Good Idea! Like the simple game-play however it's not perfect:
you can get 2 ants on the same square(they become useless) when one falls on an other.
Nevertheless, good game!

I really like the idea!! It needs a bit of work but still a nice game so far, i see alot of potetial :)

Well, it was quite fun indeed :-) I noticed that you can have more ants on the same square, so they usefulness depends on how many are them on that "shared" square. Also it lacks some goal or some threat for the ants.. But all in all it's good entry.

This was pretty neat. I would play an expanded version of this, could make a fun puzzle game.

good little game but really difficult to handle

Nice concept for a puzzle game. If you would add some way for your ants to get killed it would make it a tricky game where you have to think ahead what actions to do to keep your ants alive.

Neat, but not enough danger/reward to keep me going for very long... I did have some interesting puzzle moments trying to get a few leaves down. What I liked was trying to get the leaf, you would create a mess in your wake (or with the other ants) and then you'd have to try to get the other ants to dig out the leaf-carrier and make a path for him.

Very interesting! The mechanic is really fascinating, particularly when the ants start crawling on top of each other. Would have loved some animation or alternate frames for the ants so it illustrated them standing on diagonal blocks or climbing. The light mechanic seemed unnecessary, particularly when a bunch of ants got together in an inferno of light. The ant theme fits the mechanic so perfectly though - I love it!

Cool, got a bit too bright with too many ants in the one place. Nice graphics and innovative concept on controls.

I like the lighting. Well done.
