Good idea but the quirks pretty much make it not fun to play, there is not really anything to do and i could keep killing these horses for a few minutes without the game actually being hard to play.

Hey this is our first Ludum Dare too! Nice game you have there, but it could use some improvements, try to add a score and some sounds, it would make the game a lot better!
We're first-time Ludum Darers too! With some sound, and some fixes (I have been blocked by invisible walls), it can be cool.
@laytanl @joschi @chocolat-endive Thanks so much for the feedback! I did intend on adding a score counter and some sort of currency to unlock upgrades and better weapons, but I ran out of time. I may come back and do that later as a separate update now that the Jam has ended. The invisible walls are another thing I wanted to fix, I know whats causing them, but I didnt have a chance to implement it in time. I'll have to look into coming back when I have time and adding an update to add/fix some things.
Pretty good for a first ludum dare, nice idea. However as you pointed out yourselves, the game is clearly buggy and needs some serious polish in order to be fun. I don't have many things to tell you as you probably know them already. You should opt-out audio as there is no audio in your game. I do hope you learned a lot by creating this game for your future LD. Good job :)
Congrats on your first Ludum Dare! Good to hear you might come back to this. Keep it up.
@mrsylar59 Thanks for your feedback! I definitely learned a lot by creating this game, hopefully I can manage to add more polish on my next game in the next jam, but for now I'll definitely be looking into fixing this one up once I've got the time for it.
@robo-chiz Thanks!
Great game! Concept is very innovative and unique. I love the weapon ideas! More visual effects, such as screenshake, would assist in making the game feel more satisfying and enjoyable to play. I'd recommend looking at a talk called "The Art of Screenshake." Sounds would also assist in improving the gameplay. Overall, a really innovative and unique game. Good work! :)
@megalink I'll have to check that out. Thanks for the suggestion and feedback!
I like the concept, the shooting style is well done here. Although my one gripe is that I wish the cursor didn't blend into the background of the level. Well done!
@comenoha Thanks! The cursor wasn't intended to blend into the background, theres supposed to be a crosshair sprite. For whatever reason, the crosshair works in the editor and I didnt have a problem with it until I built the game right before the jam ended, so I didnt have time to fix it.
Nice game, Love how everything is balanced! Good luck, Don't forget to take a look at ours if you don't mind and see what it's like when we just focused on graphics in this game jam! Game Link: https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/42/spacelab-42a
