Nice job! The concept is hilarious. I think the puzzle aspect could be improved - figuring out how to solve the levels was never that challenging. Unless a puzzle game wasn't your intention, of course.  I just felt like this mechanic would suit a puzzle game. The mechanic also wasn't explored very throughly. I did the same sort of thing throughout the whole game. A couple small things: I think the goat should be able to be launched farther. It was frustrating to have to move the goat so slowly, and it also meant it was harder to play with the physics. I also feel that you should have a circle around trees that shows exactly where you will turn into a ball - often I was just guessing. Overall, a good effort!

Very good art and gameplay! The tutorial was properly invisible, and the game fit the theme well. I particularly like how the goat always landed on its feet, and the puffs of smoke were satisfying

I like this. Pretty solid game.

I loved your game! Watched it on Taco's stream.

Really cute goat pixel art and the ball mechanic is super fun!

Great job! :)

Fun idea! The physics felt a little floaty; I think it would be more satisfying with a bit more gravity, since the friction already makes the goat feel like he should be heavy. Nice game, and really funny concept!

I don't feel like the game is "Out of Control", yeah there is the goatball but you control the launch so you pretty know where it goes. Still a cool gameplay tho, don't get me wrong ! Original game :)

I liked the game concept that was really creative

Nice physic based puzzle game. I like strategizing how position for the ball transformation. A suggestion I would make would be to speed up the physics simulation as the objects move rather slowly.

Submitted

The idea was nice, really liked the legs physics and the level design

However, the game felt a bit slow sometimes

Unfortunately I got this error "call_indirect to a null table entry (evaluating 'Module["asm"]["Hi"].apply(null,arguments)')" but the screenshots look like its fun!

That's weird. Maybe adblock or some other browser extension is messing something up (not that there are ads :P). For example my adblock built into Brave Browser makes every unity game not load unless I disable it.

Fun, best game ever!

Reminds me of those MINICLIP games I used to play back in the day... I think with a few new elements and some more levels you are golden!!

The main gameplay mechanic was quite simple and very good to allow for quite a few levels! The theme and art style was very cute too. Great job.

I didn't knew goat could do that.

As a fan of desert golfing, I like this game very much. 

And super good job on making that goat always landing on its hoofs!

Best goat physics I've ever seen. I love the way the little feeties adjust to the ground. I love the weirdness of everything, it's all so charming. The goat jumping was a little slow? Which got a bit annoying sometimes but I'd play more of this game is there was some. Can see a lot of room for cool other levels.

The . goats . were . so . cute. I really like how the game mechanics were taught through out the game, and the legs were a very nice touch. The music was also nice and soothing and the art style well done.

Only complaint was that if I needed to move upwards it was a sliiiiiiiiiiiiight hastle since I would keep end up bringing up my taskbar and would need to keep doing slight bunny hops until I got where I needed, but this is only a minor nitpick. 

All in all,very nice game!

Really adorable and wacky and original! Wish it moved a bit faster, but I love the legs always landing on the floor. Great work!

I had fun playing this a lot actually. Although it felt a little slow but that was worth the game concept. :)

Very cute. The ball part felt rather random, but I had too much fun to really care. Great game! :)
