You Are The Goatman by Kroltan

made by Kroltan for LD25 (COMPO)

***THIS GAME FEATURES GOATS***

Controls: WASD/Arrows
Objective: Protect goats and kill villagers

- Goats run towards you if you're close and will run away from villagers.
- Villagers run away from you and run towards goats.
- When any character bumps on obstacles, they are damaged.
- Watch out for spiky plants, they hurt on high speeds.
- You get points by killing villagers and lose them when goats die.
- To kill villagers, ram them the fastest you can. Take care not to die with the impact, though.
- You win if you're alive when the time ends
- If all goats die, you lose

Fixed! The code that was looking if there were any surviving goats to make you lose was running before goats were added. haha

May i ask, What did you use to create the 2D Sprites, and what (if any) Asset did ou use to manage those on Unity? Some SpriteManager?

@SumX: I used this: http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/tool/chibi/index1.html (Dated back from the times I used RPG Maker) to create the human characters, and built my simple SpriteManager (see source of game) that allows for basic animation by UV switching.
The manager is simple: drop it in a GameObject, select spritesheet and dimensions in cells, put a Transparent kind of material and you're done. There's some obviously-named public methods for hooking into anything you would need (animation management, etc).

I love the art style, that's what I was planning on going for. I was a little lost on the gameplay, and I wasn't too sure about the theme until I realized I could beat up the eskimos by running into them :)

The music alone is worth playing this game. I didn't hear anything like it since the frog song in Botanicula.

But it lacks actions, clear goals. A sword to slay the villagers would help, or a pen where I can lead the goat in to be safe.

@TomK32: Thanks! I might do a post-compo version with the pen you suggested, however I kind of disagree on the matter of swords since you play as the Goatman, and goats attack by ramming at menaces. Possibly even a 2-player version!

Fun fact: the "AI" in this game are just magnets.
