Actually very fun concept! But it did take a while to figure out that I needed to wait for the bar to recharge to do damage - a few tooltips would've been nice. I also was confused what the different buttons did. Overall fun and I could see how it could be addicting :)
The unique background adds a lot of points to the game!
Damn that was a lot of fun! I loved frantically clicking away at the ants. And beyond the clicking it had enough depth let me take decisions such as fighting off the ants vs destroying their spawner. It felt really well balanced. And the introduction of the powers really kept it fresh at every level. The music and sounds were just so whimsical, I loved it! And on top of all of that you have a brilliant level selector.
I like the idea, it was fun to play. It took me a while to realize I had to destroy the anthill as well.)
Good game, oftenly used bomb to kill one nest, had to react quick when i almost losed... nice mechanics and attacks, 5 stars
I love the choice of music, that really kept me going! I got to level 5 before I gave up. I would have liked to be able to select the different buttons with the number keys. Well done! :smile:
My bigges complaint about the game is that it was TOO SHORT since i had so much fun playing it. Best overral jam game i have played so far.
The difficulty curve felt little weird to me since the levels actually got easier the more power ups and i would liked to have stronger enemies or something. The 2nd ability was useless to me and i mainly used the basic click and bomb. Freeze is way to long for the cd it has.
To me it felt little like a rythm game since getting to groove of tapping the basic attack to the music was really satisfying and efficient strategy. I would have liked to have keybidings for abilities since clicking the ability always ruined my tempo and flow.
I thought at the start that the critters ate the food and and the health bar was how long i had to defend. I realized my mistake of sometime wondering why nothing is happening even though i keep smashing these bugs and realized i had to destroy the nest.
The repairing of nests is really good mechanic to the game.
This game caught me off guard with how good it was. The difficult was scaled just perfect so that I had just enough time to learn the basic mechanics before being faced with a real challenge. The art style, music, and UI also all come together to form a very coherent vibe. It all feels like it belongs together, not like it was thrown together in a few days for a game jam.
I got stuck on the cake level, but this game is extremely fun! Great job!
So good! Art fits together well, glad you added different attacks gives the game more depth. easily 4+
I think a bit more of a tutorial is needed, I was playing the first level for way to long until I realized I needed to alternate between keeping the food safe and just attacking the hive. After that it was easy but I think level 3 ramped up a bit strong so I lost interest.
Really fun! Great job
Was really fun.
The abilities were all pretty neat and added additional depth and strategy, but I mostly found myself using the bomb and the normal shockwave.
At first I thought the anthill's healthbar a timer counting down how long a level so I was just spamming shockwave next to the pizza until I realised I had to destroy the anthill, I feel like there should be some signal to the player that destroying their anthill was the main objective.
There are levels! And it works, it is fun and I want to get to the next level and see whats up there! Very nice
Well this is hilarious! I wish I could use the keyboard to pick the other abilities while I'm still clicking bugs with the mouse - it seemed like I should have been able to (1-5 keys, maybe?)
Awesome entry! I loved the mechanics, mood, graphics, sound, all!
My bf just asked me if I was trying to protect a sandwich from ants. Why yes, yes I am! The fact that you have to destroy the den and then kill all the ants actually makes this more interesting than most defense games, and the music was fun. I like it.
Ants are tiny creatures! #KILTit
I really enjoyed this one! I love the polish that y'all put into the UI (particularly the level select) and the game mechanics themselves are pretty novel without being overwhelmingly confusing (which is a huge feat, given the chaos that is constantly unfolding on screen).
I do think that if y'all were to map the abilities to some keyboard keys (like QWERT or 12345) it would make the experience feel a lot better and enhance the chaos and frenetic gameplay, but that's a minor complaint for an otherwise fantastic game!
