This is a neat little game! Here are the main points of improvement I noticed while playing:
- The camera feels really zoomed in, it’s easy to get hit by an ant before you can react to it
- The healthbar covers a lot of the screen, it might be better to make it smaller and put it below the character so you can see the ant below you better
- The ants could probably stand out against the background a bit better, you could always add an outline to make them stand out
- The candies have collision, which feels weird. And it means that if you’re walking up when you place a candy, you immediately get caught on it, meaning that going up is objectively the worst direction.
Overall, it’s a fun interpretation of the theme, and a nice arcade-style game to pass some time.
