You can now download the game from our website!

Hey there everyone, we're currently at ToJam 8 (Toronto Game Jam) and we thought we could share what we have so far for our game! It's pretty late into the jam, but we recently made a huge gameplay switch, which is why we haven't posted earlier.

Our game is a multiplayer platformer, juggernaut type of game where all player are trying to steal the sacred goat (kind of a running gag at ToJam) from one another. They do so by quickly dashing in all 4 directions, which makes you go in a straight line until you hit a wall (or decide to double dash in mid-air towards a new direction).

The longer you keep the goat, the more points you make. Hitting the goat holder makes a gold coins explosion equivalent to the amount of points the goat generated for the holder.

Here's what it looks like so far:







You can see an early prototype version of the gameplay here:



Any feedback is welcome, obviously, and we should have more to show soon (yeah, there's still a lot left to do)!

Things that I think would make this a great game:

1)  Customizable characters.

2) Dynamic enviornments.

3)  Variety of game modes.

4)  Power ups/random abilities that show up in game.

5)  Upgrades.

6)  A possibility, with the box style that you have the current preview level it would be cool if you could let players design their own levels.

So far it looks great keep working on it!  ;

The jam just ended, and here's what we have!

I would definitely add some upgrades that help you when you are and aren't holding the goal.  Maybe some way to affect all of your enemies at the same time.  Movement wrapping around the screen would be cool too.  Basically, I think this should be less like BattleBlock Theater and more like Super Mario All-stars Battle Mode.  He he he.  Not many people are aware of that play mode, or are but don't remember but I played the crap outta that game when I was a kid.  Here it is if you don't know what I"m talking about.

a super nice concept of scoring! super funny! definitely keep working on that one!

Man, I am so in love with the animations: The way the characters stretch and squash when they fly - when they collide, the stars that appear briefly over their head. It's all so very smooth and cute.

The first impression is amazing, visuals & sound are awesome and the gameplay looks like a lot of fun. With a few power ups and some additional levels, this would be surely fun to play in the long term too, I definitely have to test it.

Great job!

From the video alone I can tell it's gonna make a great party game.
Love the simple mechanic and scoring system, very unique.

Customization would be great, if so.
Make sure you make tons of heads. <3
