I don't understand how to get the sticks...
This was pretty weird.. I think I completed it (if visiting the ants was the objective). You shouldn't be able to outrun the camera...
Great sounds! :D
@smvilar: see tip: 2) Rocks hurt wood.
@madflame991 oh I tried to make a smooth camera, but it is impossible to polish it completely in 10 hours (I worked only around 9-10h in the game).
@cmo7 thanks!
i like it but didnt really understand what to do after the cow ;p
Really weird game, but in a good way :D I like the graphics, and the gameplay is smooth. The only problem was the keys were a bit unnatural.. Good job!
This was hilarious, no idea about the actual game, but I loled.

I couldn't understand what to do after releasing the bee. But it's still a good fun game and nice to see an Easter Egg included ;) Great work!
Thanks everyone! As for weird, even my wife "WTF is this?". This is my second LD and the second time I make a senseless game :P
Well, I didn't get it ? I got two rocks, went after the cow on the right, passed the spider on the left and stucked on the pig (could not jump over nor walk under like I did with the cow),
Interesting ideas, somehow. I rescued the ant! \o/
Innovation: 3/5 - Nothing spectacularly new, but nothing too derivative either.
Fun: 2/5 - Loses a lot of fun because the mechanics are not intuitive, and experimentation is discouraged (you can't win if you waste even a single rock, for example)
Theme: 4/5 - Eh, fits the theme, but it's not clever about it.
Graphics: 2/5 - Not pretty, but mostly I can tell what they are. Except that pink thing - I'm guessing it was a pig?
Audio: N/A - Not on a machine with audio, so not rating.
Humor: N/A - Didn't see any attempts at humor, so not rating.
Mood: 3/5 - Cheerful, but nondescript.
I play this game to the end and it was too short. The ant-walking sound effect was good.
Thank you for this.
FredericRP: see tip 7.
thristhart: thanks for describing your rating and the hnest review!
Ratking and Suese: :D
Well that was just plain fun! The best quality of the game, if you will, is that it enticed me to keep playing until I won. Great job with the variety between the puzzles. Oh, and that ant walking sound...so annoying yet so perfect :D
Overall, the game brought me back to the days of Kings Quest for some reason. Anyway, great job; thanks for making this!
R3ason: wow, thanks for the great feedback! It makes me feel a little better about the game (I was hating that I submitted it).
Very linear/puzzle-solving design. The audio's humorous. One of the weirder games I've played so far.
Is there a hint book for this game??? I can't figure out what to do after using the sticks. Fun game so far though.
How can i get the sticks?! i can't throw the rocks..but nothing happens..
Nice but weird :D
@Gremlin, @Daniel: Thanks.
@otaviogood and @Lidfrid: please see the game description above.
Congratulations fellow brazillian gamedev i like your entry.
But...
Though, i think i wouldnt be able to tell what to do in the game at first... if i did not read the guide you posted.
But overall i like it :)
Dude... Just hilarious! XDD "Wohoo!~ 8D" Hahahahahaha XD
Sounds were awesome! Game was fun too.
Neat game! The sounds started to get really annoying though, especial the ant walking.
Played through to the end. A bit wierd but that was part of the fun. Nice work.
Funny sounds but I just can't procees, I can get two rocks, but I don't find any wood, I can't get past the pig. Perhaps bit easier game next time.
I like it! Took me awhile to solve it, but that's part of the fun. I found the easter egg, too. :) A really zany and fun little puzzle game!
(PS Who else found satisfaction in buzzing into the cows butt as a bee to hear him bellow?)
I also liked the ant scuttling sound.
Hilarious! Though the sound effects may haunt my dreams...
WOW thanks everyone for the feedback! As I said earlier (or didn't I?): I work daily with games, so I take Game Jams as an opportunity to do the opposite of my work. That means, I can't make anything serious, I have to make something weird/different/sarcastic/etc as opposite to "make a game with this or that rules to make players happy or to agree with a mechanic".
@strega @ilo @MadGnomeGamer I made all sounds using only my voice (except Jump/Powerup which is CFXR).
@AdventureIslands please see " If it runs, you can also run away " -> so run away from the pig and you will see the result :)
This was pretty fun! The homegrown sound effects were fun and the multiple tasks/character was cool. Nice job!
Tried to hit web with stick: No result.
Tried to hit web with rock: No result.
Tried to hit cow with stick: No result.
Tried to hit cow with rock: No result.
I don't know what I'm supposed to do. But it was fun running around and having that thing happen to the pig!
I laughed with the sound effects, nice job ^^. Short but fun game, congratulations.
Great sound effects - really fun to listen, not too distracting. graphics do their job, and even the promised "stealth" element is there. Don't try to play without reading the tips!
I like the hints, but I'm still not sure what to do when I've acquired the bee.
Very clean jumping and controls, very nice camera and terrain control, and I liked the scuttling noises and other effects. I got stuck early; I lured the pig to the spider, but I couldn't figure out anything else to do, despite running back and forth a lot, so my ability to explore it was limited.
Very funny, irreverent, absolutely no idea what to do but I love the sound and presentation! Feels like it needs a bit more to flesh it out to a full game i.e a main menu, maybe some hints what to do, but I enjoyed scuttling around a while
found the easter egg.
