Fortunately I persevered to get the rom, I really liked the humor, and the use of references in the game! The goose's animation and sprites are perfect, bravo! A few text bugs on my Game Boy DMG, as you'll see in the photos, but nothing too serious!

I can't download the rom version, even though I've downloaded all the other games in the Jam, am I the only one?

The devs gave me the solution, you have to use another browser than firefox, don't ask me why but with chrome it worked for me :p!

Reply
KotzwinkleDeveloper339 days ago(+1)

Yeah, file gets flagged on firefox. I'm not really sure why, but plan to re-export on windows instead of linux post-jam to see if that changes anything. For now, the best solution is to download via chrome.

got it! I just reloaded the new tab with the block message and that worked (!?).

I wasn't expecting this game to feature putting the fear of God into an innocent postman, but considering this is about a goose, maybe I should have. Absolutely a standout game!

Awesome game! The goose animation of joy after eating is so natural! The overall art-style is great! One of the funniest I've played yet!

a cool game here ! just a little problem with the food, we can add more food before it touch the ground, so this speed up the game too fast.

All geese are dirty criminals, including this one. But I'm willing to forgive it all for that precious smile. Adorable game. Love the writing.  Awesome job. Bear/10

the goose is cute. and it's quite hilarious that he can defeat a bear in nature.

in total, i have played this game 3 rounds. the first time, just playing it casually. the second time, only feed him without letting him leave. the third time, i simply don't feed him and use status page to clean poo (the poo disppear when i switch to status page), and this time i get bad ending. i guess the lesson is ... an pet owner can earn trust by simply feeding their pets and stay with them?

Didn't think I was going to befriend a goose today, but here I am! This game was pretty fun with the mechanics being simple but enjoyable to help take care of your goose. One gripe I do have is there is a lot of downtime between doing anything, though I think that might just be because of this genre of game. Also, there was RPG elements... randomly? I don't think I understood what was going on, but hey, that goose now has a new best friend.
