Can't get the game to actually work, though it looks interesting!

danex317 2014-12-08 20:54

What is the problem exactly? I just double checked both versions and it worked as expected.

The management bit was nice, but I couldn't really work out which way I was digging. The enemy ants didn't get in, probably because I wasn't digging enough.

It would be nice to have some animations, for example, illustrating the amount and state of different ants. I liked the music.

Nifty game! Nice blend of rts mechanics and combat. Great job! Music is pretty good too!

Works fine for me. Needed time to figure out how to increase the number of ant per job... That was obvious but I'm tired after two days of jam... BTW I don't understand what the digger brings to the gameplay. They dig, ok, but what's the purpose in the game ? furthermore, the game doesn't fit the theme... but nice job anyway

Nice premise. I couldn't get anything to happen though.

Wait? How is this in the theme?

burgerdare 2014-12-08 21:43

reminds me a bit of Rymdkapsel, but it has a very interesting twist on the formula. Very neat.

I don't understand how to play... It doesn't make sense...

Nice little concept. I think you might need to make the arrows for assigning ants more like buttons. Took me a while to work out what to do.

Arrow keys or WASD for scroll would be nice. Great little tune as well.

We interpreted the theme as limiting all information to one area. No levels or rooms or other zones. Just one place. It's a bit liberal I guess but it's what we went with. So... that's how it fits haha. If it isn't good enough better luck next time I guess.

Fun! I had to give it some time to understand how it works. I like the concept, would love to see some more animations during the gameplay. Thanks

I found it a little confusing initially, but after understanding how the game works it gets interesting. As others have said, the lack of animations and more dynamic stuff on the screen takes some credit off the game, would love to see more movement! Good job!

hard time figuring out to do - still i liked the idea - nice work

The ui just need an over haul and than you game would be truly epic, its a shame tho :(

zkenshin 2014-12-12 17:07

Pretty neat concept, nice work!

domicuc 2014-12-12 17:16

Nice game, I really like the audio.

Btw. If oyu want, check my game, thank you!

tater_hater 2014-12-12 17:17

it was a little difficult to see what was going on, however the visuals were nice

wilson 2014-12-12 21:26

Cool game, very satisfying. I guess there's no actual point in digging stuff out right now? At least, I never found anything even after digging all the way to the bottom and checking out the sides.

pht59x 2014-12-16 17:53

WTF do you do with this? Does not seem to really suit the theme. Music is fine.

imyellowfish 2014-12-19 11:29

The management is fun! It might be better if digging brings something useful powerups for the player. And after some level ups, player's army value always dominates the enemy, and the waves seem more like a boost for ant numbers

ramonparaiba 2014-12-19 21:03

I loved this graphics

My ant kingdom is defeat. I can't get it. Poor ants xD
