I did all the art, all the programming and all the game design😎
The sound fx I got off some sound fx website I can't remember the name of and unfortunately I didn't have time for music so I guess that's everything

Good Art!
I wish there be more benefits when I collect herds
this is a cool idea, very fun to play around with! I noticed a few bugs with the weapons, and around wave 24 I got down to less than 1 FPS with a herd of 1.6k and growing by about 100 every frame. I love the chaos of it, nice work!!
I think it would be really cool if your herd size got you particular advantages. maybe you could turn 200 of them into a giant goat-based weapon
I am not done with this project for sure! Turning goats into upgrades is a great idea! I'm thinking of making so you have to eat goats every once in a while too to keep from starving, and have to balance eating them with keeping enough alive to breed. Also making so only some of your goats have horns and those ones can fight back while the other ones are more common and can produce more goats.
I've got loads of suggestions and feedback and I'm going to continue working on it for a while I hope.
I'm so glad you liked it enough to play to 2K goats lol
I will follow this page with great interest 👀
cool art, fun game. camera was a bit jittery and the movements a bit floaty, i liked the upgrades and the hectic gameplay. overall it was fun.
Very cool ! had some unfortunate bug where my weapons disappear or i couldn't use them. Art style is great and funny
Oh that's unfortunate! I don't know why that would be happening ):
Glad you like the art!
Cool art style, nice job!
Thank you!
It's a pity you can't win here! The controls are smooth. There is more and more goats during every wave, but apparently the weapon levelling up seems to play little difference helping to fight them. But the game overall is interesting!
Yeah no winning. You just have to see how big you can get your herd before it dies. One of those games where you always lose but try to make a new highscore first.
if you have questions or comments please post them on the game page instead of this jam-submission page. Thanks! Also note that as the description says I forgot to take the weapons out of debug mode before I uploaded so you start the game with all of them unlocked... I suppose that's good for you though lol
