I thought it was a challenge, great work

I figured out how to play the game. I think it would be better to make the detection area of the sugar cube bigger

simple but challenging puzzle game. Very cute visuals.

my only problem is sometimes the ants don't get attracted to the sugar cube even tho they are on range.

This plays kinda similar to the Hamster Fitness minigame in Professor Layton and the diabolical box! In that (if you haven't played) you are given different objects which the hamster is either attracted too or repulsed by, usually given a range of tiles etc. I think if you were to expand on this then different objects would be a must. I like what's there, but it took me way too long to figure out that the switch was a switch!

This is a great puzzle game that really had me scratching my head (im looking at you level 3). Very cute simple and does the job. Lovely little charming game!

Nice concept, but I couldn't figure out how the mechanics worked. The ant didn't seem to react predictably to the sugar, so I basically just ended up placing it in random locations to try to get the desired result (which stopped working at level 3).

Wow! This is a very interesting ice slide puzzle variant. So much fun, and it matches the setting so well!

However, there are two disappointments.

One is that, as mentioned in the comments below, this game is quite difficult to understand before you play it first. You should make a simpler tutorial level before the first level.

Another is that the behavior of ants to sugar is puzzling. Often, when the ants enter the range of the sugar, they somehow go straight back instead of turning in the direction of the sugar. In fact, they are less likely to bend toward the sugar.

Also, if I inadvertently place the sugar at the edge of the screen or near the play button, I can't pick it up again. I've gotten stuck twice with this.

I think the basic game idea is very good. Here's hoping the game gets an update!

Stuck on level 1, wish there was an explanation of how to play xD

Hi, I can't rate this game because I can't figure out how to play it.
