How does the game fit the theme?
You have to protect your herd from flies with a rocket launcher. What could go wrong?
What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We did not make the music, it's an assets bought on Humble Indie Bundle.

Great game with a system of upgrade, it adds a lot to the longetivity, I think i will try that this summer to see if it's more efficient!
Hey Quentin ! Thanks for playing our game, glad you enjoyed! Yours is so funny !
I come from the countryside and I remember how annoying were those bugs. Stable and polished game. I like game with highscore mechanic and progression. Progression gives a lot for these games, so you have to think all the time about the right strategy. Good pixel art and overall gameplay!
Thanks Manwiththeredhat for this kind review !
Really enjoyed that. Such a fun take on a horde/persistent battler. The swatter was a fun tool to use and rockets were a comical touch. I think I shot my own flock more then the actual flies lol. Really well done. GG.
Hello {mentalmonk3y}, thank you very much for playing our game :)! I reviewed yours and left you a comment ;)
Cool and fun gameplay! Also SFX and voicing is epic :D
You did a great job with rocket launcher, but the flyswatter control is bad. It’s not intuitive where is your attack collider and it is not feels right at the moment. I think you need some tweaking with that. My guess would be to place collider closer to the character or make some indication (dotted circle as aim indication, full circle as performing attack).
Overall, nice game! Was fun to play.
I think I killed a fly with a bazooka :P
Well done, I did not find any bug. It was a little hard to hit with the racket at the beginning, but then with the power-ups things got easier… until I destroyed my pig with a massive blast area! I was expecting more visual effects from it, but for 7 days it is delightful :)
Yes the game lacks a lot of visual feedback but I can't update it for now. We'll certainly work on another version after the ratings ends :)
Killing flies has never been more fun
Thanks for playing :) !
I really liked the game, I kept blowing up my own animals with the rocket launcher because pancake brain goes poof :D also, I can't aim at all lol :)
Thanks a lot for hosting Angry Shepherd on your livestream; that means a lot to us. Would you be interested in scoring challenges with other live streamers?

Amazing game! The combination of a fly swatter and a rocket launcher was really fun, and I appreciated the attention to detail in how the animal remains stayed. The pixel art was fantastic!
Hagi42, thanks for your review :), it means a lot to us! I tried your cool magic trick game and left you a comment ;)
A neat game! The controls were decent and didnt feel too janky, Love the audio (especially the kid's random chip ins :3) I think the only thing that could be improved is perhaps the swatting cause sometimes it felt as if i was missing the flies despite hovering right over them with the swatter. But great game overall!
Haha this makes Angry Shephers a simulation game as swatting flies in real life can be hard too ^^Tahnks for the review, I'll test your game asap!
This was strangely captivating. I'd love to see more from you guys!
Thanks for trying our game CosmosPanda! Good job on yours too!! I tried it and left you a comment!
This game is so cute! I think adding some feedback, like a sound effect or visual change, when holding and releasing rockets would really enhance the game feel!
Other than that, everything's great! :D
Thanks for your kind comment! I totally agree that the rocket charge and impact are lacking visual and sound feedback. These kinds of feedback tremendously increase the game's fun.
What a fun game! The art and sound effects were great!
Thanks amthyscent! I liked your game too! (I felt at the speedy platform that reaches the sky!)
This game is awesome! I blew up my sheep on wave 13, after losing a pig and a cow. I love the art, audio, and gameplay. Awesome Idea! gg
Thanks a lot Kazm! Poor animals ^^ Flies got what they deserved!
It was good, really loved the fly swatter into rocket combo! overall it was good but the flyswatter felt off at times. Sound effects were fun and the gameover sound effect was adorable xD, reached to wave 29, Congrats :)
Wow, Wave 29, that's great! Thanks for your kind comment. Swatting is quite hard at first, especially if you are too close to the fly. Fly has to be between the red line and the player (the collider is a cone) so the most effective hit area is near the line because it's larger.
yeah I had seen an earlier comment about it so I was making sure i was hitting them near the line but I believe sometimes i would see the swipe sprite over the fly and nothing happened.. i could be wrong though since its fast paced.
It's good! Very simple and cohesive experience. I would've liked the fly swatter to work a little better but other than that its straightforward and a fun little game.
You have to put a little distance between the player and the fly you target. The cone of the collider is too thin at the player pivot but will enlarge to the red line. I have to find a way to make this easier, but flies are not so easy to swat in real life, so it's also kind of realistic haha ^^ Any ideas are welcome, as we certainly intend to pursue development after the jam rating period ends.
Simple idea, but very well executed, everyting is clear & of course I need to say that I love the sound effects!
Thanks, Foenixix! Louis is very glad to know people like his work. :)
cool and fun game! like the sounds :D
Thanks qd9 for your your feedback ;)! I tried your slime game and left you a comment!
It was challenging and very fun to play, great job!
