How does you game fit the theme?
The ants' leader has to return to the anthill, but he is not alone. He has trapped soldier ants to rescue. They are also not alone. There are spiders who have trapped the soldier ants. The player has to save the ants first, and only then can exit the level to win.
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, our team has dedicated sound producers and artists.

loved the idea and a well executed too... Art and audio is also nice as the Gameplay..... Good Job...
DO CHECK MINE馃憞
sure!
I really like the chosen art style for the game, coupled with the low light it really gives a low budget horror vibe.
The gameplay's fairly simple, but I do think the concept could be expanded on if you wanted to. As others have said, allowing for methodical movement really helps this kind of system.
There are a couple of bugs (no pun intended) but I'm sure these kind of things could be ironed out with a little more time.
Great job you guys, I enjoyed my quick playthrough!
Thank you!
I really like the art in this game, especially some of the stuff that wasn't used. The music is also really good. The interpretation of the theme is interesting, but it's not super strong imo (though I guess the pun in the title makes up for it :P). The actual gameplay is a bit simple, but I do really like how the spiders will only move if the player is moving in a web. That way you can take your time to think through your movements and be more strategic instead of just having to be super quick. My biggest problem with the game is the hitboxes:
In this screenshot you can see just how much bigger the hitboxes are than the sprites. because of this, the player can often be frustrated because they died even though the spider wasn't even touching the ant. Playing with the hitboxes visualized however fixes the problem. But the game is still decent and I enjoyed playing. Best of luck!
(Also, it looks like there are 3 levels in the game, but I only got to play the one. Not sure if this was a time constraint or a bug)
Thanks a lot for the review! The hitboxes and the number of levels could not be given much attention because of the time constraint, so the game will definitely be improved in the future.
Eww bugs. I have a phobia of large insects they are scary. I liked the controls of this game, and the mechanic of the spider. I did however feel like the hitbox of the spider is way too big, i died without it touching me. it was a little satisfying rescuing the other ants. overall, pretty fun
Good game! Initially, I didn't realised how to save ants from the web, where spider was present. But then I figured it out. However, when you exit to the menu and return back to the game, a second ant is appearing on the starting position and you can not do anything.
We'll fix it soon :) thank you
Fun game and kinda hard but i liked that, great concept over all!
Really good, my arachnophobia scared me very much but I really liked the intro and the animations! But I think I found a bug,when I go to settings and then press "back to menu" I don't go back to menu, it does nothing.
That was kind of a "last minute addition" feature, so it didn't come out perfectly... We'll fix it soon!
pretty good gameplay and nice concept.
Cool startup animation and a overall great concept! Do you mind rating my game when you get the chance?
thanks, and sure, will do
