Ludum Dare #33compo
Impassioned Fowl
You are a Goose. You hate honking. Your hatred is completely irrational. You are a monster. Stay calm for as long as possible or face a talking to from another goose.
Controls: click through menus, click buttons.
For best results play directly on itch.io not here, or download the standalone apps
I used Stencyl as my engine, photoshop for graphics, audacity to edit my honking and pulseboy.com for my soundtrack.
I have included all the versions of the game in my source so you can see the progression, as well as all the assets in a raw format.
I had great fun this jam!
My high score is 61, can you beat it??
[24 AUG: I noticed, thanks to a comment, a small bug where some of the geese showed "null" instead of honking, I observed the rules of LD and discovered "Certain Bug Fixes are allowed" as long as I notify you, all I did was add "-1" to my code so it only retrieves items within the list. Thanks all]

I had fun with this, thanks. I actually lol'd at "You are a goose."
bodsey24 Aug 2015, 10:19
I'm still trying to find how that fits the theme, but it's crazy so I love it. My only complain would be that english being not my mothertongue, I've hard times understanding what was the actual correct sentence sometimes :)
Rakholl24 Aug 2015, 10:24
Short n' funky.
Commentary on the social and psychological cage surrounding geese is a fun idea. The swift punishment for nonconformity and psychological disorder is as gripping as it should be.
Good idea and all the execution I reckon it needed.

Interesting concept! Very funny, too.

You score on humor!
The bad-screen takes WAY too long.

Very educational, a great insight into geese
McFood24 Aug 2015, 11:08
Simple gameplay, but so fun.
I laughed a lot. Maximum humor points.
I got 49.
The monster theme felt a bit tacked on, which was funnier anyway.
Honk!

Trippy!
Demy24 Aug 2015, 13:12
Cool idea. Yep, our society is something like that... or not... don't listen to my, I'm just an obnoxious goose.
-muffin-24 Aug 2015, 13:20
I'm dying! XDDD
ccglp24 Aug 2015, 13:58
Pretty funny and humoristic. Nice game :)
Wevel24 Aug 2015, 14:10

haha, loved it :D

Love it!
Kaltic24 Aug 2015, 17:24
Very fun and funny. I like the idea of the Goose being the monster, because they really are anyway.
The only problem I had was the seizure inducing color party when you lose your cool.

Really funny!!
ceosol24 Aug 2015, 18:25
There was a goose infestation where I used to live. This game definitely makes me laugh. I completely get the "you are the monster" reference in this!
mantis24 Aug 2015, 19:02
To quote the popular saying 'WHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN!'. Well played!
Sunflower24 Aug 2015, 19:11
I've got 52 score, if I recall.
The yay:
- quite amusing!
- wide range of goosethoughts
The nay:
- graphical inconsistency (especially pixelated objects with text)
- nullhonkers
- I wasn't getting any closer to Canada ;-;
I foresee it scoring high in "Humor" charts. ^^

Wow, very nice game it looks great
xWarZonex24 Aug 2015, 20:15
I don't get it XD, but its fun.
Vaida24 Aug 2015, 20:52
The whole game could have been improved visually & audio-wise quite a bit, but it makes up for that by being hilarious. You have made a very, erm, "special" game. :p
StrideWide24 Aug 2015, 21:52
This is a strange game, I like it.
Mr. Jif24 Aug 2015, 22:32
Hilarious and strange. I loved it :) Glad I stuck around long enough for the clouds to start moving
Gamepopper24 Aug 2015, 22:56
This game is really weird, but there is something enticing about it. Maybe it's the brilliantly animated geese or the trippy colours when you fail, but this does give a good impression.
tullyhansen25 Aug 2015, 01:41
I love te
PixelPerfect25 Aug 2015, 02:30
Great concept!
Might want to include an epilepsy warning.

Like most geese, I too often ignore calls from my parents. This is bananas and I love it.
vividhelix25 Aug 2015, 03:30
weirdest entry so far, well done!
Jamie Guillemette25 Aug 2015, 04:09
nice goose sprite. Web client didn't work for me.. native OS X download did :) a little more time between decisions would be good
AndyBrown25 Aug 2015, 04:34
That dialogue was golden. Quite an amusing game! I liked how the text starting moving around to give some added difficulty. Managed to get to 64 before being called out on my monstrous tendencies.
handkor25 Aug 2015, 04:36
This was way out there, good job, made me laugh.
Dizzyman57225 Aug 2015, 06:22
What?...One of them pooped on my car! Nice game there man, I really liked the art and animations that you put in this game.
Shadow Dreamer25 Aug 2015, 15:16
Dude, very interesting game, and an interesting take on the theme as well! Good job.
Unept25 Aug 2015, 16:24
So deep. Like I'm literally staring into the minds of geese in flight. :)
BeardoGames25 Aug 2015, 18:04
Hahaha, fanstastic! "Ignore call from parents" was what pushed me over the edge. This is definitely a game with me in mind. Great overall, and especially as far as casting an animal not typically considered to be a monster.
Jupiter_Hadley25 Aug 2015, 20:36
Quite the humorous game! I included it in part 4 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/NqmWO8MUX6c
ETHproductions26 Aug 2015, 00:37
Very entertaining! It does feel like staring into the minds of geese in flight. After a few rounds, I managed to get 70 before becoming overly anxious. 4.5/5 overall.
MrTwister26 Aug 2015, 00:53
HAHAHA, I still don't know what I just played but it was awesome! Incredibly funny!
Great job man!
Great job man!
Cory Martin26 Aug 2015, 08:12
This is pretty funny. It's surprisingly a fun challenge to read through the options and pick the one that won't offend any of the honkers. The failure screen does take a bit too long though. I also wish the text were more readable.
derr26 Aug 2015, 12:01
After leaving this review I will to go back and meditate on this. *sage nod*
squarepug26 Aug 2015, 15:06
I really like the end scene, the colors flashing are great. I think the sounds work well and it is funny.
plusultra26 Aug 2015, 19:40
Pretty funny stuff!
HappyHour27 Aug 2015, 13:55
Geese are evil! They are the real monsters.
Amusing little game!

LMT27 Aug 2015, 15:26
Well that was certainly interesting. Never did I think that I would click on impassioning messages to stop a goose getting a stern talking to.
rudra29 Aug 2015, 14:24
Really funny game, good job!
Slothmachine29 Aug 2015, 17:08
Oh man. Gooses can be assholes. Fun game :)
nili29 Aug 2015, 18:19
Love it.
BuffaloPhil29 Aug 2015, 21:04
Unique game! honk
walsh931 Aug 2015, 17:36
Great sound.
LukeZaz2 Sep 2015, 03:40
Decent little game. Not much to see, but not much wrong with it either.
ZNCatlaw7 Sep 2015, 01:00
Ha ha ha, this was great! Loved it when the thought bubbles started to float around. This is a great mechanic because as it gets harder to click, I find myself more and more attracted to "kill everyone" or "ignore call from parents".
Blobo11 Sep 2015, 23:33
really nice entry. I was doing great, just strolling along when all of a sudden... the clouds... they MOVE! that messed me up.
bombjack12 Sep 2015, 15:40
wtf ?! O_o
reiknight12 Sep 2015, 17:57
I <3 this game :D! Very original and funny! Cool graphics tho. Good job!
Ludipe14 Sep 2015, 17:08
Simple concept yet really funny. So much crazyness in one game.
OF course, I have been hyped for the game since I saw the first goose sprite. I guess I have a soft spot for waterfowl :)
My one suggestion is that the status bar should be moved below the buttons, so you can see it as you click.
Excellent work!
