Did you use any existing assets? If so, list them below.
A lot of code mainly reused from previous projects, as well as a couple of 3d models i made before for vfx. Everything else is new and made for this jam

Such a cool visual experience! Nicely done!
Thanks very much! :)
I like the animation a lot! Everything is really shiny in a cool way, what game engine was this?
Thank you! Using our own engine (own physics lib, ECS, etc) along with threejs as the rendering library. Some materials are pure threejs (the ant, the metal pipes) and some are shaders that i wrote or customized (the projectiles/smoke/sand).
Wow! That's super cool!
Nice graphics and animation work, I liked the look of it. Controls took a moment to get used to and the shooting mechanic felt a bit like it needed improvement but still fun trying to get through as far as possible. No audio yet but I get that we have to keep scope lower in the jam. overall solid effort especially with the dev problems you mentioned.
Hey thank you so much!
Hey, nice game, I don't hear any audio, not sure if it's an issue on my side.
It felt a bit hard to control the player which made the game harder for me, but it's still fun to try and get as far as I can. Nicely done!
Thank you! Didn't get a chance to add audio in time unfortunately, and yeah the controls are functional but definitely rough around the edges especially the shooting distance. Anyway, thanks for kind words and for playing! :)
It does feel janky at some times but otherwise great game! 4/5
A fun game with soem great graphics. I hope you get to spend some time on it after the jam to expand it to how you wanted it.
Sorry about the dev problems but the animation and head turning looks good :). The shooting mechanic is janky as well (or my aim is that bad....)
Quote: If you die and tried to reload game kinda just doesn't.
Same issue here, but it seems it is a browser message instead of ingame.
Yeah the "loss state" if you can call it that is very poorly done, thrown in at the very end. Thanks for the nice comment and for playing! :)
I can see the potential in this game, sorry to hear about dev problems. The leg animations for your first go are solid so great job for submitting a game with the problems you had.
Sad to hear your plans got ruined, but here's a bug (no pun intended) I found.
If you die and tried to reload game kinda just doesn't.
Here's how to reproduce it (I did it in chrome and vivaldi). Start game-> kill a couple of beetles -> die -> get a js pop up to reload -> press okay on it -> bettles are now going backwards -> reload the page -> loading screen flashes blue then goes back to black and stops before the game is loaded.
Ah you're right sometimes it seems to get stuck on that loading screen. Not sure why, but if I continue the project I will fix it, thanks for playing and for the detailed report! :)
Nice graphics!
Unfortunate it became a solo project, but with that you have it is still a decent project.
Sorry to hear about your partner. I hope they feel better soon! Good job with that heavy change in workload.
Thank you! :)
Really Nice Animation and VFX. I though the popup was and error. Didn't know I lost.
Heh yeah it's awful and absolute minimum possible version of it. I put the two alerts in less than 30 minutes before the end :D. Thanks for the kind words and for playing! :)
Beautiful graphics!
Thank you! :)
Wow, it's very nice graphically. When I put it in full screen, everything crashes. I don't know if that happens to me or everyone.
I'd work on the menus and sounds/music, which I don't see have.
Good work!
Thanks very much for the nice words! Not supposed to crash (works fine for me), not sure what happened, hopefully no one else gets that!
Yes totally agree and I wish I had put sounds at least, unfortunately had unplanned changes with my teammate getting sick.
My whole family :*(
