Waiting for the Windows build
Nice job! I've totally got a soft spot for ant games.
Victory for tenderfoot! Smooth and fun.
Can you share a bit about the development? What tools/frameworks did you use? Where you familiar with them? How well did it work out?
Fun game here.
Good whole, original idea !
I won with only encountering 1 red ant, I must try again !
Waiting for an iMac to play the game on...
Or the Windows build, I guess ;)
I like it when the entry really tries to play to the theme, and not around it. Creating an awesome platformer with a "tiny world" sprite sheet is awesome, but innovating on gameplay to meet the theme requirements takes a lot more, IMO. Thanks for this. I miss SimAnt :))
I liked collecting the food and finally proving who is superior...that would be blue. It would be nice to have an attack button. I liked the music, AI, and fun factor. Good job!
Thanks for the feedback, fatSquirrel - Space is the attack button (you bite the enemy ants, just like your pickup food) :)
I'm also waiting for a Windows or web build. Looks fun!
I've love it!
I have always loved the fact of just controlling one player of a team, and the rest controlled by the AI. (Like in my game)
It could have been a bit more difficult.
Waiting for a Windows or Linux build.
Waiting for a build I can play, looks nice.
Thanks for the comments everyone! I'll have access to a PC tomorrow so I'll try and get a windows build up then!
Please do, I really want the Windows build :)
Pretty nice game! I really like watching the ants fight each other.
Can't play (don't have MacOS X machine available).
Surprised how many people made a game containing ants... still very nice!
Gameplay is super smooth and fun, graphics are great, sound is not annoying :)
Difficulty is way too easy. My blue ants crushed the reds in 2 minutes with me basically doing nothing at all.
Overall a great game!
Very fun and addictive!
Well made game, the text positioning could've been better but apart from that there's not much I can copmlain about.
Nice graphics and music, the leveling system was a good touch too.
Excellent game! Great fun to play :). Victory at commander level with a population of 85. It took ages to track down that last crafty red ant! Anyhow really great entry, amazing you can make that in 48 hours.
Love the music! SimAnt was one of my favorite DOS games back in the day. I wish the movement controls were mouse-based instead of WASD; it was strange seeing all of the other ants moving in straight lines while I had to move at 45° or 90° angles.
Fun game with smooth controls! Love the background too. Good job!
Cool graphics.
Wow! Love the whole sim-rpg concept. Could have kept playing this game for quite a long time ^_^ . Nice controls - wouldn't mind seeing this one expanded on. - Cheers!
Reminded me of sim ant a little. Was fun even those the red ants never fought back. Somehow relaxing just collecting food.
this is a great concept - it's a shame you had to cancel those features you wanted to implement
I really enjoyed being an ant :D
it induced some "hey, don't hit my buddy!" feeling - being like a big brother for all the ants, which got even better since the player becomes bigger and stronger as the game progresses
I derived a little too much enjoyment from making my ant dance to the music...
*ahem*
And the game was pretty good too!
Nice game, and great music!
Fun game! I really liked the AI for the ants, especially how I had to fight my own ants to get to the food first :)
Nice little game, neat AI :)
Looks cool, unfortunately I can't play it, as I'm on Linux. I'm only posting because your game shows up on my queue when I search for "HTML5" so I need to clear it out. Looking forward to your entry next time! :)
Exciting idea and cool music.
Very entertaining, i love ants! Too bad it's so short.
