I like the game, but I think it would benefit from a tutorial. Also, making the game a little bit harder and longer would be great. Adding multiple ways to reach the endpoint and including more than one spider could also enhance the experience

Submitted

Nice job with the procedural generation! Would have been cool to have some progressive difficulty as you win to keep the challenge going, but the procedural generation alone made it repayable for a while. Great job on the submission!

Submitted

Really nice simple game. Mixing it up with random/procedurally generated levels works really well. Good job.

Submitted

Really cool that the levels are procedurally generated. The soundtrack was a banger, good job!

Submitted

Cool game, I think it's awesome that the level changes each time so there's always some variety :-D Hope you've had an awesome jam and a good time making this!

Submitted

The labyrinth seems to be procedurally generated and it gives somewhat mixed results. Sometimes it's great and others almost a narrow path, but this is something that could be worked further into an interesting game. It's not always the spider comes into play, but its logic could work well together with other spiders and maybe even a variety with different movement patterns and a bigger map. Overall great and well executed idea!

Submitted

nice labyrinth generator. It's a bit of a coin toss, if the spider gets you or walks another tunnel, maybe a decoy or distraction would be a nice addition (ants work with pheromones, so you could mark a fake tunnel to get away?)

Submitted

Had fun playing the game.The maze might need one or two more connections, got trapped the first time without any way to escape the spider.

Submitted

Man this game is great! so simple yet so fun good job!👍 

Submitted

Nice mazes! Were they procedurally generated or hand crafted?
It could be fun to have collectibles and more spiders (as long as there are ways to avoid them)

Submitted

smooth gameplay, great aethetics, spot on with the theme!

Submitted

Nice work fellow Ant developer. 

Submitted

Cool game! The procedural maze generation is well done. Kinda feels like you need some luck to make it through.

Submitted

The game was good and you could do so much more with it. I wish you well

Submitted

Nice implementation!

Random generation is a great tool but sometimes it feels too... random. Have you tried adding some rules for the spider position? Sometimes it gets totally away from the player and sometimes it is like in the middle of the way and there is nothing you can do...

Anyway! Nice submission and good job!

Submitted

Damn that was moreish I couldn't help but keep at it till i won very cool and nicely made well done.

Submitted

Nice game. Procedural generation on point, and the spider can be very smart at times x) Had fun playing it

Submitted

Great use of procedural generation! I like the music, and the squash sound effect was pretty funny. Nice job!

Submitted

good job. I think the spider could actively try to follow you. I personally found it easy to wait and dodge. Well done with the procedural generation of the map. It was very intuitive how to play

Submitted

Nice idea - well done. More loops to hide from the spider would be nice - death is inevitable on some levels!
