Art style is indeed unique and pleasing, everything red look beautifull and harmonious. I like this kind of games but i'm getting a bit of lag when I try to jump and that makes it a bit tricky and frustrating. \r<br\/>Music is great. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I hope to see more and I'll make sure to follow your Irish Indie Challenge 2013.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>i just noticed in the intro the image of the hand with the button, there's 6 fingers on the hand :D lol"},{"author_name":"iandioch","author_uid":"13363","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 12:01am","epoch":1355874960,"text":"Oh Jesus you're right.

I really like the style and I kinda loved not knowing what the hell was being said, I think it added a nice touch to the game.

The rest of the game is in Irish too :3 I'll upload a post-compo version in English so you can understand the story. I'll add goats to the post-compo version too.\r\nThis was kind of a warmup for my Irish Indie Challenge 2013. You can join in that too! http:\/\/iandioch.wordpress.com\/challenge\/\r\n\r\nSo, enjoy!
