About the game

Angry Shepherd is an arcade game where you're trying to get rid of flies with a swatter and a rocket launcher.

Swatter doesn't kill flies, it only pushes them away.

Nothing will go wrong...

Protect your herd, not kill it. Collect coins, upgrade your gear.

Let's GO!

Controls

Move using the WASD keys on your keyboard. Aim with your mouse.

Left-click to sway the swatter. HOLD and release the right click to fire rockets.

ah yes, the intense of this game really matches the background music =)), I like the sense of humor of this game chasing flies while dressing like Rambo XD and the sound effects for some reason fit well with the gameplay. Fun and INTENSE GAMEPLAY, I like it

Thanks! <3

woah! Addictive gameplay and beautifully made for a 1-week game. I love the game overall! I would recommend adding a tutial level or key binds in the start because it took me a while to figure out that right click did something.

Overall, a fantastic creation by you guys!

Thank you, Disco! We did not have the time to add a tutorial, but you have a background picture of the embedded game that gives you a few hints. I'm going to try yours!

With the overall ease of execution, the game is very addictive, by the way, I lasted until the 20th wave :)

Thanks! You're a very good fly hunter!
