Nice idea and pleasant art style. Music is rather annoying.
I got the goat to 700-something meters (and I envy this goat a bit, since this is not easy IRL to move up for relative 700 meters).
Had some technical issues (played a downloadable build on a Mac). At game start, balls appear and disappear, but are not rolling down the mountain. Which makes it a lot harder to avoid the blue ones (I hate those anyway, since they are too close to each other). And despite them not rolling down they still do hurt from bottom... Also when they move down, they are a slideshow - one turn in a few seconds or something.
But they somehow weren't broken for me all the time, so I could play the game for a while, until it hanged (I guess you forgot to call free/queue_free on the ball nodes).
This definitely has "goat" something unique in it!
Very entertaining concept and original visuals. Good job :)
Fun game! really gives me vibes of those flash games I used to play
Unusually fast pased game but difficulty is fair. Controls seem responsive. Good work there!
Got up to 1474! Great job - I tried out an earlier build of this, and I really like the improvements. The day/ night cycle is a cool and creative touch that prevents it from getting tedious. I was initially going to complain that the falling snow (ice?) part of the cycle was unfair, but I realized it was a skill issue :D A very well-scoped project for this jam.
I liked your idea. It was unusual indeed. I also liked the pixel art, if you did it yourself - really great job. My record is 550m (it was difficult for me T-T).
Nice take on the theme! I just encountered some problems since the boulders were quite laggy and jagging around (but you mentioned that before, so no worries). I think with a bit more polishing and fixing of the memory issues this one could be great fun!
It may not seem like much, but this game is really fun to play and pretty addictive. The mechanics and controls feel good as well. Well done!
This game is very fun to play and overall a good game. More overview to the right would be great.
simple game and fun!!!! I only got 888m with a mistake, I think I can jump over 1000m next time!!!
Really nice game!!!
made me remember the old newground games. love the music and the sun animation.
Thanks for playing! I did the love the old newgrounds, it seems it continues to inspire :)
Stylish game! Music and art fit perfectly with the gameplay, my record is 1492 :)
Impressive high score! Thanks for playing!
I had so much fun playing this ! It's such a great entry, congrats :)
Cute and fun game. I really like the art style. I got absolutely crushed by the precipitation and never really got into a smooth avalanche after that, but it felt like a decent difficulty balance. Well done!
Got to 1393m before the physics engine started really stuttering like crazy. Really lovely little game with a great feeling when you get multiple perfect jumps / double jumps in a row. Loved the mood / graphics / atmostphere with the night change, and variation of snow balls. I wish there was more! Great job!
Thanks for playing, and for sharing your high score! Glad you liked it :)
Nice jump feel, loved the double jump. It's hard to get out of being crushed once it starts. I guess maybe that's realistically what it's like to get rolled over :( Overall really nice and simple concept.
Really nice gameplay ! Loved trying to get a higher score.
very cool idea and few fun. had a few issues at the stat with balls growing inside each other. but once I got past that i got really far. A bit of polish (and maybe a better 2d physics engine like you mentioned) and this game has a ton of potential . I had a lot of fun with it
I finally managed to go beyond 1000 m but it wasn't easy and with 1102 m I didn't go much higher! ^^
Very good game, very fun, it's also very beautiful, I love the parralax cardboard effect in the background, it looks really good. Great job! :D
