I like your game and how it plays. Interesting idea to make more ants as extra lives, would be nice to have to work more for each additional ant or something like that. Great work!
I really like the idea of the anthill — too bad I'm the only one working while the rest are slacking off :P. It's satisfying to see the anthill progressing. The music adapts to what's happening on screen, which adds to the immersion. The camera shows exactly the area the player should be focusing on. The spider animation is very well done. Overall, everything works smoothly, looks great and cohesive, and the game has huge potential for further development.
Congratulations on a great job!
Nice game !!!
Running around as an ant is quite fun. But I am not a fan of spiders, not in real life and not in the game. Still, you made a really cool game!
Cool ant game! I really liked how the spiders looked and moved around made them feel quite monstrous even though they were a different art style from the other stuff. Also liked the scale of the trash can and tire, really put in to perspective how tiny the ants were.
Gameplay wise I feel liked it would've been cooler if the spawned ants could roam around the world, collect food and fight spiders. The spiders were also quite easy to avoid and attacking them front on was not really much of a threat since you can just respawn easily.
Good job and congratulations on your first game jam!
Great job submitting a game to the jam! it was fun running around as an ant
Fun game! The artwork and music went well together!
Really love the visuals and the music! Cool idea and it was nice to get stronger and flip the tables and kill the spiders after a few power ups. Ants took over, all is well.
Love the spiders, they look so good when walking around. They did get stuck easy however. Liked the pixel art, probably needs a bit more going on to make it more of a challenge but great game jam entry,
Really liked the core concept. The ant theme was fun and had a lot of potential .. would be great to see the combat and follower mechanics fleshed out more. Spiders got stuck behind the bugs. I also had to go back and forth loads to feed the queen all my food. well done
I love this. Definitely an amazing ant game :D
I think it would be nice if I could keep playing after getting enough ants, as I would like to murder the spiders after that. Also, an option to have fellow ants follow you to war would be dope.
Congrats on finishing the Project
I like the art style and core game loop, awesome!
Absolutely loved the game loop. The upgrades were satisfying. Great work!
Thanks for playing!
I like the art and the concept idea. The music and noises fits well.
Very nice, I like the art a lot and something about the way the rain noirses were processed makes you feel super small. Is there a highpass filter on it?
Thanks, I didn't do anything with the filtering just downloaded this from opengameart.org https://opengameart.org/content/early-rain and thought it sounded nice.
Im too ambitious to get the spider to serve my queen,hahaha
Nice little game! Found a bug, though: the spider attacked me even after its death. There were some spiders camping outside my nest, but, after the speed upgrade, I was able to escape from them more easily.
Thanks for pointing that out. I thought I had fixed that bug but I guess not. There's also so supposed to be a function to push the spiders away from the nest but I don't think I pushed them far enough away. Thanks for trying it out.
No problem! If you end up fixing it, please notify me! I would be more than glad to check it out
Cool ant game, wished the extra ants would get out to help me fight the spider camping outside
Thanks for playing, I wanted to make the ants come out of the nest but it was giving me too many difficulties so I gave up. Hopefully I can get better and implement it someday.
