You can't finish the game with one ant you need help of the other ants.

Good take on the theme! There sure was ants

Developer

Thank you ;)

Very well done! It was so fun to make ant bridges and to swing around the ants to get to the finish. Overall a very unique idea, executed excellently.

Developer

Thank you very much ! =)

Thank you ! 

Done, yours is very nice too ;)

This game is incredibly interesting and a really unique take on the theme, the only thing I didn't like that much at times is that the movement and jumping could feel much better because it is really clunky at times right now. Besides that tough amazing game and very well done.

Developer

Thank you very much :)

Yes, I know that these bugs can greatly affect the gaming experience :/

Maybe I'll fix the physics bugs while trying to keep the fun side and add more levels once the rating is done because I'm pretty proud of the concept

Shot my ant into space. Would shot ants in any other crazy directions again :-) I even dont know whether there were some levels, after shooting my ant forward, suddenly I spawned in another location. Nice graphics and idea.

Thank for your feedback :) 

Yes there are still some bug in my game '^^

Submitted(+1)

Fun and creative gameplay mechanic, I loved it. It would be just a little better if you could jump better on top of the other ants. The music and art is super cool too, very great game.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for your comments! :)

Yes it's not intentional, and you're not the only one to report this bug...
I don't understand how I didn't see this during development, maybe it's adding it at the end just before the deadline :/

Great take on the theme, and really fun mechanics with the ants. Good job!

I managed to launch my ant of 3 ants and finished the first level. Super fun since there is no predetermined way to beat the game. I kept repeating the first level to try to (mis)use the physics to get to the other side with as less ants as possible. I even tried to do it with one, but as you stated it can't be done. But please, if you managed to pull it off, let me know how and I will try it again.

Great job on your game, I hope you had fun!

Thank you for feedback :)

Yes I want to let every player play as they want, with minimum of ant or with lot of ant and trying to build a beautiful bridge ;)

I don't think this is possible, I don't try a lot but I put a gap big enough to not be able to jump with a single ant.
I think 2 is minimum by using the first ants as springboard.

Hey there,

Now using ants is the perfect match for the theme of this game jam, Kudos there good sir!!!
Really like that there is not much animation here, really keeping it simple

Cheers!!!

Developer

Thank you ! =)

Nice game. I love how you can spin everywhere and climb on walls. I love the graphics also the music is weird but nice. I like this platformer it feels good and I like it! Good job!

Developer

Thanks ! Glad you like it :)

Submitted

Didn't expect the ant can spin in a platformer, IMAO

Submitted(+1)

Nice graphics + music! Interesting idea too. It did feel a bit strange that you could freeze your ant mid-air, but this led to some interesting gameplay

Developer

Thank you, yes I agree it's weird, but I also think it could be interesting so I decide to let it ^^

Submitted(+1)

This is a great concept... like Lemmings meets bridge builder.
Game design idea is solid. I found the game pretty challenging to be honest.

Good work!

Developer(+1)

Thank you :D

This game allowed to make some crazy spins in the air. I thoroughly enjoyed it! Accidentally pressed R after an ant fell into the water which made me sad a couple of times as I had gotten close to the goal. It really fit into the theme as well.

Great job!

Developer

Ouch sorry for your accident :/ 

Glad you like it and thanks for your feedback :)

Submitted(+1)

Great game, it has a perfect balance between difficult and engaging. I hope you continue with this game

Developer

Thanks for your feedback !
Yes maybe I will add more level and fix some physics bug. ;)

Submitted(+1)

Wow I have seen many ants game today in the jam I hoped that I was the only one -_-. I really like your game it´s the best ant game I have seen yet there are some little bugs I was able to fly of the map it was fun. Good Job 10/10

Developer(+1)

Thank you for this very nice comment!
Yes I think the theme of this game jam works very well with ants. But I think this is not bad, it's really intersting to see how each game are different ;)
Yes I know I have fews bugs with physics but flying ants exist in real life ;P

I try your game too and despite the few bugs it's a very good start with good ideas !

Submitted(+1)

This is a very fun and unique game. I love the idea of this ant colony try to cross a bridge and having to climb on each other to get across. The gameplay works great and is very enjoyable, even though I'm awful at it. Great work!

Developer

Thanks for your comments !
Yeah on some play it really look like real ant who hold on to each other and i'm quite proud of it ^^

This is so fun, and so frustrating (but in that good "I gotta beat this!!" way). Interesting theme, cool atmosphere, nice graphics, great job!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for your feedback ! ;)
