Super ant JUMP! Fun game and get harder every time!

justinmullin 2013-04-30 21:18

Challenging for sure. Good entry!

prelucid 2013-04-30 21:19

Great and simple! :[]

Nice take on the theme. Good job on finishing your game!

I had fun with this, despite getting squished many times! Nice job.

Some of the obstacles, like the bug that crawls along the ground, appear a little abruptly and were quite tough to react quickly enough to avoid.

Also, the color of the springtail and the background could use a little more contrast - it's tough to see the springtail when jumping.

fun fun fun ^-))

Had fun at first, but that jump makes you feel like you're out of control. Good soundtrack, but the piston sound is too loud for how often it is played.

Jumping over the beetle was too temperamental to be fun, though.

This is game is very much a springtail simulator. If you've ever seen them jump, they are pretty out of control. They land on their head half of the time.

HA! I love watching other people play this. Also, this dude with 80 fucking legs is a beast! I'd hate to be an insect in his house.

domrein 2013-05-02 04:16

Why are there so many stomping legs in this house?!? Pretty fun simple game though. The jump is a little wonky, but it had a nice feel to it over all. Really quick action.

Nice! It was a bit repetitive. I guess the difficulty balanced that, but it'd be nice to see some more variety for future progress :D

tsamisaherb 2013-05-02 04:17

I liked the music and the graphics

tanius 2013-05-02 05:29

ehehehe simple game, nice graphics

graytest 2013-05-02 05:31

Good music and graphics. Good challenge, although I'd have preferred to restart the room instead of the whole game every time I died. I got more difficult when the beetles entered, and was a bit annoying to have to run through the first room every time.

ryusui 2013-05-02 06:26

I'll admit it was the music that kept me trying. XD

tehskull 2013-05-02 06:30

The jumping is so hard. Make the game wider, so you have more vision of the scary bugs.

minionstudios 2013-05-08 04:11

I got smashed. and then I played this game.

acro 2013-05-16 23:44

Very challenging, and I can't make out what this has to do with the theme. I think the controls are good - it feels solid and precise, and I like the that the view area *is* that limited, it makes sense from bug's eye view. Maybe. But given that it's so easy to die, it is far, far too slow to reset - die, press enter, fade out, fade in title screen, press enter to play, fade in, show "level 1" overlay again. There's just no reason to go back to the title screen. I quit after dying for the first time in level 2 and having to back to the title screen again. That's just harsh!

goodlookinguy 2013-05-17 07:20

Minimal graphics. Minimal screen view. Minimal sized player. Minimal number of challenging objects. Minimal title screen options. I would say there's plenty of "minimalism" going around.

grambler1 2013-05-17 08:49

Having to start over from level 1 each time I got stomped killed the game for me. :/

kddekadenz 2013-05-17 08:53

Meeh.. I wish you had more focused on the high jumps of the flee.

martin_monosys 2013-05-17 22:25

Uh, makes me itch... who makes a game like this ?!? :)

make-a-game 2013-05-17 23:37

This is a cool take on the theme. Good job with keeping things simple and "minimal"!

xeke_death 2013-05-17 23:45

Man that thing can jump...! Took me a little to realise it was actually jumping, with it being quick and blending into the background a bit...

madmichaelofmetal 2013-05-18 03:16

Yes. I already informed him about the color problem, but it's something he already noticed after he released it.

To the other comment, it's called a flea not flee...and it isn't a flea. Look up Springtails and you will see they can jump really high. It's entertaining.

firefly 2013-05-18 09:24

Simple but really fun. Great job!

andrewshouldice 2013-05-18 20:10

Nice music!

stqn 2013-05-18 20:16

Work well but it's impossible to avoid the creepers on level 2 due to the speed of the game and low visibility.

goodlookinguy 2013-05-18 21:30

@stqn It's not impossible to avoid the beetles, it's just really hard (maybe you meant 'impossible' figuratively?). People other than me have made it to level 3 and 4. I've only reached level 3 and I made the game.

natedog9145 2013-05-19 04:45

Nice fun addicting game that will make you rage. Good game
