And an interactive tutorial is also really nice to see (even I only had time for a couple of screenshots with text on them you need to skip past to play :slight_frown:)\n\nLike I do for most games, I'm just going to have a few comments for little bugs\/ideas I think would make it better, please don't take this to think I didn't like your game (I did! It was great! I pinky swears!) but I'm just excellent at nitpicking:\n- This is the graphic designer in me talking (there's a lot of different things in me, but I don't always let them out), but the font you use for tutorial text is great for titles and such, but for larger amounts of text it's not the most readable\n- There were a few times I tried to build a tower but it said I was too close to an enemy pathing node - maybe you could show those visually as sandtraps or something so I know where I can't build just by looking\n- The music - maybe you shouldn't listen to me because plenty of people say they like it, but I actually found it so grating I had to turn off my speakers - seems to me like the sort of thing that would work great for an action stage in an 8-bit platformer, but doesn't really sound golf-y or medieval-y to me. (But as I said - other people liked it. So you should probably just ignore me.)\n- I was playing extra at the end, and either the gold display was wrong or I was getting a severe discount on my towers, because the number on the gold display only went down by 4 when I built the big ones\n- Just a thought, but maybe you could make it so if you hit a goblin with the golf ball, it hurts them? Could come in handy if your towers are getting a bit overwhelmed and you're just waiting for enough gold to build more\n\nBut like I said - those are just minor things, and I'm a major nitpicker. Overall, it was great!","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Baby Dino Herd","author_uid":"1010395","time":"2018-04-26T15:38:45Z","epoch":1524757125,"modified":1524757125,"text":"A formidable amount of content and game here for only 48 hours -- well done! \n\nLearning the game was a little difficult -- the tutorial text was instructive and funny, but there was a lot of it and I sometimes lost the context for what I was trying to do. For instance, it wasn't clear where to place the towers initially; so I placed them around the green, but it seemed like the goblins would just run around them.","likes":0,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"phaze0","author_uid":"1001429","time":"2018-04-27T01:48:29Z","epoch":1524793709,"modified":1524793709,"text":"I won, but there were still a lot of goblins, but I won!

I really enjoyed the golf mechanic to move the player around, and I thought the music was great as well.  Something that I think the game would benefit from would be better visual cues when you are about to move your player, and maybe something for the enemy destruction as well.  I also would like to be able to pan up and down with my camera, the vision felt a bit limited when on top of a constructed tower.  This was a very unique and fun submission overall, good work!","likes":0,"format":"md"}],"format":"md","images":["ld41\/85290-035905dadf9b21f5f96de46f30ba9adf.jpg"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/github.com\/ErikUggeldahl\/LD41","text":"Source code"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1JaaXCK_QUaX6UWpwWcxCyynm99Efrl-h","text":"Windows"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1FPHSRf0EqpMBquBjLU6bUAt7iRNEQsIw","text":"macOS"},{"url":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1SR83gL5bX3CvkQl-Lh9dUYaPa-NmQaM3","text":"Linux"},{"url":"https:\/\/gamebucket.io\/game\/e211d118-3ee8-4eb4-aa24-e176611ba534","text":"HTML5 (web)"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"46744","g_author":"1013392","g_event":"LD41","g_eventkey":"72","g_subevent":"COMPO","g_urlkey":"229446","g_title":"Gouf & Goblins","g_status":"USEAR3","g_place":"594","g_commentcount":"14","g_site2_node_id":"85290","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"85290","n_urlkey":"229446","n_parent":"73256","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/41\/gouf-goblins","n_slug":"gouf-goblins","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"compo","n_author":"13392","n_created":"1524272565","n_modified":"1524455892","n_version":"250845","n_status":"COMMIT"},"node":{"id":85290,"parent":73256,"superparent":9,"author":13392,"type":"item","subtype":"game","subsubtype":"compo","published":"2018-04-23T02:21:32Z","created":"2018-04-21T01:02:45Z","modified":"2018-04-23T03:58:12Z","version":250845,"slug":"gouf-goblins","name":"Gouf & Goblins","body":"Welcome, Your Majesty, to the fine game of Gouf.
