How does your game fit the theme?
We reversed roles by putting players in the perspective of ants attacking a giant, human-size enemy. When a fast-paced bug squashing game is reversed, you get a colony's battle for survival where their advantage isn't size or strength, but numbers

Nice little game! Poor ants but I managed to defend the colony, but just after trying a few times.
I am clearly terrible at this game but man was it fun. It's a really fun and unique idea.
I really enjoyed how the ants would keep spawning as you went in to attack and then swap to them, felt like I was controlling the colony really well. Good job
Cute game. I at one point had the magnifying glass over the ant hill and everything was dying immediately, otherwise solid.
Haha, that's definitely an OP opp who would be balanced had we time. Though there is a way to prevent that and win.
Thanks for playing :)
Yay! My colony has survived! Thank you for your fun and cool game!
And thanks for your comment friend!
the concept is really unusual! it was fun to try something new in this game jam :)
the controls are pretty much intuitive, liked that
would love to see more kinds of obstacles!
We plan to finish the game, in about two weeks, since due to time we could not finish it completely or polish it, thanks for your comment
The idea was interesting and well executed!
Good job!
Funny idea and very cool game!
very interesting idea, I just had a little trouble choosing and controlling the ant I wanted.
Yes thanks, the controls are on the game page so if you didn't go it's understandable, the controls are only 2:
Move: the ant follow the Mouse pointer
R: to restart the game
Thanks :) I couldn't even put a tutorial in my game haha
Nice idea! The execution has a lot of potential to grow.
Yes thanks, many things were left out due to technical problems and lack of time
i like the idea behind this!
I liked it! It's really nice!
cute
Good job guys ðŸ˜, two days so heavy 💀
