Brief Play Description:

Nuclear Sheppards is a competetive actionmanagement game, where you need to herd a bunch of simple aliens together to destroy as large groups as possible with your nukes.

The inhabitants are scared of your craft and will try to run away from you. By utilizing your speed and the environment, you can gather them in flocks and move in for the kill. You will be awarded for efficient use of your nuclear power, and the more enemies you kill with a single nuke, the bigger your bonus.

The player who reaches the set amount of points first, wins. However, the aliens are fast and it is a good idea to work together, if you want to catch any.
