Goatscape is a Minesweeper-like casual puzzle game, in which you play as Alvin the Goat. In this game, you traverse across minefields scattered throughout the Hawaiian islands. During your travels, you will be defusing the bombs left over from U.S. military training, and finding your ohana in these areas. As you travel, you have the option to either save your family or just find  your way home, but be careful of mines along the way! 

Our game is meant to tell our story about the bombs littering our islands and its effect on the land. However, instead of making a sad and downbeat game, we decided to focus more on the attempts to clean up the areas and how these projects have brought people and communities together. Our inspiration started with Kaho‘olawe, and how goats were setting off these unexploded devices.
