Gong
Goat pong.
Made for the "STOP WAITING FOR GODOT" gamejam hosted by terry cavanagh. the art is a little not fitting because it was actually made for what i planned to make at first, which was a plants vs zombies. i realized the night the jam began, holy shit, thats waaay too much for me. my partner said to slow my roll, and she suggested pong and that's what i did. i repurposed the assets my friend drew for "Goats vs Pilots". the miner goat icon was supposed to be the sunflower equivalent, the pistol goat was supposed to be like a pea shooter, and the ram was supposed to be a wall-nut. the stage background still has the tiles because i didnt export a png without the tiles and i thought it was a funny reminder of what i thought i'd be making. i think im gonna go forward with this and make it into a pong fighting game, like windjammers or rivals of aether tetherball. wanna add different characters and abilities, + stuff games need for the basics.

Install instructions
On windows, just unzip and double click the executable.
On linux, i assume unix execute perms stick when downloading a file but if that's not true (i cant tell) then youll want to chmod 777 the executable or right click it and enable execution in your file browser of choice. then double click and enjoy!

where can i find the music? sounds really nice and p fun game in general, being able to make the ball literally go mach speed in the corner is hella fun
Really cool! I enjoyed it a lot. I really like the art style you chose to go with.
Nice, I love this little game. The last point of the round was nutz, the other goat got the ball wedged on top of him and the top edge of the map and the speed rocketed. The ball went mock5 and I somehow won that round. Pretty sure this could've been a game breaking glitch, but I loved it all the same.
thanks for playing, i appreciate it ! that bug rocks lol. its a result of using capsules as colliders instead of rectangles, + i didnt use move_and_collide for the goats i just changed their position variable by myself. i fixed it but i left the whole "ball getting stuck" thing in because i thought it was a funny way to force the ball to gain speed. in 1.1 you can actually softlock by pushing the ball straight out of the field, that's why i added the ESC key to return to the menu! love game development
nice game!
ty!
