An interesting concept but I found the level design didn't do the pathing any favours. Good concept though!

Cool concept and I love ants
Interesting concept for an action-puzzle game, but definitely could have used more polish.
My main problem is how easy it is to screw yourself by placing the wrong pheromone. One pheromone placed in a way that the ants can't (or won't) follow means the run is over if you can't get back up to place another pheromone. It doesn't help that the controls are really strange. I normally associate Space with jump. And this is likely a problem unique to me, but I made the mistake at least six times of pressing R for 'red pheromone'.
The controls are pretty wonky as well. There's a wall jump that I can't get to work consistently. I fell through the floor several times. Having to vault over a thin wall made it very difficulty to get the queen over. You have to use the buggy wall jump and when you succeed, you have one chance to place the pheromone correctly or the queen will be stuck facing a wall for the rest of the run. The farthest I got the queen was 75%.
Also, your play link says, "Source Code", which will make some people think the only way to play the game is to build it from source.
