Well at the current state it is I lost when I start I'll come back later ._.
Fixed! The code that was looking if there were any surviving goats to make you lose was running before goats were added. haha
May i ask, What did you use to create the 2D Sprites, and what (if any) Asset did ou use to manage those on Unity? Some SpriteManager?
@SumX: I used this: http://www.famitsu.com/freegame/tool/chibi/index1.html (Dated back from the times I used RPG Maker) to create the human characters, and built my simple SpriteManager (see source of game) that allows for basic animation by UV switching.
The manager is simple: drop it in a GameObject, select spritesheet and dimensions in cells, put a Transparent kind of material and you're done. There's some obviously-named public methods for hooking into anything you would need (animation management, etc).
I love the art style, that's what I was planning on going for. I was a little lost on the gameplay, and I wasn't too sure about the theme until I realized I could beat up the eskimos by running into them :)
The music alone is worth playing this game. I didn't hear anything like it since the frog song in Botanicula.
But it lacks actions, clear goals. A sword to slay the villagers would help, or a pen where I can lead the goat in to be safe.
@TomK32: Thanks! I might do a post-compo version with the pen you suggested, however I kind of disagree on the matter of swords since you play as the Goatman, and goats attack by ramming at menaces. Possibly even a 2-player version!
The graphics are nice and I liked the gameplay where you use momentum to damage the villagers. I didn't like the music.
Neat idea. Smashing the villagers was fun. Weird music :).
Nice graphics and cool gameplay. Not sure if it fits the theme though
that was refreshing! Sprites are nice too! the music was a bit stressing though...

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
2d sprites in a 3d game nicely made :)
Long time no seen such a game
