I managed to get a score of 276 on my playthrough. A very simple concept, but it was very fun. The round where you had to find ants which curved in the correct direction was rough, but very rewarding.

Nice Concept, Fun Execution. I got 117 on my Playthrough. I rarely see the magnifying things since all the things are moving at quite a speed (even the slow ones) so by the time I take a look, the thing already left the scope. but it's nice mechanics. maybe you can add some stationary invisible ones that can only be seen using the magnifying glass. Overall, I had a blast catching these critters :boom: :grin: :thumbsup:

I did not blink for two entire playthrough. Spot on with the theme :)

Even more impressive did the game in such a small amount of time. Congrats.

This would make a killer Mario Party or WarioWare style minigame!

Fun idea! I'm impressed that you could come up with a game that hooks me in 5 hours :D

This game was really cool! I loved how much variety there was with the ant movement

Simple concept, but I did find it really fun and engaging! I feel that the speed difference in the first round was a little too subtle and I almost felt like it would be easier to just click randomly.

Awesome for a game made in 5 hours ! Too bad we can't use the magnifying glass because the ants are too fast ^^

Fun gameplay idea and great take on the theme! I think some sound would've added a lot.

the tongue a little bit stands out from realistic style of anteater and magnifying glass)

I love scrutinizing ants!!

Really liked how much breadth you got out of an otherwise simple mechanic with the different behaviors in each level.

A real gem for anteater fans everywhere!

Fun game, especially for just 5 hours work. My high score was only 91.

Impressive for 5 hours of work. I've only managed to get ~90 points on my first play through, as at first I was looking at the magnifying glass for no reason, losing precious termites.

Good game

The most fun and most innovative game I've played in this jam so far! I really enjoyed picking out the patterns of the ant movements and the comments of the picky anteater were also quite funny. Sad that there's no sound, would've loved some slurpy licking sound when I gobble up the little insects. And some approving / disapproving sounds of the anteater would also have been really funny.

Very creative idea with all the different movement patterns. Ended up with 119 points :)

Great idea! Nice that it kept switching up the rules after a bit to keep things interesting.
