Cool little game, I got 37! I love the magnifying effect and how you also used it in the menu to have a common theme.

I saw in the credits that you specified another person. That should technically disqualify you from the Compo and you should register this for the Jam I think.

Cool magnifying glass effect! Good idea, but it became repetitive after a while.

Interestingly, it is more fun to play than I was expecting.

But the game is full of bugs. ;)

This game is hilarious! So simple but totally fun!
Scored 261!!!
If you are going to develop it further, here are some things to add:
- Bigger ants taking more time to kill
- Animations
- Ants coming from all sides
- Increasing difficulty over time

Nice game! I really loved the music and art style, I scored 189 points =D

Very fun little game! The magnification effect was really well done, great job!

I hate ants

5/5 to you pal!

Ants are the natural enemy of man. Relive the halcyon days of youth.

I played that for much longer than I expected. Ending up killing 284 of the things. Simple but amusing, nice work.

Have all my stars! This was amazing!!

Fun game! I got 129. It was quite difficult to get the ants out in the open due to the distortion on the magnifying glass, but I assume that was intentional. I realised quickly that the best strategy was to let the ants come to the sugar and then destroy them at the last minute. Multiple sugar piles would invalidate this strategy.

A bit addicting, but ultimately not enough variety. I stopped at 250... It became very easy when I realized that the ants only had 8 different spawn points. The magnification effect was cool! Also, the music added a lot!

I really liked how the magnifying glass affects aiming at the ants. Cool game.

This game is very polished and well done! I got 216!

Perfectly simple but effective fun. The strong must protect the sweet!

Simple game, but fun. 107 score! Gj!

I really like you game, it's entertaining and addicting. The optics of the magnifying glass makes it not too easy. I had to laugh when I realized that the pile of sugar actually shrinks when ants reach it.

jushii 2015-04-24 01:39

Love the magnifying glass effect! :D It's so annoying when you just spin the glass around without hitting the ant. :D Killed a bit over 100 ants on the first try. Good job!

sledknight 2015-04-24 01:49

Hahahaha! I loved it! Really liked the magnification, it added a bit of disorientation and increased the difficulty. And the wiggle of the ants was a nice effect to simulate running when there was no leg movement. Simple, but nice job. I got to 87.

selzier 2015-04-24 01:49

Good Job!!!

yuigoto 2015-04-24 16:30

Whoa, this is fun! You made it simple, but in the best possible way! :)

The whole package (graphics + audio + concept + gameplay) works really well together and the game is well balanced on difficulty.

This has the potential to become a serious addiction.

Good idea!

belowzerogames 2015-04-26 16:30

I really like games with ants for starters and I liked this one as well :-) Great Job

seankimdesign 2015-04-26 23:19

I got to 125 on the first play and turned it off a bit disappointed that no other enemy types or difficulty increase would happen. But other than that, a fun game with a lot of potential. I, for one, really enjoy the magnifying glass effect. Kudos!

megaponies 2015-04-29 01:03

133 fried ants here :p
The very cool magnifying lens effect adds to the challenge of hitting the little buggers!
Nicely done!

ranmaru90 2015-04-29 03:29

Fun little game. :D Great magnifying effect there!

elpaulo 2015-05-04 18:32

Fun game, a little bit repetitive, but fun :-)

kloudrazor 2015-05-10 15:18

Much better implemented than my version xD

ciderpunk 2015-05-10 15:18
