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! :)

I love how the legs always land! Great game!

Now I know one more scientific fact: goats turn into balls in presence of trees. Interesting!

Really fun and cute game. I wish the goat was a little less floaty but overall super adorable!

A great concept and a fun little game. Love the puzzle designs especially when the press r for restart came up i thought "i dont need that i know exactly what i have to do" followed by me getting stuck and an "you got me" moment. Also love the way the goats body changes to match the terrain!

This was pretty interesting! I like the idea of losing control when you're a ball, but moving as the goat was a bit annoying (especially those annoying edges on some levels!)

Good job, though!

Very wacky idea! I originally expected something like Yoku's Island Express, but this was quite different.

I had some early problem with ledges (the goat's foot would always get stuck on one), but some practice made that work, and got me a fairly speedy goat as well. Quite tricky too. :)

Good level design teaching correctly the mechanics of the game. Maybe the goat movements are a little bit slow but overall, it controls greatly.

Great job !

Lovely game! Fun puzzles, great artstyle, interesting mechanics. I've been intrigued by the game the moment you posted progress on Discord and rightfuly so :D

Really solid entry, I like the idea of having control, only to lose it when you shoot at the tree. I really liked how the goat in goat form felt, how it actually had legs and wasnt just a solid sprite, really polished goat for a Jam game. Good stuff

Thanks, glad you liked it! I spend half my time on the goat itself

I liked the artstyle and the movement was really good (the goat's legs always landing was satisfying). Simple but not too easy :)

Amazing game! The level design was great and the way which the goat landed and the legs would react realistically was great too! And yes: I do realise I am talking about realism in a game where goats turn into bouncy balls... Loved the game! Overall, I really enjoyed playing!

Very funny premise! And fun game play as well! The ending was cute :) great job!
