How does your game fit the theme?
There is a small ant with a big gun and a even bigger anteater. It's all built to scale. Usually in games with an ant with a gun the gun is much smaller, but not this time.

The idea is hilarious, but it's really really hard since the hitboxes are big.
Good concept , little hard though !!
Heh! Neat concept and nice artwork
+1 for fellow Ant Game
“______ with a gun” gotta be one my favorite genres. I really like the kickback on the gun for moving around! However, the tongue attack is a little hard to dodge without knowing which direction it’s coming from.
Verry nice i love it
I didn't knew I wanted to be an ant shooting with a glock in my next life before this game !
Thank you for implementing this concept in my head.
I liked the pixel art a lot, I felt like it could be even more pretty if the health bar match the vibe.
I liked the heavy controls, and I feel like using the gun recoil as a dash is really cool.
The base game is quite fun, and I liked the theming, but there are still a lot of pain points getting in the way of the fun. The rotating and walking is very slow, making it really difficult to actually dodge the tongue attack. Whether you are hurt by the tongue attack feels inconsistent. You can only get one, maybe two hits off during half of the attacks, dealing a pitiful amount of damage. The knock back makes thematic sense, but doesn't play that well. Since you rotate so slowly, you cannot use the large movement to get around interestingly. When rotating, the gun snap flips to the other side, getting in the way of me hitting the boss multiple times.
I hope you don't take this to negatively. There is mostly a lot to get in the way of the fun game underneath, and I hope your next game will become even better.
cool interpretation of the theme, and nice work on the mechanics!
Difficult but fun!
Nice take on the theme, awesome title
Saw the title and immediately new this'd be great. My one suggestion: I wish ant-with-gun could sprint. Very fun, nicely done!
I loved it! That ant eater can really take a punch
I love Anthony and Ethant and would protect them with my life
Pretty fun little game! I wish the controls were a bit faster / more responsive. At the same time, I liked how you can use gun's recoil to dash back from the anteater, discovering this felt neat.
Well I made the controls slower on purpose to capture the feeling of being a tiny ant wield a massive gun that's super heavy. But glad you enjoyed.
Very cool ant game.
I loved seeing the ants moving around and shooting a gun. Terrifying to think about if ants could use guns in real life...
Legendary boss battle. Nice job! I would've liked having the option to aim using the mouse. But then again maybe an ant shouldn't be able to 360 no scope.
Nice concept! Very fun gameplay ahahah
A short fun experience! I enjoyed the challenge. The only thing I'd say is to give the player more visual/auditory feedback when you take damage. Great work!!!
It really feels like being an ant with a gun! Rotating speed could be a bit faster though, its tough!
