Nice simple game! could've been better if the click only once every ant. I've tried to kill them with one click and rotate around xD

Aside from that, it's nice, good job!

Came for a cozy game but got Normandy Landings of A Bug's Life! Nice submission!

Not cozy and the music knows it, but at the same time you don't get the picnic without the ants, and picnics are as cozy as they come. I wish the difficulty had not plateaued ahead of its time. I enjoyed playing it!

It doesn't really pertain to theme of cozy, I like fun little games which this is for the most part. I think the hitbox for the ants should be a bit bigger than just a square, like a bigger square or an asset like a flyswatter, with the amount of time you had left that might have been accomplishable. I like the look of the pie and ants. 

The sound design is not great. The music is far too intense for the subject matter and each click to the ants sound like a I'm shooting them with missiles rather than swashing ants

Nothing happened in the picnic blanket of 1989

Although not cozy, squashing the bugs was weirdly satisfying...

Historians argue that ant genocide of 2023 could've easily been avoided by just moving the pie someplace else, but we wouldn't have gotten a fun little game that way.

Blasted 100 ants! Nice submission!
