This was fun! great work executing the idea. I didn't have any trouble figuring out how to play, and it was very straightforward. I only died a few times before making it to the end. Well done!

Thanks! I'm happy you enjoyed it and managed to finish it without any trouble! :D

Nice job! the platforming mechanics work very nicely. It is a little hard to figure out how to climb but after a while you get the hang of it!

Developer

Thanks :D
it was a bit tricky to make the climbing works 😆

Fun and interesting game. Climbing up walls was hard at first but it was fun to master the mechanic.

Developer

With more experience coding and time to polish it, maybe I could been able to make it easier to master from the beginning, gets buggy sometimes 😆
Thanks for playing :)

Wow, super cool game! I find great that you can walk as an ant on the walls. This makes it more unique

Developer

It won't be a real ant if you can't walk on walls 🧐
Thanks for playing! :)

I really love the art style in this one, the music is nice, and also the mechanics are very unique. A cute short platformer with a lovely ant, thank you! Very good work, especially for a week!

Developer

Thank you for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it :D

The art is straight up awesome and the main mechanic of the game is extremly cool aswell! Sometimes the player gets stuck while walking, the solution is to use a composite collider with the tilemap collider that would make the game much smoother. Further more you could treat the player bias better by adding features like a coyote time. Still a very cool game you should be proud of!

Developer

Hi! glad you like it, and thank you for the suggestion! We were struggling with those collision with the tilemap so we gonna try it out that solution :)

Submitted(+1)

I head the same collision issue in my first ever game jam. The only problem with the solution is, that the collider then uses a Rigidbody, which needs to be static, which could be bad for performance (but i am not really sure if it bad for the performance since it never caused trouble in my games)

Developer(+1)

Oh I guess it would cause performance troubles in bigger games (or slow computers) and it surely is a good practice to have from the beginning. I'll play around with it to try to understand it, thanks!

Developer

thank you! Yeah, we struggled with the tilemap collider a lot, I modified it a little but it still has those little bugs.

One of the more interesting takes on the theme, loved it ! I love the simple, yet satisfying climbing mechanics. That's how ants move in real life isn't it? It felt like "getting over it", with a giant leaf on my back. Well done, thank you for making this !

Developer

Really glad you enjoyed it, thanks for playing! :D

Really loved the mechanic where you can walk either vertically or horizontally

Developer

Thanks, was really weird to think about that walk mechanic due to my lack of experience in unity or coding, what's actually going on are some invisible ladders 🪜 helping the player to go up and down next to the walls

Hey, as someone who likes and keep ants, that was fun to play. Nice art and music :D

Maybe implement some checkpoints? Was a little bit frustrating, when i got far and had to start from the very beginning. 

Good progress, for learning unity in one week!

Developer

Too I'm glad you liked it! :)

Yeah, checkpoints or something to make the game less frustrating would be a good addition (we didn't figured out how to do so before the deadline 😆)

Thanks for the feedback!

Developer

Thank you! we want to add it in the future! 

Submitted(+2)

WOW! The art is fantastic! I would’ve liked the gameplay to have been a bit more than walking around and climbing (for example you could add picking up rocks and leaves and using them to get farther in the level somehow).

Developer

We had the same kind of ideas! but due to the time and lack of experience, we went for the minimum to make the game playable 😆

Developer

hehe yeah, the nice part of this is that we can keep practicing with this project adding those kind of cool stuffs
