One of the few endless runners where I actually try and go as far down as I can! Great concept!

Loved the music, fun game!

Very nice concept, well executed! Nice way of using a generated maze.

I really liked this game! The first time I played it I totally missed the part about saving ants increases speed. I was just rushing down and leaving my ant family to die. Karma caught up with me on that one! Second run I started rescuing and got to 51 ants / 76 cm deep. Having to decide whether to save an ant or go down was really fun! The maze was really easy to solve because it seemed like it was in rows with only one cell that goes down. If I had one suggestion it would be to make the maze be more random so that the game would be more challenging.

I love the idea and concept, especially the use of a maze!! Also I love the mini intro animation at the start with the bug spray haha. I had a lot of fun playing this! :smiley:

This was really fun! I honestly have almost no gripes about it-- the art style is cute, the animation is great, and the gameplay has a good risk-reward element to it. The only pointers I have is that it kinda takes a while for the insecticide to pose a threat, and that the music gets a little repetitive after a while. But, since there's a setting to toggle the music, the audio is still a non-issue.

this was a fun game to play and also a challenge to keep ahead of the poison. Thanks for making this game.

Fun little game. I like the idea of running away from the A* algorithm, it's something new. I enjoyed playing it, managed to get to almost 1m deep. Also the music is great. Nicely done!

Damn, this was the most intense game I've played so far! Once the game starts picking up speed, you are constantly panicking, trying to find your way through the maze while you also have to navigate it... and it's damn fun! It's honestly impressive how well the randomly generated maze works, it never felt unfairly hard but I always had to check I was going the right way. Control wise, everything was great, I was able to maintain my control even at 60+ ant speed. The sprites are nice and the music is fitting. Only complaint I have is that when you run diagonally against a wall, you massively slow down. At higher speeds this happens fairly regularly and can disrupt the gameplay flow a bit.

So yeah. My record is 221,9cm, I had a lot of fun with this game. Thanks for making it!

Счастливая, безмятежная жизнь муравьев подошла к концу. Ничто не предвещало беды в этот день - над головой светило солнце, небо было безоблачное, и всё было как нельзя лучше. Но тут пришли они - борцы с муравьями. Они безжалостно стирали всех муравьев на своем пути, поскольку видели в них только своих злейших врагов. И вот, одна из этих машин для уничтожения муравьев обнаружила муравейник нашего героя. С диким хохотом уничтожитель взял свой "Антимуравьиный спрей 9000" и сделал пшик-пшик.

Беги, муравей, беги!

The game is very fun, I liked it a lot, it is a very original concept. I reached 54.99 cm

ultimatewalrus 2021-05-02 03:42

Super cute, especially the music. The maze generation is impressive. I got down to 189 cm :)

pedrocoden 2021-05-03 11:25

congratulations, your game is very well done, I really enjoyed playing

bgcrausen 2021-05-06 01:27

Absolutely loved it, the concept, the music, the graphics and the final product is amazing! Excellent game and super polished!

zathnic 2021-05-08 03:09

Wow, super unique concept! Very well executed, it gets very exciting when the game gets fast to try and stay ahead of the poison. I never really went into the longer passages though, maybe there should be a few more ants in there to make them more rewarding?

viperux 2021-05-09 10:47

Well done! I really enjoyed the game :-D It took me several try to reach deeper than 200cm... It would be nice if you could really save those ants... However the game is really polished, nice music, funny start with the "ant be gone" spray that makes you understand what's going on. Good job!

I like this!

True engagement and pure emotions! Now I'm thinking about conception of the game: you can run fast, but you will die in any case.
