, as a suggestion.

I smiled at the music. Great idea about that. I liked the shadow, it really helps maneuvering.
