Challenging game. I included it in my GoGodot Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

Developer

Thanks!

Congratulations! A good game to pass the time! I appreciate the resource management part. As for the fps part I would improve the feedback a little!

Developer

Thanks! Yea I didn't have time to add the shooting sound and weapon sway like I wanted. Thanks for playing!

Wow... the wasps and roaches are horrifying, and their SFX! Brilliant! Better instructions would help. How do I return food to the nest? I found that if I killed a few wasps then I was out of food and there was nothing I could do except be chased down and killed. Some more balancing needed I think. You actually have the bare bones of a type of horror game here! Well done!

Thank you! You Right click to put food in the nest.

The game is actually a survival horror if you look at the tags! It's part fps and part resource manager. When you kill an enemy they drop the yellow balls that are food. 

The trick is to carefully manage enemy position, food on hand, and food in anthill and try not to over shoot wastefully!

Developer

Thank you!

I was playing this game with headphones on and oh my gosh I just jumped in at first and the bees!!! The bees! haha I thought that the sound design was really well done! I had a lot of fun playing this and it was a fun perspective visually to be an ant having to fight off the wasps and the cockroaches!! Loved the game man! Job well done! Congrats (:

Developer

Coming from you, that means a lot!

The bee sounds are too realistics! Great ant model. I think some particles, and some other polish would spice it up very well.

Developer

Thanks! My models actually looked better/more realistic in blender but I couldn't get them to export correctly :/

We definitely plan on making improvements once the contest is over!

It's a nice game but I fell from the scenario (watched the big square going up) while I walked backwards shooting a bee/wasp.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the reply! I could've sworn I checked those collision boxes before exporting haha

Great idea for a game. Those bee sounds are terrifying. Could elevate the atmosphere even more if the time of day was dawn or evening.

Developer(+1)

We're actually thinking of adding a day/night cycle!

I love the atmosphere. There were times where I was genuinly terrified by turning around and seeing a bug!

Thanks ya! Rate if you can!
