I couldn't get past the first level - too much happening at once for only three hearts.

Also, the tutorial is very strange... it opens with telling the player they can move with WASD, but the main gameplay is with the mouse and you can't move with WASD.

The main mechanics of the game are fine, but the game needs to do a better job introducing the player into them.

The art and music are very cute!

For the tutorial part, I actually meant to do that, for the player to find out what the actual controls are themselves, idk but I was kind of thinking along the lines of it being an "intentional bug" or something. Anyway thx for the suggestion and I hope to do better in future jams!

Great game! Loved this for the intro and music alone! Fun concept, I liked the little food grabbing and battle sequences. Great work! +10 for the gameboy aesthetic!

Nice little game. 

Sound and graphics are pretty cool. Maybe I missed it but I didn't get a hint that clicking would make the ant "bite" 

But overall... good work

Good game ! 🐜

I really like the gameplay changes of the game.

It's quite challenging but I finished it and I liked it a lot ^^.

Small technical problem: if you move the character with directional arrows instead of WASD then the character will not animate in the right direction.

Great job !

Oh thx for the feedback, actually for the turning part, I just scripted it so that it turns when the WASD are pressed, as I did not really know how to do it in the "normal way" haha.

I love the music! Good job :)

This game is very cool and challenging at the same time and big gan of the gameboy theme.
