Fantastic job! The art and the presentation were great. The game was also really fun as well, and despite being simple I was able to do multiple runs and still have a good time. Any critiques I have are really just small things. I think it would be good if the fire gave some kind of indication it was going to attack: shrinking slightly or making a noise for instance. I got hit a few times because I was going to deposit a goat and got hit by a fireball I couldn't see coming. Some way to get a better sense what was behind the trees would also be good. Maybe a partial transparency or glow around objects or something. I did occasionally get hit by enemies I couldn't see behind trees and bushes which didn't feel fair. Overall though, great job!
I like the visual presentation. The newpaper theme and all. Had a bit of issues with the gameplay, I don't really really see any reason to not pick up a goat, so having to click it feel a bit tedious since it's a bit vague what is the interaction range, so you just mash, relativly the same for sending them in the fire. Later you can kill those cop dudes so I guess I understand the reason to click, but it's weird to be able to click out of range and send them just short from hitting the fire. My biggest issue comes with the fire attacks, they seem random and have 0 signaling, so they are just shot at you and one attack is dodged a certain way while another one another way, it feels like dodging them is mostly luck, I did worse on my last run than in my first one just because I was unlucky.
The visuals were great, the game felt polished.
Did you work alone, or as part of a group? (If in a group, list their names)
I worked alone
Disclose if you used any public domain assets or not.
The fire crackling sounds were sourced from free sound libraries and the font was from a free font website, but other than those things, all other assets were made by me
