Nice work. Solid little platformer with good mechanics. Ants worked well for the theme. Controls felt responsive and the gameplay was enjoyable. Could be expanded further, but already a good jam entry

I like the theme! I noticed there are a surprisingly many number of games in this gamejam (including my own) with an ant theme to match the gamejam's tinyworld theme! I'm running Linux here so I can't try out your game. Could you by chance also release an HTML5 / browser edition in the future maybe?

Excellent - thank you! It's always good to have an additional Linux build of a game.

Wow, I noticed it is a very lean 14 kilobytes in size compared to the Windows larger 34 megabytes in size. Is that difference by chance related to the game engine?

I build both in unity with the same settings so i dunno why the size difference is so large

I am not overly proficient in Linux. I downloaded the file and tried to open it, but nothing seems to happen. I opened it with the Linux App called "Run Software". Do you have any suggestions? I am running an Ubuntu based distro of Linux. Thanks for any guidance.

Hopefully it will work now you could try to download the new one

Thanks, I downloaded the new file and I can decompress it and then navigate in its directory structure, but unfortunately it still won't launch. I tried to launch "linuxbuild.x86_64" by right-clicking it and then selecting "Open With Run Software" in the context menu. Do you have any additional suggestions? Possibly, can you test the Linux build on one of your own computers to see if it will launch? Thanks again.
