Really fun game, had a lot of laughs. Mechanics are a bit hard, and the game itself is cruel in many ways, but its an enjoyable experience. Loved the ending.

Nice game! It's not quite easy but made it all the way through :)
Nice graphics and game play!!
"Some images are found in the web"
Shouldn't this be a Jam entry, then? The Compo asks that all assets be made by you in the 48 hours.
Nice game! Feels good and great ending xp
But it should be a jam entry, since you used images from the web right?
How can I draw that great ending by myself? I make this for fun in less than 12h, so yes, it maybe be a jam entry, but I dont want to win the compo(neither the jam), its just for fun ;) At least Im sincere with you guys :D
Interesting game, very odd. Made me chuckle :P
It actually was a lot of fun to play this. Some things I wrote down between tries:
* Sometimes you don't get health or ammunition for a long time (due to it being placed randomly) which can make it nearly impossible to win these runs
* The movement mechanics are a bit rough, especially around platform edges
* Sometimes the strange guy-like creatures attack the goat from below by glitching into the platform
* It's actually quite hard to make it to the end
* The cat weapon is hilarious
* It seems to be impossible to jump over the walls, believe me, I've tried
I see... I guess it's ok then. ^^
Btw, thanks for playing my game too!
MY LIFE HAS NO SENSE NOOOOOWWWWWWWW
Solid Entry, audio is a little to high pitched for my tastes.
Creatures just getting more and more, no~~~
Really cool for a first game. Keep making games, you'll get better and better!
Note that I didn't rate graphics as you said that some images were found on the web, so the entry shouldn't be a compo but a jam (I'm guessing you talked about the cat image).
Goat, goat, goat! Kecske! I love goats! \o/
Kind of a hard game, it took several tries to win, but I liked it! :)
A suggestion, though: you shouldn't mix keyboard and mouse controls in a platformer-shooter game like this, because it's confusing. Players would expect that your character would shoot in the direction of the mouse pointer. Either make sure to really shoot in the direction of the mouse pointer, or don't have mouse shoot. This game could be perfectly controllable with a SPACE for shoot.
As you used external resources those are not part of your game maker kit, this should probably really be a Jam entry instead of Compo.
Finally, I must note, this was the only game which could convince me to start up Wine to play it, thus, this is the first Windows-only game I rate. Though next time, please consider making a Linux-native port for Ubuntu gamers like me! :)
