Super goblin tower by uchiro
The tale of the great goblin tower
Hey, do you like to build things? Also do you like the texts written through the program-translator? Forgive me for this, I am an alien and my ship crashed on this wonderful planet. Fortunately, the locals considered me a god and helped with the repair of the spacecraft. Now I have to help them get the Great Cheese from the sky (mgh, more precisely the Moon). They are simple people, so we will build a tower of goblins. With goblins as a binder. The hands, legs and powerful jaws will come together, you just need to put them on top of each other. Do not forget about the impact of wind and birds, of course. We are serious scientists.
Rules of the game
Control the ship, hurl the goblins at each other. Do not miss the tower, otherwise you will lose. Do not let goblins touch the right and left edges of the screen, otherwise the tower will fall apart.
Controls
- W/D & arrows - to movement
- Space - to drop the goblin. (For the sake of science)
- E - to apply special ability. The recharge time of the ability is indicated in goblins. Naturally. You can change the ability between matches

Ice beam seems a bit too powerful, but the game was a lot of fun, and I really liked the art
One day I will reach the orange moon
For me the game seems similar to "the world of goo", if you know that game. It has a similar goal, where you need small black animals(? xD) to build higher or in a certain direction. All in all, very nice idea and design :3 Nicely done.
Pros:
- Amazing art style. I really admire your skills, visual part of the game is a very strong overall.
- Sound design. The voiceover is gorgeous, if I were you I would have became a youtuber or at least a twitch streamer, your voice and ability to use it is a goldmine.
Cons:
- After some point of the game, it's impossible to lose. I think that this is because your tower is still exists from the bottom no matter how high you are right now. So at the some point of the game you can just spam "space" and your goblins will catch the tower no matter what, as they have plenty of time while falling all the way down.
- Also it would have been nice if you had an option to tune volume.
On the whole, a good time! I think, you can easily sell license to some "flash games" website. If I were you, I would have watched towards Y8 and Kongregate.
I loved the artstyle, the game idea was straightforward and it followed the them of this LD.
Was a bit too easy, but that just means it needs more testing. Nice with a bit of story as well!
The sounds are perfectly fitting the amusing and jocular art style, and the whole crazy idea of dropping piles of goblins to reach the moon is not something I'd be able to came up with ever =) Excellent work.
Nice job and very neat graphics
Gostei do conceito e da arte, mas senti a falta de algum fator de dificuldade extra... :flag_br:
Haha. We have a great game here! I liked the idea of the game, and the graphics! Very simple idea developed very well! Good job! :D
