It looks good, but the gameplay was a bit too hands off for my taste. Though as you mentioned this was the first experience with unity and/or gamejams for most of the team, so in that regard great job!

The art is so cute ! I love the idea of controlling a colony of ants, but there is some twist missing in the gameplay to make it really interesting. As you have absolutely no control over your characters, it becomes quickly a bit repetitive. I suppose you got caught by time, and had to cut many features, that's the curse of a lot of jammers ! But don't hesitate to refine it further in the future, I think it might become really fun !

This is a bit of a mixed bag for me.

Some good things:

There is great presentation here without doubt. The music is quite pleasant but if there is anything lacking, it would be that there is not as much sound FX as I would have liked. From the ants, to ants picking up food. The lack of feedback makes it a bit confusing and detracts the experience a bit.

Biggest caveat:

The lack of a clear or understandable game loop. I don't think the game loop is very clearly defined or strongly communicated to the player. There is a vague 'timing your ant workers' but there is not enough feedback to keep me engaged.

In other games where player input is relatively limited to sending units, such as 'The Battle Cats' on the Apple Store, there is still some strategy involved in matching units you send to units the enemy sends with changing dynamics. Whereas in this game, there is no clear, or demanding strategy on the onset. We are only trying to get soldiers to the other side, with no clear 'conflict' with an enemy player, and deaths that occur seem to occur from an environment/external player not involved in the battle at all.

My opinion is of that the design should be revisited to an extent. For example, maybe add an element of combat where ants actively repel the spider (but never able to kill it), with soldier ants in the background constantly supplying food to keep soldier ants fed and capable to fight.

I liked the idea, good graphics and good sound. Good game :)

Really cool game! I loved the art style and the music. I do wish that gameplay-wise, you had a bit more control over the ants. I get that the goal seems to be changing your timing so they don't get eaten but that's mostly just down to a lot of trial and error that isn't mechanically very deep or interesting. With that said, the presentation is great, and the game is plenty functional as it is. Nice work, especially for 48 hours.

Nice job on the art! It was fun to play the game, but I would've liked it more if there were many more new ants!

I really enjoyed the art, and it was a fun experience to play your game, so congrats! Too bad it was so short, I would have loved to have more levels, with a lot of new ants.

Nice art and fun
