Cool idea, I accidently forgot to place a bridge and killed 3 ants :(
it' pretty nice game, slightly hard to master but still awesome,great job!!
Hey, ant buddy!
Very charming game, loved the music building up through the levels! My favorite level was definitely where you had to use the u-turn ability to solve the issue of not having enough turns, I wish there were a bit more of that kind of puzzle, some of the earlier levels felt maybe a little too straight forward.
I can definitely see this working well with some more dynamic hazards as well, lots of potential additions!
I think this game shines increasingly as the levels progress - an intentional design as indicated by the gradually expanding music track. Said music is a highlight of the game, a charming composition that captures the spirit of the ants! Which, by the way, is what this game is all about I guess: the spirit of the ants, marching along meekly but nobly haha. Really makes me smile... The gameplay keeps it simple at 1st - half the game feels like a tutorial - and breaks into something novel near the end, taking advantage of the ant's collision behavior as a mechanic. But that might be giving too much away! I played this game in a rush because I wanted to eat dinner, but by the end I was sad it was over haha. Darn good game!
Thank you for the detailed review! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I had a bit of a Lemmings vibe with this one :-)
Unique game and concept, I like it and it was also fun.
Great game! The most fun I had was in a) seeing how the song built up and b) finding ways to lead the ants to their goal without going the obvious route. In level three for example, you can go left and place ad right-sign so that it's mostly outside the screen. The ants will go above the obstacles all the way to the right 😄
Super simple yet really fun concept! potentially more controls for the ants would be cool? But still, I had a lot of fun.
20th rating! Congratulations! Fun game, good job! :)
Thank you!
The ants are adorable!
I think the concept is super cool and the gameplay’s really fun!
Big congrats on making such a solid game all by yourself!
The concept is really cool, i love it !
Awesome game! I love the concept. Even though I’m not very good at controlling the ants, but I still had a lot of fun with it.
Very unique concept for sure
though i missed a few details in the game, that can be fixed later.
I had quite a time invested to play and get to the game mechanics ... nice work overall.
Great work, Dev.
A very pleasant game! The idea and execution are both great and fit the theme really well. The art was really nice. I especially liked the music and how it changes with each level. The gameplay was great, I like the level design and how you really took advantage of the game's mechanics, like when the player has to use a rock to turn themselves a different way instead of relying on the turning blocks. One criticism that I have for this game is that the turning blocks weren't very clear to me because of the way they are drawn to be a circle, and I often ended up mixing up the directions. But that's just a nitpick. This game is a really good entry to the jam. Well done!
This is Game is so much fun, The Art style (probably not on purpose) is basic and looks like paper and i like the color scheme in particular with bright but light pastel colors. The overall game play mechanics were also really fun and intuitive, i did struggle to understand how to control the ants but i figured it out. This Game has a lot of potential!, Rated :D
Btw: Here's my game please do check it out and comment on how it was and if you enjoyed it be sure to rate it :)

Not sure why I could not get the controls on main game but it worked on the tutorial. One thing you could do is just have the tutorial be part of the first level.
If you were playing on the web version, if you click of of the window then it won't respond to your inputs. Maybe that's what happened?
cool game, i like the mechanics of it. very nice and fun!
Nice game, Make me remember when I play Lemmings. It will be nice to add icons on the bottom or somthing to remember the items you can place.
Good Work
Great game! There was a lot of waiting so a fast forward feature would really help, but overall it was a pretty fun experience.
The idea is not new, but it is well realised. And i love the system of "Dynamic Soundtrack"
