Really fun game! I would love to see more enemies that could make you change the repetitive strategy of swat and shoot! Overall nice game great job!
Thanks for the feedback about ennemies VassilisVas! I tried your game and loved the idea, i left you comment :)
Super fun and wholesome game! Great concept, balanced difficulty, and awesome pixel art and SFX. A bit of polish on controls and pacing would make it even better
Thanks for trying our game, glad you enjoyed it! I tried yours too and left you a comment ;)
It’s a very fun game. The difficulty level is just right. The pixel art visuals and SFX feel spot-on. Really enjoyable!
Eit_wc thanks for the review, i tried your game too and left you a comment ;)
The little laugh after "Game Over" is the best part! Somehow I felt better losing.
Great work team, I wish my dad got me into game dev at that age. It's like the coolest toy you could hope for <3
Animal (tower) Defence! made it to wave 11 :D
I love the concept and execution. Maybe need a little polish on the swat control and the pacing could use something that make it not repetitive (swat the animal > rocket > repeat) maybe more difference variance of the enemy? like wolf that walk slow but deal massive damage that you can swat to slow it even more. Overall amazing game, just need more than a week of development to shine brightly :D
Also love the sound effect XD
Hey Muhammad, thanks for playing our game and for your interesting review and suggestion. Will try your game and leave you a comment ;)
The game felt very wholesome, the gameplay didn't feel as smooth with the switching between the swatter and rocket launcher but overall was a nice experience.
Thanks for playing and for your review iguessfive ! It helps us a lot. I tried your cool game and left you a review ;)
Hello! I really like your son's voice, he's hilarious and adds a great touch of humor to the game! It keeps things interesting, and I appreciate how the game doesn’t feel too repetitive with the new monsters and mechanics to protect. Well done to all three of you! By the way, don’t forget to check out my horror game (not for kids) when you get the chance!
Really fun game although I had troubles using the swatter. I enjoyed it anyway, good job!
I'm glad you had a good time, thanks for playing and for the swatter feedback! Your game is really cool too, I left you a comment ;)
Very fun and addicting! Though swatter usage feels tricky, the main challenge is not to kill your herd with rockets. Love the music and sfx.
Thanks for playing CyberTek! We tried your game and left you comment ;)
Funny game XD At first I thought that the biggest threat is the fast ones, but after killing my sweet pig... I understood that the biggest threat is me D:
I think you need to tune difficulty a bit, cause i bought all upgrades in first run =) I also coulnd reach the ending, is there any?
Thx4game! Nice voice acting!
My GOD, Frogsrop, you're so RICH!
What is the current wave number? What's your best score? I think not so many players go as far as you in the game (buying all upgrades + having 147 gold is a lot).
So the game tends to be easier when you have a single animal to protect; that is why we made the animal spawn every 5 waves from the start, but they can't be resurrected.
If you have any ideas for the future of this game, they are welcome. We certainly plan to update it after the jam!
Thanks!
I was just looking for an end and my honest "Thanks for playing" xD
I guess wave 40-50. At some point i found that i can slap bugs out of screen and just shoot back(no aiming required). You just stand a few steps from animal and spam slap in one direction(animal) and booom in other direction.
Oh, i see! So I should consider losing an animal as a lose in game, that makes sense ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡
It's hard to suggest any ideas for me, cause I see to many directions where you can go now ^^ First thing that comes to my mind, you can add roguelike style detail. Something betwean runs, some upgrades, more weapons. But this leads us to vapire survival like game, maybe that's bad. So it would be great to see what your team come up with!
Btw how you got so much rates? Is there a secret?
P.S. Your mate quesitoned about wire, I answered him in thread of my game
Hey frogsrop ! You are a superplayer !
We were not expecting people to go so far ! Congratulations ! If we had more time we definitly should have added more ennemies and upgrades!! Thank you for your answer about your game fishing rod wire, i've seen it :)
I loved the art and the game mechanics and the sound effects. However i would have liked if it was easier to hit with the swatter.
Overall, Nice game!
Thanks thecyberden!
We had a lot of feedback about the swatter like yours.
We can't update the game during the rating duration but I thin we will do it later.
You can upgrade the swatter size with upgrades (that is why it's is small at level 1)
I loved the game, it's very fun and addictive. It went wrong at first because I didn't realize I was hurting my sheep, but after replaying it I got a lot better!
Haha, when things goes wrong, you're firing rockets at your own sheep! Didi you get the other animals ?
Didnt know shepards went thought all this!
Had a fun time playing! Absurd concept that came together really well!
Thanks EoinMcD! Absurd? What are you using at home to kill flies? ;)
Amazingly enjoyable and really really amazing game. It just tells you how difficult the life of the shepherd is. Really enjoyed swatting flies with rocket launchers.
Thank you; flies got what they deserved.
I really enjoyed this game! This <span class="EzKURWReUAB5oZgtQNkl" data-src-align="0:3" <this<="" span="">funny</span> voice acting adds fun, the game is really addictive.
Glad you enjoyed the game IcyJamz, i tried yours and left you a comment ;)
Played and rated :) really enjoyed this one, more shepards should use rocket launchers! The stand out was definitely the audio, your son's fly swatter noises are spot on!
The absurd mix of swatting flies and launching rockets had me laughing! Great balance of humor and challenge. Very nice and funny jam entry, well-done!
Thanks Voltekplay for giving our game a try, i'm glad our game made you laugh!
Pretty fun and nice little game. To push away the enemies with the swatter is a nice mechanic. Even tho, I needed some time to get used to the hitbox of the swatter.
Nice Game :)
Hey Tunahead, thanks for the review! Yes at the beginning it's hard to hit flies with the swatter, upgrading its "Area" and "Range" while clearing wave should help ! I liked your game and left you a comment ;)
I liked what you did there! In the end I got to wave 15 and that's when I lost my last pet friend ( my cow ) :(. It was fun playing it, you did a great job!
Thanks for the review! Good job for reaching wave 15, that's pretty much where I was when I did the play test.
I'll definitely try your game and leave you a comment ;)
This is a fun silly game that I could play for hours haha, pretty solid game thank you for letting me find your game
Thanks for trying our game mocs, glad you enjoyed :). I tried yours and left you a comment, visual assets are amazing!
