I love the game just like most everyone else due to awesome graphics nice gameplay etc.. but what I think is great is that you respond to everyone's comments from what I've seen without fail, which is great because I wish you luck finding another game dev that does that, it just makes you feel like you're well taken care of :).
Hahaha! I got a gun called the sheep cannon through the slots and it is the best gun ever! It shoots out sheep that are like sticky bombs and kill a person in two hits hahaha most fun I've had in this game!
