WOW! Love it! :heart:
It's so fascinating to play! Agreed with @etom - very hard to stop playing. Interesting and fun gameplay
I have a feeling that your game will won innovation I didn't tried many yet but plumber ants is my favorite candidate so far great idea and pixel art is the superb choice feels so good to watch water flow and unstopable ant army, outstanding job congratulations!
Awesome mechanic i loved it!
It's a great game. It was fun to play and simple to get. Congrats :)
Great little game, reminds me of Conway's Game of Life. Very innovative and unique take on the Deeper and Deeper theme. Excellent work.
Amazing game! I love it.
TIL that ants can't swim. :sweat_smile: I had fun, and I know this is the kind of game I could get addicted to but I have no idea what the goal means. How much water? how deep?
This is my favorite game so far of the jam. I wish I could see the goal a little clearer, but I was mesmerized the whole way down!
I've always enjoyed pixel physics games since playing powder game on danball, and this was a cool take with giving agency via living pixels acting on an environment with fluids. I am a little confused about unlocking progress bars since I'm at 100% goal and like 55k points, but don't see new bars?
really cool concept, I found myself playing for way too long, really adictive!
absolutely couldn't stop- super hypnotic. ive grown attached to my horde of ants
Very reminiscent of liquid wars. Neat to see a cellular automata game like this! I had a lot of just playing around watching the ants work to get to my mouse cursor, and the liquid flow. Nice work!

We're in for a wild ride.
Too addicting guys. Too addicting.
Very interesting game. I liked it.
I hit 20 thousand.
Send help.
Enjoyed the game, great concept. I like how far you can zoom in. It's the little things.
Fun, unique, addictive. Well done
Digging tiny tunnels and watching tiny waterfalls is oddly satisfying.
This is pretty great. I lost track of time and made it to 564,570 points before the game finally started dragging enough to take the fun out of it. screenshot-1.png
Got huge powder game vibes from this one. Really relaxing and somehow engaging. Cool game!
Really good game, it becomes adictive really fast!
I love it! Any chance to be an ant is a chance I want to take. It reminds me of a sandspiel game. It's satisfying to move your little ants and watch large areas of water falling. The only issue that I had was that my ants all bunched up-- it might be nice if they had some boids mechanics, where they tried to not get too close and even did some wandering at times, to keep them apart. While I understand why the level would continue to get longer, it did kind of feel like no matter how much progress I made, I wouldn't get to see all my sweet water at the bottom-- you progress is kind of taken out from under you so to speak. Minor things in the large scheme though, this is a really unique entry, an an experience that I was glad to be able to have.
Thanks a lot for all your kind comments! :)
This is very hard, requires a lot of patience! Its a very unique mechanic, amazing work. You could add some music for the game! Congrats
Just awesome gameplay! It keeps me going for half an hour or so! Congrats! :)
Simple, yet strangely compelling. Maybe this is just my bias but I'm craving some upgrades or the ability to spawn new ants haha. But maybe I'm just impatient; I know that the further you get the more massive your army gets, anyways. Neat job!

I had been building PERFECT dam with ALL water pieces down at the ALL bottom pixels but unexpectedly map was expanded :D Such a trick!
Great game! I loved liquid wars, so this was right up my alley, hehe, well done. p.s.: you weren't kidding about the addictiveness, lol
I really loved it really addicting 10/10 would control ant again well done !
Brilliant game! I've been digging for almost an hour! Thought there was a bottom but it seems it goes forever. So addicting! There's something about ant games that I've always loved (Real ants, not those 3d animated movies) 5/5 stars except from audio.

There's something so satisfying about a single ant making the way to the army and rescuing those poor drowning pixels. Brilliant work!
Strangely satisfying! I like how the water flows, the bubbles rise, and the ants flock. Sometimes I wish the ants were a bit smarter and found their way through corridors or around each other instead of lining up. And maybe the mouse cursor should have an area of effect so not all ants end up in the same place in the end. To make more of a game out of it, maybe the ants should drown after being in water too long. And some goals other than just getting the water further down. But this is a good start!
