How does your game represent "Power"?
everything is about power for ants, and this is a game about ants

Really confusing at first, had a hard time controlling the ants and switching powers seemed bugged. I think the other ant-hives is where the ancient powers where, but I never managed to get one. There's more to this than what you first think!
That was life changing. Antoinette made some good points but I agree with our protagonist about the uprising of the working class. Also...
Themes of giving power to the subjugated? Controlling many tiny units? Important gameplay elements of plants and small creatures? 6th generation console sense of isolation, eeriness and nostalgia? Fighting bosses in caves? Several Nintendo sound effects? Yup... this is Pikmin 2. Nice try buddy, thought we wouldn't notice... but we did.
But for real this was crazy! Looks a little crude on the outside but the power system and such was legit awesome. After exiting caves sometimes I wouldn't have the ability to switch powers but that's the only major bug I noticed. Oh and a slider for mouse sensitivity would be nice for next time (it was very high for me, might be my pc idk). Overall awesome job!
Amazing. I've lived an entire lifetime as an ant through this fever dream. Beautiful.
i couldn't work out how to play! i like the concept of controlling an ant swarm, would love to see it explored more.
You've clearly recognized the lack of 3d platformer games where you play as ants and you delivered on a highly ambitious game. Music is excellent and had me panic when I fell in the water. Very atmospheric!
this has a lot of charm, really nice idea. i think it broke for me, as it looked like all the text from the game was on screen at the start, and then went away when I died for the first time.
