My game also broke pretty badly (spawning logic was spawning all enemies at (0,0), so I had to replace it with random spawning) several hours before submission, so I understand. If you aren't already using Version Control, it's important to learn especially for these situations when you need to rollback to a good state.
The infection animation is suitably uncomfortable.

The tileset could use some work to greatly help the feeling of being in an ant tunnel as opposed to a underground dungeon. e.g. rounded corners and the replacement of the broken/collapsed wall tiles

Thank you for feedback, have to keep in mind :D

Sucks when the game breaks right before deadline. I get so nervous to make any changes within 4 hours of the end.

Developer

Yup :D

Very sorry about the bug. I played it anyways, and it’s good. Congrats on your first GWJ submission. Hopefully the bug doesn’t get you down.

It's sad to read that the game broke, it seemed captivating. From what I experienced, the artworks and the audio are great! I loved the infection animation in particular :)

Sorry to hear the game broke before the end. Was fun playing it! The atmosphere was intense and those fighter ants really had me on the edge of my seat.
