The whole application doesn't work too well with multiple screens but that'd mean lots of changes. The goose can chase my cursor on my other screen but isn't visible.
I love this little goose. Only problem is I cant figure out how to get him to make sound. I can hear his little waddles but hes never honked or made the biting noise. How would i fix this?
I'm dissappointed that i got pretty happy to see this, but it doesn't support mac. Great work with this though, I loved seeing the reactions on twitter :)
Hi there. I found a bug when you exit the game while the goose has your mouse, then your mouse will be stuck in place until you get the game to open again (easy fix if you know how to use keyboard shortcuts, but still a bug)
I swear I saw a demo of Catz running on a 90's Mac once where they could grab and throw your cursor around, and this is the first thing to remind me of that in probably 15 years. I wonder why desktop pets fell completely out of vogue.
Almost works perfectly in Wine! The only part that doesn't render properly are the memes that get dragged onto the screen. They just fully appear over top of the goose until it is 95% done dragging.
This is pretty great! Pro-tip: You can run the app a couple times to spawn more geese, but each goose added eats up more CPU (on my computer, each goose was eating 20% CPU usage). Maybe optimize this?
I've also noticed on a multi-monitor setup, the goose appears only on the main screen. It can travel to the other monitors if it is chasing your mouse, but you can't see it on the other monitor.
This is really neat and I hope to see more updates!
Multi monitor 'support' is... well... I can poke, and chase mode is activated, but the goose just disappears when he goes over to the other monitor. Hilariously, the goose can still grab my mouse, and drag it back! And, when dragging Memes in from the other side, it shows the meme on the monitor, no goose.
so far this is amazing and I love it but it takes so much out of my computer I don't think I am able to play games with it. but still fun to have while doing work and stuff.
This is really cool! I couldn't get into it because I don't own a computer, only a chromebook. In a future update it would be cool to have it for multiple devices. But from the video that I seen on twitter it looks really cool and I wanna try it.
Im not sure if you are joking or really don't know that google warns you on anything that it does not know. It does not mean that it is a virus but just that Google can't and will not take any blame IF it is a virus.... which it is not
Works surprisingly well through WINE despite not being designed to run on Linux. It isn't properly able to steal the mouse (though it can bite it and disable mouse input for a time), but the Goose can bring you memes and write you notes no problem. Did crash after running for about 20 minutes, not quite sure why.
it's hilarious i mean this is great and all but just wondering is this like spyware???? i mean not that paranoid but still I'd rather not have you take my credit card number it's a lot of trouble to get it fixed by the bank or whatever.....

how do i actually change goose’s aggressiveness, i open config and it says False how do i change it specifically?
i assume it's True/False, if the goose stops working after that just change it to false again
im waiting for the day i can use it on my chromebook ):
Does this work with chromebook?
Idea- goose should scroll the page your on randomly
Maybe if your typing something it starts writing stuff?
clicking on goose should do something- maybe flap its wings?
Overall, 10/10. Havent seen a real virtual buddy thing in quite some time
Might you be able to add the dynamic link library: mscoree.dll
in order for the program to run on older versions of Windows?
Trying to put this on my friend's PC but it's running Windows 2000
I got so excited when I saw this, bu when I got on I wasn't able to use the goose because it doesn't support Mac :(
New feature Idea: When the goose starts chasing your cursor, if you make it spin it should get dizzy for 1-2 seconds.
Does this work on a chromebook?
idk i have a chormebook too and i want to use it
No, it is only for windows.

I love this little goose. Only problem is I cant figure out how to get him to make sound. I can hear his little waddles but hes never honked or made the biting noise. How would i fix this?
I was able to get the sound working, have you checked your computer's overall sound settings?

Just a false positive.
if you look in the comments of the virustotal page I written up the reason av flags it.

I think you should be able to (very rarely) kill the goose. Then things will move by themselves, you are now haunted by a poltergoose!
I would love it if you were able to take the goose and lock it to a different screen or make it able to travel to multiple screens
Sounds like bonzi buddy with extra steps lol
i love it even though its being a little brat
Im a bit unfamiliar to this, is it like a game I can turn off at any time? Because if so I am 100% downloading it.
Yes you can, to exit the game just hold the esc key for about 5 seconds. You will not regret this. Downloading this was the best decision of my life
thank you
yes you can just hold down esc for a few seconds when you want him back you have to re go to the file tho but it very easy

I love this i'm laughing so hard
A few suggestions - Make the goose pause your music or videos
There is a .00001 percent chance the goose will build a portal to the Gooseverse and let in 20 or so geese
When you don't move your mouse, the goose will either honk a ton or just take it to a random place
I really enjoy this, thanks for making this i love it
I swear I saw a demo of Catz running on a 90's Mac once where they could grab and throw your cursor around, and this is the first thing to remind me of that in probably 15 years. I wonder why desktop pets fell completely out of vogue.
fantastic, and very beautiful!
Only problem is that when the Goose goes to get a meme, it crashes my whole computer, how do I fix this?
Almost works perfectly in Wine! The only part that doesn't render properly are the memes that get dragged onto the screen. They just fully appear over top of the goose until it is 95% done dragging.
Any possibility for mac support?
This is pretty great!
Pro-tip: You can run the app a couple times to spawn more geese, but each goose added eats up more CPU (on my computer, each goose was eating 20% CPU usage). Maybe optimize this?

hehe it only uses around 6-10% for me so
true
how i close? :")
hold esc for about 10 seconds... its in the read me
Hold esc, It has more instructions in ReadMe! Honk.txt
Is this SFW?
Yes.
Nice to know this isn't a virus
amazing. Volume slider would be great.
i love this funky man. i was writing a screenplay and he helped motivate me. thank you goose
after downloading it, how do i get rid of it
Read the readme.
very cute, what other functions do you plan on adding to the goose? open folders on the desktop? press a keyboard key on honk?
Multi monitor 'support' is... well... I can poke, and chase mode is activated, but the goose just disappears when he goes over to the other monitor. Hilariously, the goose can still grab my mouse, and drag it back! And, when dragging Memes in from the other side, it shows the meme on the monitor, no goose.
We need more toys for Goos to interact with!
you can get a toy pack mod for the goose
it's been working amazing, but my cpu usage jumps immediately from 6% to 90% which is simply unacceptable, i don't know if this is issue is only mine
its only yours i guess, what computer do you have
Mine does too, I think it's Windows trying to compensate for windows over windows
hehe it only uses around 6-10% for me so
so far this is amazing and I love it but it takes so much out of my computer I don't think I am able to play games with it. but still fun to have while doing work and stuff.
10/10 would untitle this game again
This is really cool! I couldn't get into it because I don't own a computer, only a chromebook. In a future update it would be cool to have it for multiple devices. But from the video that I seen on twitter it looks really cool and I wanna try it.
chromebook allows you to enable linux mode where you can install wine and try it
best virus ever.
please add launch on startup setting.
I really apriciate that google is warning me that this app is dangerous to download
Im not sure if you are joking or really don't know that google warns you on anything that it does not know. It does not mean that it is a virus but just that Google can't and will not take any blame IF it is a virus.... which it is not
For launch on startup windows 10 has a folder which will launch all the shortcuts you put in it at launch, more details Here
thanks
pleas release version for mac!

mate you’d be scared how easily it is to do that sort of stuff on a computer. No real need to worry, it ain’t that bad. :)
ya i know how easy it is but ok not like i have anything important anyways
