I think G button dosn't work inside levels?
That makes the gam too slow :/

Hey, that was really fun. Good difficulty steepness on the levels. Found a tiny glitch where you can drag and drop the water tiles - but its not a game breaker. Nice soundtrack as well!

This game is crashing on my PC after "spawncomponent created". I'm using Windows 7 x64

The game is not working on my Mac. A terminal window opens but then nothing happens.

Pretty good, it's kinda like TIM, but with goats. :)

Omg, game is too damn good.
Really want to see more levels in post-compo version.

Oh sorry, I didn't knew that Spacebar starts the level. I mean, I didn't figured out that the level starts paused. You should put something indicating that, maybe after the competition.
I'm having fun with this, remember me some of those old games like Lemmings. Work more on this, fix the bugs and this game will be awesome!

I do wish it was possible to spawn more goats without resetting all tiles... it makes finding the solution to each level less iterative than it could be, and slower, too.

Good music and a nice clean art style! Very nice work :)!

A really fun and addicting game. I couldn't get more goats to spawn, but the level/puzzle design were quite good and let to some interesting gameplay.

Cool game. Reminded me of Lemmings and TIM. Nice mixture of both. A handful more levels would have been nice, since I sensed the upcoming addiction a bit ;)

Could not figure out how to get this to work, sorry. Screenshots look cool though. Did the run.sh thingy, and nothing happened. Anyway, congrats on your entry.

Could't play the NaCL version. Initially it took ages to show the start screen. Then it works, but after starting the game I only see a goat and a saw and nothing more. Will try this game again later on a windows machine. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 now.

A really nice progression (and a continous introduction of concepts/the game mechanic). It's just a bit annoying that you have to replace all your objects again if something didn't fit right.

Very fun game for me! :) I'd like to save the position of the tiles when I restart the level.

Nice lemmings game :) Should be able to get more goats without resetting all objects.

Unfortunately it crashed when the window started to appear. I'll try again later with a different computer.

Pretty fun little puzzle game! Feels like Lemmings except you need to hurtle the goats into a meat grinder instead of lead them to safety. Hmm, more of a mix of Super Meat Boy with Lemmings, in reverse.

Others have already pointed out the problems with restarting a level, it would be much easier to tweak things instead of replacing all of them.

Hope you keep developing it post-compo! It could be a whole lot more fun if you added levels and objects :)

A very funny and polished game. Loved the minimalistic, clear style. A death animation for goats would be nice. Sound and background music fits very well, too. Sadly not that much content... but for 48 hours, this game is impressive anyway.

Played with chrome and the levels took long to load.

Hey wow you managed to hit a lot of solid design points in 48 hours.

Where's the gorts, though? Oh... goats. I get it now.
