the graphics is very nice. Seems to require quick typing.

This game is super fun!! I love all the different ant animations, and the way the game ramps up is challenging yet exciting. I was able to hire 11 ants, hopefully I can get to 12 some time!!
Very cool game! Great game-feel and animations, the game felt overall super-polished. Though I did have a little problem where the bottom of screen was cut of so I couldn't see some words.
@hom-bre thanks for the tip! I updated the itch.io window to make it taller; hopefully that'll resolve the issues!
such typing.
great game! Simple, but well finished. Feels fresh to play
This was so insanely sweet, everything about it ❤️
Nice concept and I loved the consistent feel.
No matter how many times I play, I can't get past nine!
Nice one, the music is kind of chill (and the game is, at least at the beginning ^^").
Very lovely artstyle 😃
This game made me realize how reliant i am on auto-complete and spell checks, lol. I made it to 10 ants, so i think i did OK 😆
It's a quick and fun game, good work!
Quick game with good visuals, I enjoyed playing it! Good work!
mavis beacon teaches typing but with ants, simple but effective, makes typing fun.
Cool graphics and sounds especially for a compo 😃 There were a few times where I couldn't read the words which were at the bottom of the screen when it was in fullscreen and where fired because I couldn't figure out what it was. It's bit frustrating 😂 Here is just a screen of an example where the text overflow the screen : howtoplay.png
Thanks for the heads up @hugo1306! You get the golden ant award. 🏆 🐜 I went back and disabled fullscreen mode, so nobody else has to encounter that bug. Next LDJam, I'll make sure to QA both regular *and* fullscreen mode haha.
This game is so intense!
This was a cool typing game. I wish it would have either told me my wpm at the end - or even better - if the words would tell a story about the ants I'm hiring. The art style was simple, but cute and effective. I cared about those little workers. The craziness of having multiple words to take care of was effective in causing me to worry and just chase words as fast as I could. Sometimes it felt like the wrong word was picked up, that's probably because of my mis-typings. I wonder if having backspace as a feature would be useful. Either way - it was pretty cool. Thank you for the game.
@ubershmekel I love WPM idea. If I make any post-compo edits, I'll definitely include that among them.
Saw Birdwards playing this on his stream and had to try it out since I enjoy typing games. Cute entry, loved the simple art style & animations! I appreciated that the game would give you a moment to pause between "levels" and would only start when you began typing the next word. Got 11 ants on my first try, 12 ants on my second :D Its a bummer full screen wasnt working and would love to see an endless version where you can see how long you can last before an ant gets fired.
Thanks for playing @elysiagriffin! An unlockable endless mode is a great idea! I’ll add that in once the compo judging is finished :)
