The Unstable'd Unicorn by Rrrobi

[raw]
made by Rrrobi for Ludum Dare 49 (JAM)

You are a poor unstabled unicorn, when a friendly craftsman offers to build you a home if you bring him the resources. BEWARE the evil goats on your travels, they don't think anything with less than 2 horns deserves a place to call home, and so are guarding the resources to keep you from them!

Controls: wasd or Arrow keys to move Space to jump

Pick up planks(run over them), put them in the crate at the building site(run over it) Jump on goats to kill them. Don't let them walk into you, you can only take 3 hits!

Nice little platformer!

Took me about 20 attempts to beat it :).

PLEASE!!! Add a restart button!!! ^^ I hat to start the exe 20 times :)

### To the game itself

- nice sprites and animations
- the rams were sometimes spawning right inside of me, which was a bit sad to lose a life this way
- I focused in the one ram at the left and the 2 rams at the right to finally beat it since their moving pattern allowed me to grab the wood
- at attempt 12 I realized I can jump on the rams to beat them. Although that is a known game mechanic, a little info on the start screen would have been nice ^^

I had fun playing your game! Keep it up!

How long did it take you to build it?

I have a couple of suggestions:
- Add a button that restarts the game. (in unity you can do this by loading the current scene. This is the command:

`UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.LoadScene(UnityEngine.SceneManagement.SceneManager.GetActiveScene().buildIndex);`

or, you could add

`using UnityEngine.SceneManagement;`

to the top and just use this command:

`SceneManager.LoadScene(GetActiveScene().buildIndex);`


- It would be nice if the platforms that spawn goats had a slightly different look, that way I could know to be careful of them so they don't spawn on top of me without warning.

Completed my stable :) I liked smooth character controls, cute arts and the idea of building the stable. Really missed some sound effects, but besides that the game feels solid! Great job!

I'd love to have a way to restart the game without having to restart THE game. overall it's solid, I took me embarrassingly long to realize I could double jump (que cuphead review flashback) but I got the hang of it after a while! good job!

This was a small and fun game to play. Visuals are quite nice a fitting well together. Restart button would be really much appreciated. Also the spawning system is quite unforgiving. Sometimes they spawn right on top of you without any chance to know beforehand or react. A grace period would be nice where they don't hit you for 1s after spawn. Overall nice an fun game. Congrats
