Arrggghhhh ! the ants! Who gave the ants shields!!!???
This is verrrry fun :) Good job! I hope you continue with this project, it's really good :)
Great game! Really enjoyed this, and loved the art!
Perfect job and very good choice as game style for this task. Smooth gameplay and cute visuals.
Fun and intuitive game. It fits the theme beautifully and and has great music and art design. Great job!
Before playing it, I thought it was a familiar genre, but it actually showed creativity.
All this violence paired with such SWEET music!
Another 5/5 game!
Great job!
P.S. I found it could be a bit hard to move candy back when it is surrounded by many ants and I picked ants instead :D
This is a really fun game and very easy to understand. One of the best I've played so far
Super fun game I found out I really enjoy killing ants.
It sometimes was quite difficult to control the throwing mechanic, it was not really clear what would happen anytime you picked up one of the ants and flinged them, sometimes it caused damage and sometimes they would just peacefully land on their annoying ant feet.
Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback!
The throwing speed is based on the mouse speed when you release the button, which may make it inconsistent. I may change this in the future so it is not based on mouse speed, which should make it feel more consistent.
The throwing itself doesn't do damage - damage is only dealt when you hit another ant. But I am thinking about adding damage when thrown ants hit walls.
Yeah might be good to take the average of the mouse speed even a few millisecond before you release. I might have been just throwing the ants in random directions in a panic.
Lots of fun!
So addictive and fun - my favourite game in the jam!
I love ants so killing so many of them hurt my soul, but otherwise very well done game! Good pixel art, animations and mechanics, you're going to go far this way.
Even though I enjoyed the gameplay, the idea seemed strange to me (I mean having to protect candy from ants).
Very fun game! It was so satisfying once I got my attack high enough to one shot the ants without shields. I didn't really mess with the throw mechanic at all, but the punching was very fun. I managed to win on my 2nd run. Great work on this!
10/10 protected my candy but tastes like ants
Nice simple game. The upgrades could use a bit of balancing work since there's no real need to choose between them.
Very polished title. Good Job! The 2 mechanics work so well, and complement each other great.
nice survival game candified
Very fun and very clever game !
At first, I forgot that I could smash ants with F, just throw them around and when only one remained, I thought, now what )
One of my favorite games so far. The mechanics all worked smoothly and the upgrades were fun. Really well implemented game. Very fun!
Cool game! It reminds me of that old mobile game where you squish the bugs as they run across the screen... Throwing the ants was a blast
