Violent Goat by Pixelcode
This was my first Ludum Dare. I've had a great time, and I know now what to do better for next time. There's some bugs, and the game isn't really finished, but I'm happy with it as it is my first LD game.
That said, the game is about a goat that tries to escape an underground facility. It was made with Unity and Blender. You can download it here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-pruc5LRsySNXhJTzNZb08zQTQ/view?usp=sharing
Hope you all had a great time!

I liked the goat and the enemy model.
Like you wrote in your description there were some bugs like jumping against a wall and being stuck to it.
The dialogue also wasn't easily readable; When it was displayed it often disappeared before I could completely read it.
Maybe making it so that the text has a minimum amount of time it has to be displayed before it disappears, even when leaving the original text area.
I am looking forward to your following entry in **LD39**!
I liked the game; it was simple and easy to understand, which is great. I also liked the music and the design in regards to the artwork. My only real gripe was my tendancy to get stuck in the walls, but I'm sure that can be fixed in future.
Overall great job! Hope you enjoyed yourself.

Maybe you could have done a 2D game : gameplay wouldn't be affected, and some bugs would be more easy to prevent.

Cheers!
Well, I believe you are aware of cons, but making something completed (half games doesn't really have that :P) is also good result for 1st LD game.
The graphics for the goat and robot were impressive, and the fact you made a full 3d scene including pretty good lighting were nice touches. For an extra level of polish it might have been cool to get sound effects for when the goat shoots, and when you get hit.
Also as other people have mentioned the text disappearing was also a problem, although I only really noticed it with the first text (execpt it was the controls so not ideal!)
Overall I really enjoyed playing, hope you enter future events :D
I had onejump where I could just not get over but hey.
Also maybe check out my entry.

PS.: oh yeah and put some screenshots in the description and a cover image you could attract a lot more attention that way!
