A bit short but stellar visuals.  The gameplay could be a bit more interesting ex. making pushing the cannonballs around a puzzle to get them stacked or you can't retouch a place you already cleaned.

Hi Reabs, thanks for playing and for the feedback! I agree, when I was initially designing it, I was trying to have the player mop tiles twice when mopping to create a more gradual feel, and wanted to incorporate a complex push puzzle for the cannonballs. However, for some reason I wasn't able to get the programming to work, so I had to simplify the gameplay. If I remake it, will definitely try to add these in. Thanks again!

I love the concept and the name of the game.  The art and music fit the retro theme really well, and if I didn't know any better I would have thought this was an actual game boy game. For the most part I didn't really understand the in-game story and instructions, and I wish the screen was bigger. The game is also way too short. I just need more of that goat!

Developer

Thanks! :) Yeah due to other scheduled items I had only a couple of days to put this together and that definitely influenced the scope. I can definitely see how the visual instructions from the pirate power point presentations weren't as clear, especially with no dialogue. Might remake it in the future as an SNES version.  Thanks for checking it out!

I think I want the goat :(

Goat is best. Goat is legend

Nice art and concept! A bit short though

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, I wasn't sure how long it should be. I kept on thinking about other potential chores the goat could do: raising the pirate flag, scouting for land, etc. But in the end liked ending it with 3, supposedly that's a magic number. Tri-force!

nice pixel art! 

Developer

Thank you! Yeah, the assets by sonDanielson and 0x72 are great, and then putting them together with my own assets, I always feel it's like Legos.

Short but really nice!

Developer

Thank you! That was the goal, glad it kinda turned out!

I loved this game. The limitation is used nicely, the concept is fun and the length is really good. The game looks really nice and I would like for this to become a larger game.

Developer

Thank you! I really appreciate that! Maybe it will become a larger game in the future with the goat acting more like a goat: eating the map, pushing cannon balls into the water, you know basic goat stuff.

A Gameboy game? <3 I loved this game! Need more. How did you come up with this?

Developer

Thank you! Yeah it's created in GB Studio which is great. As for the game, it was kinda like looking in a fridge when you're looking for something to cook after exploring and finding the assets. Saw the boat, thought of a goat = Goat on Boat :)
