Small but really fun! Great job!

Developer

Thanks!!

Developer

Cheers for all the kind words and feedback! I'll definitely optimise this and re balance it for a post jam version. 

I should also say, I did answer "yep" to making everything from scratch, and that is neeaaarly true apart from the stock photos. Obvious, but wanted to go on the record to mention it! I did also take the sound for the clock when it's on 10 seconds or less from a previous project I made, now that I think about it. So, a slight correction!

A really nice idea. It has a really good tension about it. The puzzle was simple to grasp but enjoyable. It reminded me of Dobble. I totally enjoyed it.

Developer

Thanks so much! I should check out Dobble sometime, haven't tried it before

It's a card game type thing and in real life, not a computer game. It's like snap plus.

This is a really great game and an excellent example of less is more! Reminded me of Uno and I barely got above 150 ants but I'd love to see this game expanded upon!

Developer

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

fun minigame, i would add all the things on a list to see what you can achive tho

Developer

Thanks, I like this idea! I could blank them out too, so you'd know there's more food at higher levels, but you wouldn't know what food until you reach them.

Wow! At first I didn't understand what to do, but then when I understood it was really fun! Thanks for the game!

Developer

It's hard to understand what you are supposed to do. But i got a banana so it's cool

Developer

Thanks for playing! And sorry about that. I did not have the time to make a tutorial as I would have liked. I've written in the rules in full into the description now to compensate in the meantime, appreciate the feedback!

Enjoy your banana

I thought at first that the game would be stupid because it's fun 9 mb

but I liked her

liked it very much! the only problem seems to me that it is off topic

Developer

Thanks!

And that's fair, I had bigger ambitions to fit the theme but not enough time to implement them.
