Control:

WSAD - movement right-left-forward-backward

Mouse movement - turn left-right (sometimes it turns on in a competitive build;))
RMB - Attack + Movement. In order to learn how to hit correctly, you have to try.

F - turn on / off the flashlight, otherwise it is still dark in the cave as in ... Cave

Music is turned on in the settings menu.

Goblin found a map of an abandoned city. He went to loot it. Goblin began to pull all the levers there because of his stupidity and natural curiosity. The rooms began to fill with poisonous gas after another twitching of everything in a row and for the worse the exit was blocked. Goblin saw the second exit from the dungeon on the map at the very bottom of the mine ... This was just the beginning ...

I guess you exported this for windows. I recomand publishing it on Itch.io, it is free, ez, and people will be more likely to actually play the game.

Couldn't really understand fully how the controls were supposed to work.
Intro graphics are really good, slicing mushrooms was pretty satisfying too, please put it on itch.io

@cinderblade hi.
for the atack - you need to hold down the right mouse button. the control anchor moves in a hemisphere around the player. the faster the blow, the more damage.

I like the intro. The mouse controls look unnatural, and I feel like the motion animation is somehow stuck. But you have a good idea, it would probably just take a little more time. So good job.

@mira we are planning a re-release in the near future.
in view of the fact that they did not have time to do a lot, the re-release will include all the content that was not included and a serious bugfix

the management was so conceived. the key anchor moves in a hemisphere in front of the player.
we love strange mechanics

subscribe to page https://goblins-mechanics.itch.io/ to see the reissue
thanks for the fitback

Nice little 'descender' game - the controls were a bit fuzzy, but could descend the stairs ok.
The shrooms were not much of a resistance, and I just kept going down. Gems and caverocks were pretty along the way. :) Made it to the white gateway but died somehow a bit before it :(

I liked the intro art and the 3d models on the mushrooms. The controls felt very awkward (especially the bit about rotating the camera) but slicing through the mushrooms was quite satisfying. I think the game could benefit from a bit more diversity as the gameplay felt mostly reliant on large amounts of mushrooms and as a result felt quite repetitive.
Pedro Miranda28 Apr 2021, 21:09
Good idea for the game and the intro is cool!

Gameplay was a little too simple? The spores weren't a problem, just evaded them. Made it to the end but the white portal just killed me.

Nice entry though, the lighting give the game a cave-y atmosphere. Good job!

Nice concept, but I think you need some updates to make this more playable.
Seems to be issues with Mushrooms coming at the player to the point where I could just walk to the ending. Also mushrooms floating in the air, and some weird gray geometry I could walk through without realizing at first.
This is a very odd movement system for a player. I would love to see you invent a system where this makes more sense, I could really see it as a mine cart controller if you up the speed a bit.

@joror hi my friend!
do you have experience with magic gauntlet? joke :)))
Unfortunately, we did not have time to adjust the complexity - that is why it seemed so simple to you.
there are a lot of traps near the exit - you may have fallen into one of them.
in any case, subscribe but updates https://goblins-mechanics.itch.io/ and you can play the fully customized version when we make it))) thanks for your feedback))

Hi, overall very nice look of the game and menu. I especially like the art ;)
The gameplay seems a bit simple and would be nice to have some sounds, i only got a noise when i attacked a mushrooms.
Would be nice to see an update of this game.
