Great concept, benevolent god-like ant killing game, reminded me of being a kid. Great art. Good job.

Funny and weird! Pretty impressive for one day. You should definitely add some kind of goal system

Surround the ants with bananas! Oh wait...they are pushing the bananas out of the way???
Had some fun toying with the ants, I guess they were some super ants capable of anything ;)

Quite simple, but had fun killing ants ! (I'm a monster.)

Great antbox sandbox, good job with the AI.

Interesting concept. I really like the music.

Good idea, i love it. But you need more features and actions. May be some events and tasks for player.

That game is wierd.

I like this game, I was sat spam clicking for a while because I thought the mechanic was cool. I also like how you managed to implement a volume bar, something a lot of people might not think about doing. good work

as someone who does hate ants, i had a lot of fun with this game. burn them aaaaall.

Find myself wondering why death is represented by bananas… Interesting sandbox.

Nice catch on the theme :) loved the bananas :)

Strange game - interesting! Was fun to throw heaps of ants in and deliver judgement. Music was okay but a bit out of place I think.

Very interresting interpretation of the theme! Great concept and great realisation!

Yay, ant simulator! Am I a monster for killing ants? Nah... *kill more ants*

Web version doesn't load.
None of them are available actually.
It does look good though!

@kaype
It appears Dropbox is periodically having issues (possibly due to LD haha), it usually takes a few minutes if you see a dropbox error to clear up and become available again.

Pretty cool idea, great work with the sound and sfx!

Would have loved to have some kind of goal/score mechanism. Perhaps a judgement on how kind/cruel I was to the ants?

Nice art style. Obviously it would have been nice to have some sort of sense of the ants reacting to being judged and things. Emergent behaviour etc.. but obviously not practical for a game jam. This was amusing to play with though. Those poor ants.

zncatlaw 2015-09-10 03:44

Why is death a banana? This was fun!

Lol, yessss, someone did the ants + magnifying class concept. +50 bonus points for you guys :)
