I love this game genre and I love the pun in you game's title xd I agree that it feels a bit unpolished, but it wasn't that big of a problem for me and I managed to complete all 8 levels. I think it would be useful to list how many ants I'm supposed to save in each level, e.g. my solution in level 8 left me with only 1 ant reaching the exit and I'm not sure if there is a better way I'm supposed to solve this. The wait command is kind of weird, because the ant's walking direction is the same when you remove the command and thus if you use it to block other ants from falling off the cliff, you can't really save it. I think the direction should be reversed on removing this command.
Also, there is a mute button and a shortcut, but there is no audio, right? Or did I miss something?
I enjoyed this game, and it is the first of the jam games I've rated that I've stuck with to the end and managed to complete. I had fun doing so, and felt nostalgic for Lemmings! I think it would be nice to have a time bonus or encouragement to save as many ants as possible. Thanks for the relaxing puzzles!
Nice game. Had a good time figuring out the optimal path through the levels and actually caught myself stressing out over my ants not building bridges fast enough. I like the tileset you used, even if you can scroll past the enclosing walls to expose the game world. Honestly, I thought that was charming in a way.
It would be nice to have an indicator about which drops are survivable and which aren't because I had to guess (wrongly sometimes) where I could drop.
The game had a great old-school Lemmings vibe, and I really enjoyed the puzzle mechanics. One thing I noticed was that sometimes when I stopped an ant, it would get stuck inside the tile. Other than that, I was able to beat the first five levels, but I had some issues with level six. Overall, great job!Screenshot 2024-10-10 190655.png
EDIT: I just read the page body, and yea I was right! Lemmings! haha great job!
Got a chill lemmings vibe
Good puzzle game!, though couldnt complete last lvl because of a bug, 5 stars
Game worked fine! I like how the ants move and stick to the ground. And you did a great job on the UI :thumbsup:
I think level 6 really feels like a lemmings level, where you have to combine all 3 abilities to reach the goal. Level 8 is a head-scratcher, but I'm glad that I was able to reach the goal with one ant alive after a few tries. Good job!
Nice lemmings clone. I can see why it's not polished yet but at least you got some basics done. And as you said, there are bugs and ants here.
Wow! The game is so wonderfull! I can play this 10 hours straihgt! Keep making games!
Don't put yourselves down, for such a short time it's an amazing thing you've created! It made me recall all the hours spent playing Lemmings back in the day, you've managed to recreate the feel of the game pretty well here. The sprites for the level parts and the ants are alright, pretty good choice of assets here. The music is rather calm, but it does have a bit of that classic Lemmings cheekiness to it. Mechanically there are some minor bugs, but that's mostly stuff that can be avoided by the player, so it isn't such a big issue. Overall, it's a great jam entry, well done! :D
