Cute decision to have the shield be the snail. I managed to skip the beetle by getting hit in the direction of the cliff. Felt unintentional but almost made sense in an ants world in a silly kind of way.

Ya, I reallized that was possible, so It gives you all the upgrades when going in to fight the spider, just incas

I saved the ants! Love the artwork - especially that spidey guy. Well done!

Developer(+1)

Glad you liked it. I definitly wanted to work more on art for this one, and I think it paid off :D

Submitted

Excellent Game. Nice defend, attack and ultra jump mechanics. Completed the game by defeating the Spider Boss. I also liked the spring mechanics when jumping on leaves. Keep up the Good work :)

Developer(+1)

Thanks :D

That spider was a bully and got what it deserved! Really fun entry, I particularly loved the animation, I could tell you put a lot of effort in and it shows!

Also, the sound design is so cute and perfect, great game!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it :D

Submitted

Beautifully well done. The movement seems stiff at first, but as soon as you jump some leaves you get a feel for it and it is just right. The combat and platforming just hit right and I can see the base for an interesting game here. The art for the ant is really smooth, kudos for whomever did it!

Developer(+1)

Thanks :D

Fun game! Love the cute noise that it makes when you jump, also the big spider was kind of scary. But good job in making this game!

Developer

I'm glad to hear that. This is my first game where I decided to make my sound effects

Submitted

A neat entry with some fun visual storytelling. I died trying to kill the fast red bug a few times. Sound effects and background music was on point! Good work.

Developer

Thanks :D. The red bug is honestly harder than the spider, should've made more AI for the final boss.

Submitted

Fun game!
I really liked the animations—the spider jumping on you and shooting you far away was a cool touch. The controls could use a bit of work to feel more responsive, and adding a background would really help with the atmosphere.

Here’s a trick I use when I don’t have time to draw a full background: I find a small pattern drawing, repeat it, and apply a parallax effect—it usually works well.

Great work!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback, I'll definitely try that in the future as the missing background is definitely a big flaw

Submitted

Nice use of the theme.  The spider was a bit easy to cheese once I got everything, but for a game jam submission, very well done!

Developer

Ya, I had initially planned on adding more moved to the spiders ai, especially one where it knocks you off it's head, but I didn't have time

Submitted

Spiders ahhhhhh, jump mechanics you get used to after awhile, good music and sounds and cute art, well done!

Developer(+1)

Thanks :D

I loved the little ant-knight and the small sounds it makes. got a tiny heart-attack when I saw the spider XD

Developer

Nice, I'm glad the spider was able to scare you properly XD

Submitted

xD

Submitted

Very cute game. I love the tiny sword! I look forward to seeing how this grows in the future. :) 

Submitted

This is a really cool concept! I love where you went with the story. I found the music, particularly with the snail encounter to grab my attention, but other times it felt a little like a corporate training video — though still well composed for sure. Like others, I struggled with the jump mechanics but eventually got it. I would love to see what this game looks like with further art and narrative development. Solid work here folks! Can't wait to see what you make next.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it, and I'm definitely looking forward to creating more projects in the future.

Submitted

This was a fun game to play as others mentions the controls were interesting, but love the vibe.

Developer

I'm Glad to hear that :D

Submitted

Nice work. I found the jump mechanic a little bit annoying at first but it works with the game pretty well and looks hilarious. 

Developer(+1)

I'm glad you liked it. I definitely could've done more with the jumping mechanic, and it's a little finicky atm, but I didn't have too much time for it.

Submitted

Good fun, cool plot to follow. I missed getting the jump boots but I will JUMP back in to try this out at some point!.

Developer

thanks. The boots aren't anything special, just let you jump higher when holding space so that you can explore more areas. 

Submitted

Really liked this entry. Good job.

Developer

I'm glad you liked it :D
