Why does the goat have 3 phases?!

Still beat it though

im playing this game so much im memorizing attacks

(1 edit)

also can you make a pause button

I had purple cornered and he just kept dodging my attacks for 30 seconds. How do I make that not happen?

How to consistently make enemies vulnerable, can't hit the goat because he just armors through my attacks or dodges them, and sometimes i hit bosses but they also sometimes just dodge

love the final boss phase 2, have yet to beat

i beat it without light hits OR heavy hits i love how the game almost can't be too hard or too easy

This game is awesome. I got so into it so quick. Super intense, fun mashing, I'm not entirely sure what I"m doing but I don't really care. Thanks for making it!

this game is really fun, I'd love to see more content

the goat is a tryhard however Trick Blast is mashable and in that case he cant do anything while knocked in the air. however due to my skill issue I can only mash for so long. also fix the issue where when you beat the goat you cant attack anymore

(1 edit)

Not just when you beat the GOAT, if you fail on the GOAT, it still happens sometimes.

EDIT: I figured out how to fix it, you just press enter again.

8/10 

My feeling about game

I hate when the Final Boss(The GOAT) teabagging me.

Made in 8 days? damn bro you are so good at this


About gameplay

you can see at 8:50-9:05 that i just die and not even get up and i got kill again, if it have some Invincibility Frame during animations would be great!

Quick question

1.where can i find Music or ost of this game?

2.About boss name why are they named like that?

(+1)

Hey! thanks for playing!
Yeah, I wanted the goat to "act" arrogant, so I added a few things it can do just to troll you (the rose and tbagging)

The music was made by Kelarima for the jam! I can ask her to upload it somewhere if you'd like!

The bosses are named after what they are!
Trickster's moveset is based off the trickster style in the DMC series, being able to dash and teleport around the map
Powerhouse is named that since he attacks the hardest and the fastest, so he has "power"
GOAT is named both as a joke on the phase G.O.A.T (greatest of all time) and also is a joke to with his nameplate
(The nameplates dont actually say the name, they say something else)

yes please i would love to hear the music
