Billy Goat Grub by ChrisFagan

[raw]
made by ChrisFagan for LD33 (JAM)
**Play in full screen**

My wife and my first ever entry into Ludum Dare and it was awesome!

You're a troll who only eats goats, not deer or sheep, they're too gamey tasting. You've got about 2:30 to eat as many as you can, make sure to keep an eye out for the rare Billy Goats.

Controls:
Click to eat!

Make sure to play in Google Chrome/Firefox since it's made in Construct, there's something with HTML5, I'm not too sure though since I only just learned the software for this compo.

Programming/Design - Chris Fagan
Art - Lindsey Fagan
Sounds and Music - Julian Surma

Made in construct 2 with the art done in Photoshop, not sure about the audio, Julian did those remotely.

I have no idea where the hitbox is on the cursor but sometimes I click and it just doesn't register. Very nice art and sound though.

The collision boxes definitely need some tweaking. The art was beautiful, but I was kind of sad when I realized it was all static.

Congrats on your first LD!

The hitbox wasn't always perfect. But felt pretty right at the start.

This is the best of this kind of game I've played this Ludum Dare, the targets were just the right level of challenge. The artwork was great! There were goat sounds. Excellent Job!

Thanks everyone! Sorry for the hitboxes, they were hard to get sorted perfectly. Glad you guys like the art!

I think it is so wonderful when a husband+wife makes games together! Great work on your game: I love the fabric textures and funny music!

I LOVE THE GRAPHICS! Audio is also quite good.
The game is too hard for me, but still nice.
I just enjoy staring the skys, clouds, trees, and flying animals.

Very unique art. The music is enjoyable for that kind of game. I would have expected the game to have a constraint like a timer or a game over if I eat the wrong meat repeatedly. I would also have expected the monster, who is the main character, to be animated somehow (another frame while killing the animals, or particle effects...)
Overall, very entertaining, fun entry.

I can never catch the big grey goat.

Awesome game! Nice art, music and cool gameplay. I loved how you connected the troll with the traditional lore! :)

Liked the textures. Some tips (positive feedback haha):
- Would love to see some animations.
- Starting menu, or at least and endgame screen (triggered by time, by errors...)
- Just to point it, if you do nothing, just look, when you reach 0 points sometimes the score text does weird things.

Hope it help!

Very good artstyle and the gameplay works well. However I would have loved to see some sort of goals. win state and loss state.

I really liked the sound effects. I wish there were more things happening in this game.

Hitboxes works fine enough -for me at least-, but I can't hear any sounds, which is weird because apparently there are according to the comments.

Thanks again everyone! Basically everything you guys have said are things we wanted in the game however I'm still learning Construct so there were a lot of things I couldn't get in in time. I'll do better next time!

A bit more feedback would be nice, like movement of the troll, something telling me if I missed or clicked out of range. Otherwise nice quick game

@Rialgar Yeah I wanted to get a bit more visual feedback in there but just didn't have the time unfortunately, will certainly work on that more in future jams though.

Thanks everyone!
