Hey I just played the polish. Such a smoother experience. Maybe in part because I knew what I was doing from the beginning this time. I love it. I lost but was close to doing it. I love that it has so much depth to it. I shall be playing it again for sure. Keep it up. I am a fan
Thanks, really glad you enjoyed it!
Never hated red cones and cylinders so much.
In all seriousness, really enjoyed it and kept playing for for longer than I meant to. Something about it really spurs you into keeping on playing.
Graphics look clean and everything is easy enough to make out, and audio conveys everything it needs to to make for a satisfying experience.
For some reason it seemed to crash for me the moment I wiped out all the vipers, which was odd, but not something that I'm too worried about.
Really really solid entry and could absolutely see addictive potential in it as something like a phone game.
Thanks for your nice comments. Sorry about the crash, I looked at the code about vipers and didn't see anything obvious that would cause that. Do you know if it happened on V1 or V2?
Like most of the other people who played the game (from what I've seen from the comments, at least), it took me a couple of minutes to figure out how to play and how to generally get my bearings on what I needed to do. Once I got the hang of it, though, I found myself enjoying keeping my little ants safe from the vipers. I will say that it got to be fairly simple to protect my ants, as the game kept handing me shields and viper-be-gones, so I found myself deleting the vipers nearly every time they appeared, and racking up my ants enough to the point where when they did get loose I didn't suffer too many losses. I enjoyed the game, though, and would love to see it expanded upon!
it's a shame that this game is only one level
it's so fun and entertaining i could play it for hours and don't get bored
Great game man
a small tutorial at the beginning is required but nah everyone got it on it's on
Nice game, Ludology is sound, well done, keep it up
Was a lot of fun trying to figure out how to win the game. Although you can loose the game while there's still green pellets running back to base. Feels like a flaw! thanks for creating this!
You're right, I fixed this in the polished version. Thanks for the feedback.
Took me a while to understand what I was doing but once I did was fun! Great job!
Well, the polish on this is just stupid good. I love the task routine for the ants and the abilities gave so many degrees of freedom for solving it in your own way. Really well done.
Properly loved it. The mechanic took a while to sink in, but then I was happy. I look forward to seeing it polished! Great work
Good work real fun game, the music and the flying snakes gave a spooky vibe to me(the way they slowly get close to the ants lol) awesome game for 1 week. keep up the good work.
Wonderful once you get into a grove! Stupid flying things need to leave my ants alone!
I REEEEEALLY got into this game. Reminds me of the kinds of games I played as a teen, like Creeper World. I was slightly confused if it was a level based game or is it just to go as long as you can?
Thanks for playing. There is only one level, I wanted to make more but ran out of time.
A little overwhelming at first but quite fun once you figure it out.
