I loved the presentation and the concept. The only problem here is that there was nothing stopping me from spamming the button to generate more goats and the slaughtering everything right away.
Quite honestly, I was just confused and clicking buttons. Eventually anytime I attacked or slaughtered I would win. I couldn't figure out the logic of it. Apparently I was a cruel and leader, since it looks like I got the bad ending. Triforce is a nice touch.
Agree with Datw, I can make goats like a freak and be the emperor in no time.
@MrEvilGuy <3 sorry about those bad dreams!
@Datw @Manuel777 I had to cut down on the feature that would make the game lengthier which also caused the game to be extremely unloseable
Liked it although I never lost a battle. I'm not even sure if you can. After the second town I had 125% on slaughter.
Good concept, and I liked the idea of THE EVIL GOAT KING KILLING ALL THE HUMANS, but it was a bit too easy - could have done with some resource management mechanics or something
The goat texture and story are pretty funny, but the gameplay is somewhat confusing (it is unclear if there are any limits to goat creation).
I am the goat emperor! Could make it more of a challenge, maybe add some turn based choices during the battles?
The instructions were not helpful, but I figured it out pretty quickly. There wasn't much stopping me from just spamming goats and conquering. I did enjoy the game's humor.
Ugh well that was a bit easy. The sense of humor was to die for though!
The game was pretty funny, for me at least. The audio was great though overall it took me awhile to figure out the controls.
Thanks for checking out the game guys, and I'll take your feedback in account when I get to work on this again!
Haha loved the idea. A little bit too easy though but good fun :)
haha goat empire, had some issues with the more goats button
Like civilization, but with goats. I could make goats a bit too easy.
Interesting idea, the game is pretty easy though because you can just make lots of goats and slaughter everything in instant.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
REMEMBER: The “Theme” category is only for the main theme (You are the Villain). Don’t penalize for not using Goats.
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
We’ve identified the problem, and should have the page caching bugs fixed for next Ludum Dare.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
The music was great! It took me awhile to realize I could scroll around the world map. I'm going to have nightmares about goats and goat-emperors tonight.
