Nice AI! Graphics are a little crude, but overall enjoyable.

Interesting gameplay mechanic, although I wish the ants moved a bit faster. Reminds me of Lemmings, in a way. I found it kinda fun figuring out how to navigate the ground until the level with eight apples... during which I came to the important life realization that I'm glad not to be an ant.

I have a feeling that 8 apple level is a troll level :P The first thing that sticks out to me about this game is that it desperately, desperately needs a 8x speed button. Other than that, definitely getting a very good lemmings vibe. Has a lot of potential, wouldn't mind seeing a version with more time put in. Good work!

Simple and fun. Pace could have been a little quicker, such as the long black spells in between levels. Entombing the ants in dirt causes them to turn crazy and morph into butterflies. Dirt butterflies. Dead dirt butterflies. Whoa.

Loooved the Idea! Programming and Art could use some tweaking but brilliant concept

That was cool, I really like being able to dynamically manipulate the terrain. It was also fun figuring out the proper way to make the ants move to the fruit.

Like others said the pace of the game is kinda slow and fast forwards button would be nice.

Otherwise really good use of the theme!

I like the mechanics! Also, this game changed my mindset about ants ;)

Really good idea. Unnecessary slow in the 8 apple level haha. Put a speed button or something.

Reminded me of simant, pretty cool concept if it was expanded and polished it could be really awesome! It actually gave me an idea for a totally different type of game haha!

Excellent idea and the gameplay feels very well implemented. You should definitely go on to polish up the graphics and add some audio.

Cool game, but it could've been more than this I think. Cool stuff though :)

liked it, but my ants sometimes ran through the earth (when the incline was too steep for them) (using firefox 18.0.2)

Nice game!

Nice concept.

I don't even lie when I say that this was so simple and brilliant that it transform into pure genius.

These kind of gameplay is so good and easy to learn and addictive!

A nice little game! This would be a fun mobile game.

A bit rough, but the terrain deformation is done really well!

linuus 2014-05-02 12:02

I would have liked some sounds and better graphics, but the gameplay was really nice :)

delca 2014-05-02 19:28

A simple game with a well-executed idea. I liked it, but the last level was not 'hard work', just tedious once you got the first apple. Still had fun playing it, good job!

Interesting idea for a game which is quite enjoyable and nice to play.
