Fun game, well done!
I think that the player's health should've either decreased much quicker or their current health should've been carried over into the next level to give them more incentive to stay on the ice cubes. There was nothing stopping me from spamming the up and down arrows to just move the ant across the tea as quickly as possible. Otherwise, the gameplay is great!
thanks for the suggestion
I like the look and feel of the game. SFX could use some work, IMO. Had the same realization as others early on that mashing the up key from the start of every level allows you to beat it in about 3 seconds with no challenge which made me not care about the ice cubes at all.
yes. I will have to reduce the life rate faster
Interesting concept! I thought the gameplay was fairly straightforward, and I liked how the rotating tea affected the movement direction of the ant. I found some of the colliders to be a little hit-or-miss. For example, when jumping off a cube and into the tea, and then back onto the cube, the life meter continues to go down as if I were in the tea. I would also lose life when outside of the teacup. I also found the rotation of the ant to be oddly fast, and kinda wished I could hold down one key to make him move (instead of mashing it). The last thing I noticed is that I went from level 1 to 4, then to 7, then 9, so I'm curious if the levels were randomized? Eitherway, I thought it was an entertaining submission nonetheless. Keep it up!
The game has a unique visual style to it (really cute actually), although the game is a bit too easy. I didn't need to use the ice cubes at all, I just could press "up" all the time. Also the sounds were a bit annoying after a while. But overall really solid.
Interesting game with nice visuals! I guess our fun tea time is kinda deadly for the poor ant^^
I think though that the rate of life drain while in the tea should be higher. Right now, I could clear the levels just by pressing 'up' quickly because the tea is not dangerous enough. I stopped after I reached level 25. Also, the sounds for rotating the ant and clearing a level were a little uncomfortable, in my opinion.
Still, a nice entry!
Hi, thanks for the feedback.
