I can of don't understand why it's a RPG and not an action game, but well. The screen is really small on my macbook pro retina on windows, but I it's not your fault I guess !
Still, some nice ideas, it lacks a bit of graphics but the gameplay is nice nontheless.

Good game, good concept.
The game could use a little path finding in it, though.
Often the enemies would get stuck on a wall and allow me to endlessly shoot them.
I think you should work on this for a post compo version!

Nice small and fun game, but the player and enemies are very hard to see clearly. You didn't really have to make them as small as an ant, lol

That was actully pretty cool!
When I first loaded it, to be honest I didn't think it would have much (any) content. Then I saw that there were multiple extra attacks and enimies and changed my mind! Really cool game. If you had more time, maybe work on the graphcs, otherwise really good!

Looks fun, but this is the only game so far where my anti-virus software gives me warnings about the download ... so I dare not play it, sorry (Of course I don't rate it either).

Graphics reminds me of ZZT, Good Job!

Way more fun than I expected! The special attacks and enemy types made it for me. I'd love to see you add some polish to the game post-compo.

Amazing! A little art + your particle fx and it's a perfect little game:) Also, ai is cool!

Really enjoyed that :D but very difficult with a trackpad!

I found the gameplay really enjoyable, even surprisingly so! The little particle effects were satisfying and reminded me of many old classics like Spheres of Chaos. Those red enemies are really mean! With more varied level designs and some side goals this could become a really wonderful thing :)

Great! It's like a more action-focused ZZT! :D AI is kinda dumb, but super-mean. Please make it into a bigger and deeper game. :D
Don't want to sound like I'm advertising myself, but you may want to check my one-screen rpg.
Cheers!

What is this? An RPG for ants? It needs to be atlas 3 times bigger.
Looks pretty manic, so much going on.

spacedoubt 2014-12-09 23:19

haha! @asobitech beat me to it!

хорошая игра!

Cool game. Nice abilities.

Not really an RPG but it's definitely for ants! Fun little game.

I wish I could resize the window, it hurts my eyes after a while! But its a neat little game. I like the special abilities, and how it is randomly generated (I think).

Cool game, a tad difficult but challenging. The visuals could have been a bit more anty. (Yes the title is a bit misleading but heh no big deal).

Fun little design, and I have a few thoughts. I would have preferred to see a line-of-sight system rather than area of detection, which results in shots coming from rooms that you can't reach. The controls were easy to manage, but that dying sound... it hurt my ears. lol
