All you ant-y gals with your crawly pals,
Better scoot, better scoot, out scoot my boot
The art and theme going on here are both really cool. Like Borza said, the controls feel a little stiff but I had a very similar issue with my game that I just didn't have enough time to patch so I think I get what's going on here. I found that the best strategy for every fight was to avoid as many enemies as possible. So the run I beat it, I just made a beeline for the witch and kicked her til I defeated her. Idk if this is something you want to encourage or not, depending on the feel of the rest of the game.
