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 :)"},{"author_name":"Nehmulos","author_uid":"9775","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 7:07pm","epoch":1355943720,"text":"This game could really use some polish like graphical effects and sounds on hit.\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>I was also confused, that the goats seemed to have a random amount of hitpoints.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>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.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I liked your water Animation and simple retro graphicstyle. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>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!"},{"author_name":"sharbelfs","author_uid":"3689","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 7:11pm","epoch":1355943960,"text":"i'm sorry but how do i kill the goats?"},{"author_name":"Taffaz","author_uid":"19054","time":"Dec 20, 2012 @ 4:54pm","epoch":1356022140,"text":"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."},{"author_name":"ceronman","author_uid":"4896","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 2:15pm","epoch":1356099000,"text":"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."},{"author_name":"goulding57","author_uid":"18642","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 7:21pm","epoch":1356117360,"text":"Nice take on the goats.
