In what way does your game fit the theme?
1. it's about ants, I mean come on.
2.the more things you hold the stronger barriers you can break through
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
ALL OF IT (During the jam period I might add)

A nice mechanic though it can be a little weird to use. Some more feedback for when things are attached or not would be great. I could see color being a great way to represent this since it's otherwise all black and white. I also think finding a way to make grabbing more than one thing more intuitive would be a big help as well.
Good ideas! After the jam ends, I'll go back and try to improve the playing experience to make the mechanics more obvious and such. Thanks!
This face.. silently staring at you, however which way you turn the character, is something that will keep me up for many many nights to come.
hahah, yeah when I was making the character I was like, hold on, I can do something weird with this
The night directly after has been restless. I thank you for that.
:D
I really liked your game, the music is super catchy!! Please rate my game too if you can. Cheers!!
The mechanic of only being able to break door with stuff in your hands was a bit confusing and took a little bit to get used to.
Great game!
Nice idea. When I figure out that I can also grab the ant help a lot xd
I stuck at lv4. I not sure it's a bug or what. I can't open the door even I finally managed to grab all 5 objects. I like the music. It remind me a fresh game, Ant TD, I played when I was a kid.
Glad you enjoyed it! There are a few bugs regarding the doors, but I'm impressed you made it to level 4! most people struggle on two and three
I like the aesthetics. I was little confused at first, but your description helped me. Great job!
A few bugs that can be frustrating but overall very inventive take on the theme and fun to play.
I really like the idea, I think it has the potential for lots of puzzles! I was pretty confused as to how to play at the start, especially with the box. I don't know if I'm messing something up, but it feels like the lock doesn't break with boxes, except sometimes it does. Also, once I pass a room, but don't bring something with me, I have to reset the entire level, which can get a bit frustrating. I'm a fan of the music, it's very fun and fitting.
Yeah I completely agree, there are a few bugs where the game misjudges how many things you're holding, and I will probably go back and add a proper tutorial after the jam period. Thanks for the feedback!
Loving the minimalist graphics, it fits the music well. Was a fun puzzle game, I liked how you integrated the tutorial it made the game easy to understand and fun to keep playing!
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I really enjoyed your game :D, the puzzles, the music and the arts are incredible, Good Job!
Thanks for playing! :D
I like the interesting puzzle mechanics and simple graphics.
I'm happy you liked it!
Nice game. A bit confusing the donut grabber.
Just a suggestion, would be nice if you could rotate with the grabbed objects. I think would add more flexibility to the movements.
Congratulations!
Originally I had it this way, however whenever the player picked up several donuts, it was a bit crazy when they turned, so I decided against it. Thanks for the feedback!
Great game! The puzzles are very well designed. Not overly complicated but definitely require some thought. The difficulty of the levels increases quite quickly and the hints were very helpful to get me started
Yeah, I will probably add a more in depth tutorial and ease into the more difficult parts soon. Thanks for the feedback!
That was a fun puzzle game! Cool idea.. ants are always cool :) btw the music is adorable!
thank you so much!
Cool game, I enjoyed the art and the sound effects were good. The puzzles were nice too and made me think about the level and how to best utilize the mechanics. Overall, fun game!
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!
I really liked your style and music. Sound of picking up and dropping are very helpful. Idea is very fun - and help in the game with animations is very cute. Maybe add possibility to return to the previous mini-stage? I didn't take some donuts with me and had to restart.
Overall very cool!
I agree, I was originally going to let the player freely move around the areas, but I couldn’t figure out the camera in time. Great feedback!
I like how you used the theme in 2 different ways here. I didnt even think of making game about ants. The art style fits very well in the whole concept. Also, I liked the music - its is quite short loop, but not such intrusive or annoying as in some of the games. The only issue are bugs (and i dont mean ants haha), I got stuck a few times and had to start over. If you dont mind, check out my game too!
Thanks for the feedback!I agree, this game definitely isn't bug free, but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless
I loved the cute pixel art and the theme song! The dash ability was a great choice too.
Having one on each pincer was hard to find but its a fabulous idea.
The art is ace! Great sound effects! Ran into a couple of glitches (I managed to dash off screen at one point and couldn't get back!). But that's what a game jam is!
Good work!
Thanks! Yeah the game has it's fair share of bugs lol :) thanks for playing!
