This is an unexpected one. Fighting off flies with a rocket launcher, who could have guessed? I survived till wave 16, not sure if there is an end to the game, but I hope I did well. The game is funny and chaotic, it has a nice upgrading system that creates depth, and the difficulty is ever-rising too! I love seeing that in an endless game. Not to mention that funny voice reading the title "Angry Sheperd!". It's just golden. Good job!
From some criticism, I'd say the choice of not being able to damage the flies via the fly swatter is a very odd choice, as it's the first thing that comes to mind when dealing with flies in real life. Pairing that with the strange hitbox that works half of the time, makes it a very unreliable tool in the game, and I am blaming my losses for it. I will also suggest adding in a bit more visual effect to signify things like explosions, damages and such. These types of polishes will make the player understand more about the game and make the game more enjoyable.
Anyway with that said, this is still a very solid entry. Keep up the good work!
Really fun game! I like the art style, the animals are so cute and the angry shepherd sprite is great. The gameplay is fun and the upgrades between waves kept me engaged and wanting to play more. I felt so bad every time I accidentally rocketed one of my animals, RIP sheepy, you went down for the team. Great work!

ZombulanceI only needed to play this game for a few seconds to grasp its magnificence. For far too long, I have wondered what it would be like to wield a fly swatter and rocket launcher simultaneously. Thanks to this game, I no longer need to wonder. I've lived the dream. Thank you Angry Shepard, you have completed me.

All According To Plan...?That's so sweet you got your son to help out. I don't blame this guy for using a rocket launcher, those flies are super pesky!

The French QuandaryI spent so long smacking the flies until I thought "Maybe the rocket launcher would do a better job"! Haha I had a great time with this game!

Duct Tape & DespairFun game! I didn't realize at first that I had a rocket launcher but the game improved significantly when I did, the fly swatter is very annoying to use but it seems very intentionally so as it really matches how it feels to use one in real life LOL. Upgrades are nice and game overall feels fair and balanced. Visuals are good and the music is a great touch to the levels.
Great work!

Deadwave:Final S.O.SSuper fun game! I loved the one-two combo that the game revolves around. My only critique is that hitting flies with the swatter felt really weird. Did it hit everything in range? or did it have to connect with the graphic? Sometimes it would swat multuple flies, sometimes only one. Other than that, this game is really good and had me playing for ages, well done!

Flawless FortressThanks for playing bluegarrett, rockets hurts the animal so you've got to be careful ;)

This was such a unique game, liked playing

Perfect.EXEThat's pretty fun. I spent a long time swatting flies before it occurred to me to use the rocket launcher.

FactoriohnoVery fun game! I like how straightforward the gameplay loop is, the game is really polished! I really like how the difficulty slowly increases by not only spawning stronger enemies, but also by giving the player new animals to defend. The art is very charming and I really like the sound design! Great job!
