The fire is WAY too small - seems like it could have had much more generous collision and the game would instantly be a lot more fun. I like the concept though - maybe more fires so you aren't just constantly orbiting a central point?

Quirky twist on the theme! I like it, although it's rather difficult. :p

Yes! Beat it! Certainly an unconventional pest control method!

ManicMiner, i think you're right

First I thought WTF but then I suddenly got it. Cool concept! 10/10 best game ever, would play again. :-) Please rate my game at http://ludumdare.com/compo/ludum-dare-32/?action=preview&uid=16225

Man this is so hard but i also really liked it !!!

Lacks of balance and makes my super rig lag after a while but anyways the best score I've given so far :D

Awsome job !!!

Like the idea but like ManicMiner said a bigger fire or more fire for the ease of play would be a nice touch.

When there is like 400 ants it totally crash my browser, so maybe something to kill a large amount of then (like throwing the vacuum) would be nice, or a way to cap the population.

Hehe really nice idea :D Pretty difficult though

Fun and addictive game! The fire could have been bigger.

Great concept. It would be a cool game if you had to use a shed full of yard tools to defeat hoards of pesky critters. haha fun game

jk5000 2015-04-20 17:59

Great idea but much too difficult.

calavera 2015-04-20 23:01

Awesome! hard but fun. I really like the music.

fanttum 2015-04-21 00:31

Haha what an interesting idea. Was kinda hard, but fun to play.

The game was amusing. I felt that the ants were relentless and it was difficult to kill them, they eventually stack up and kill you instantly. Perhaps a little balance, or having ants come in waves?

Cute idea, plays smoothly but seems pretty difficult to win.

eddynardo 2015-04-22 11:42

Nice game, I would only add a dificulty level where the fire is bigger and the ants whould spawn slower..Btw at some point I started lagging too much..maybe too many enemies at once

maesk 2015-04-22 11:48

Nice game! Quite hard, but it's a very original idea. Good music, and a health bar would be great. Keep it up!

rishal 2015-04-28 14:08

Nice idea. A bit difficult though.

mrodrigues 2015-05-01 06:09

Awesome use of innovative mechanics! Though, it's too difficult due to the constant stream of ants, there should be a pause sometimes, or a way to blow them farther. When they get behind you, you're basically screwed! :P

steboots 2015-05-03 22:48

This was really hard! I found that evasion until the ants became a single unified mass was my best strategy. Had fun with this game, nice!

gv1351 2015-05-04 13:30

Controls are a bit weird

aflatminerstudios 2015-05-06 01:41

Overall, really nice game. Either a slightly bigger fire or more fires would have made it easier. More fires might have made it more exciting, even if they were small.

emmelineprufrock 2015-05-06 02:39

I didn't quite catch the idea immediately, (the fire wasn't terribly clear) but it's an interesting take on the concept.
