In what way does your game fit the theme?
Fire ants can latch onto one another to form structures. In a flood, this can mean the difference between life and death. Our idea was to take that collaborative spirit and gamify it! In this game, you are an ant queen controlling a swarm of workers to help you reach your destination. No ant alone can do this job. You must work as a team, where you are stronger, together.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
Everything was hand-drawn, hand-coded, and made from scratch. We used Godot for the game engine and Piskel for the art assets.

This game is so good, I love it! I love how so many people made ant games, but in their own way!

This game is really well made! I Wish it had audio but other than that the concept of drawing a path is really unique, and the visuals, oh so beautiful! Good job!

Thank you so much! We actually made a little music track but ran out of time to add it in. ;-;

Thank you so much! It took forever to write the shader for it... I'm glad that it didn't go unappreciated!
