Cool pixal art! My frined jump out of the map 2sec into the game,LOL!

Really nice art stood out to me! Played for a little while and had almost all the office workers mad at me! :'D

Love the graphics!

Very good art and music. feel very polished. The gameplay was a little boring and confusing something but still very enjoyable.

Great art. Cant work out the elevator for quite a while but still managed to deliver a package. Then I struggle to pick up the package near the elevator button and fall into the elevator well. Great fun!

haha cute! the theme is really interesting and the title is great lol. the graphics are also really nice! (as a few people mentioned: you can exit the elevator while its in motion and then later on jump into the hole and out of the map haha) anyway, good job!

Lovely graphics, incredibly polished, extremely unintuitive controls made the bumbling-intern-everyone-is-annoyed-at experience feel very real. I kept asking people about the package while wanting to give it to them, or giving them a package when I wanted to ask them about it, lol. There's great potential here, a bit of user experience work this game would be a true gem.

Exciting game! Really nice art and music!

Lovely art and music! Toxic work environment so realistic it gave me anxiety 10/10

Those ants are mean! Great vibe, it took me a little while to understand what to do.

I love the graphics in this game!

@zerovirus Hehe, yeah controls could use some work.. Was a struggle to compact the design into something that allowed you to select a delivery and get the necessary context. Thinking on it now it may have been better to tuck both asking and delivery into the same button with a UI option to choose and have triggers to switch the active delivery. Thanks for playing!

Cool graphics. I like the idea of the game, and the audio suits the game very well.

There is no ui element that let me know how much time I have left, and I think it would be better for feedback to the player. I think the controls should be something more memorable, because A, Z, X, seem a little arbitrary to me, and I need to check the instructions from time to time.

Overall a nice game, great job!

erebrus 2023-05-02 17:33

@daniboygg , work is from 9 to 5 :)

Very interesting game with cool art, although i found it very confusing and somewhat *bugged* when it comes to going up and down the floors

zeit 2023-05-03 03:23

I love the art and mood surroundings, and the ant delivery game is interesting as well!

obe-dot 2023-05-03 16:05

Good job! Nice graphics and music.

fragment-games 2023-05-03 16:07

Good entry :-) Should have added some screenshot to this page, because the graphics and the overall look and feel of the game is great :)

dx-diar 2023-05-03 16:12

i love this game it's great

erebrus 2023-05-03 17:38

@fragment-games , thank you for the tip. I just uploaded a couple.

paul-avallone 2023-05-04 06:02

The art and animation in this game is wonderfully well done. I love their little ant voices and the music was really great. The control scheme was a little weird having 'A' be interact on keyboard but that's my only gripe. Super polished. Fantastic job!

Liked the pixel art with the different ants and the decorations in the different departments.

The controls took a lot of getting used to, I kept getting confused between asking and delivering. The doors were a bit annoying sometimes, I had to move away and come back to use them

forager 2023-05-04 14:08

@chybby Yeaaah.. sorry.. tried to hotfix it earlier, but it was a stupid fix. Got an actual fix incoming later today. Thanks for playing! :)

ludovics 2023-05-08 23:09

Quite nice, but looking where you have to deliver the packages takes too much time for no good reason

eli-heinrichs 2023-05-11 03:26

Good game! The art and music fit the theme and gameplay so well! I loved all the interactions you get from the ants. Looking for stuff was a bit difficult but overall i enjoyed playing!

Amazing pixel art and VFX! Very impressive what your team could do in the time. Loved all the little movements and bounce and animations. The environment was delightful to look at. The sound was pretty good as well. I could not get very far into the game due to extreme difficulty with the controls however. Between controls that seemed very unintuitive on keyboard and getting lost trying to deliver packages-- I know that's the core mechanic!-- I was frustrated too quickly. I also found that the elevator controls were not responsive and I had to move around a lot to get them to work.

Also missed opportunity calling it "Ant resources" instead of "human resources."

erebrus 2023-05-12 18:39

@thesmellofoxygen , missed opportunity indeed! Sorry about the controls. You are right. At the end we were too bogged down to improve it properly. Of course, on the next day it was clear to us how to do it 10 times better...
