Needs some visual feedback when you hit a goat with a shot ( flashing red etc), and some sound would be great.

Poor goats, why I have to kill them? :-(
Having only one sprite for the goat is not a problem but you could improve animation by flipping it when it goes left or right so goats would not moonwalk after you.
Neat. Some of the goates where unkillable, i retried a few times, so i was unable to get to a 'winning screen'
That killer goat scarred me! Some more visual couldn't hurt - like or effect when you get hit or when you hit goats. Maybe you could also make a game more fast pace because shooting intervals were really slow for me. Goat game with a twist - well done completing the LD48 :)
This game could really use some polish like graphical effects and sounds on hit.
An instruction, that I have to use the mouse to shoot (I though I had to use space, because the menu told me to). It is annoying that I have to click everytime I want to change my direction of fire.
I was also confused, that the goats seemed to have a random amount of hitpoints.
The killer-goat is a nice idea, but he was really easy to kill, since I could run away without him ever closing up to me, maybe a rushattack for the goat, or a stamina-bar for the player could have made it more fun.
I liked your water Animation and simple retro graphicstyle.
I hope this critique does not demotivate you, for a first released game (as you write in your post) this is already very good and I hope you keep your motivation to learn and improve your skills!
i'm sorry but how do i kill the goats?
Thanks to everyone for all the comments and taking the time to play the game. All your suggestions are greatly appreciated and I agree with them all, a lot of them were always intended to go into the game but time got the better of me and I didn't have time to code them.
Interesting idea. The mechanics need some polish. It's hard to aim with the mouse and move with the arrow keys. It'd be nice to have feedback when hitting a goat. Also, the game is not very challenging. There is an HP meter, but I couldn't lose any health.
Nice take on the goats. Neat setting, but everything just needed "more". A little too slow. But congrats on entering. Keep going!
Good: Nice graphics! Liked the water. =)
Improve: Hard to aim :/
Don't like it too much. The shooting are imprecise, takes too long and the 'goat mother' don't die. Don't even know if I'm making progress.
+humor for the initial dialogue :D
I can't see any connection to the theme, other than killing innocent goats (Which is quite evil when i think of it). The gameplay is not that interesting and the lack of sound doesn't do it any better. But you still present a clear idea and a clear objective, and you do it well.
