Oh no, there are so many Goons! And they are all coming for you! There is only one thing you can do obviously. Turn them into various weapons of mass-destruction such as...an egg?!
'Goons' is a survival-like arena game, where you have to kill all the enemies that spawn from various points on the map. To kill them, use your environment to your advantage! With glorious ragdoll physics, this game is a real piece of pure fun for your casual needs.
Pure fun indeed! I played all 3 levels and had a blast. Nice art, sound and gameplay, very satisfying experience. My favourite object to use was the fan, I think. :)
Hi there,
very well executed!
70MB download size is large, but it was worth it. The core mechanics are well executed and it is quite satisfyingto crush a bunch of enemies with a big car *diabolic laughter*. The graphics style is very nice.
The Music is well done, though the shooting sound is a little bit weak.
The idea to use the color of the shirts as a health bar is brilliant and works great, even in crowded levels.
I had some minor graphic glitches in level 2, but they disappeared again.
All in all: nice game!
Great game, the idea of turning enemies into objects was a lot of fun. The visual style was very clear and consistent, but I had some tiny frame rate issues on the 3rd stage.
Love the mechanic, great job in the time available. I especially liked using the balloons on people. I would've liked to be able to to use the gun a a fully automatic weapon though.
Really good!
The game should be developed in future, because it could be a hit!
Good mechanics, good gameplay, laggy third level :D
But still a very good game, pure fun
Well done, cool concept although I find it kinda hard to be aware of all that's going on around the player. Some sounds to notify us of an approaching enemy would be nice, for example.
Amazing game, had so much fun playing it. The levels were challenging, idea was unique and the graphics were cool as well. Good job! (also I like the Wilhelm scream in there, gotta put it in some of my future games as well)
First time I played this game I was surprised at how generic the gameplay was, especially considering the work that went into the graphics and audio. Then I realised that I could change enemies into the objects I was picking up. The game became pretty damn awesome after that.
Many different objects with different characteristics (liked how I could shoot the extinguisher for extra damages), multiple and varied levels and kind of enemies... Fun indeed!
Hi, nice game ! We're realizing a video with several games of the Ludum Dare #35.
Can you add your game on indiexpo.net ? (it's free)
So we can include also your game in the video ;)
p.s. write #LDJAM in the game's description
Freank, after trying to upload my game to that site, I can confidently say that it is a joke. There is size limitation on both describtion (380 characters?! this isnt twitter...) and game size, despite using an external link. So as much as it pains me to say, please download the game from here.
To everybody else, I'm glad you all are enjoying our little game. Keep the comments coming, it keeps us content creators fed and watered :D
Fun game, nice take on the theme. I would have liked an intro level or tutorial because I had to restart several times until I understood the mechanics.
Good job!
It's clever how ennemies turn to red when they loose life and how they die. I also like smashing goons when i transform them in cars, or others interactive objetcs when goons are shapeshifted. The player's death animation is pretty cool but i do not think it belongs in this game, it does not feel quite like a death and it took me some time to understand it.
The difficulty curve is quite good, and without running it seems impossible. The imprecision of the gun was a little frustrating but it would be so easy with a precise gun.
Level 3 was a little laggy with my laptop but it's playable.
Neat game, I really like the graphics and the shape shifting mechanics. They work super well, and you can set up some interesting traps with them. I wish the gun was a little more accurate though, but maybe it's like that to make the player use the shapeshifting.
very well executed!
