Very well done! Great SFX!

Good execution on a classic idea!

This is a cute idea. The sound effects were especially charming, and I enjoyed watching the ants swarm after reaching the food.

This takes me back, my first ever games were made on scratch years and years ago. Love the ants following the path after you find food like real ants would, it adds a ton of character and the noises the ants make are fun.

A-maze-ing! (pun very much intended) I think I have never seen Scratch for a Game Jam entry! Amazing. I have used Scratch years ago for my very first coding / game dev project and it was really nice. Never expected to see a LD entry with it. Good job.

Simple mechanic with cute SFX and many levels. I believe I stopped after 5 mazes as it did get a bit repetetive. I did enjoy watching the ants swarm out but would have loved even more ants.

Nice clean game! Sounds feel a little unbalanced but overall cool.

very nice game, simple passage, but I think thatโ€™s even a plus

Nice work! I particularly love the little game design elements you added like the ant whistling for their friends when they finally get to the end and the way that they all come running through the maze after them. Overall, a well made little game.

Very cute and funny game! ๐Ÿœ The sound effects give it extra charm, especially liked how the ants start calling their friends after they find food. Simple but addictive gameplay with many levels. It was nice to watch the ants running through the maze, adds a special character to them. Great job!

That was a lot of levels! I would suggest adding some more variety to make it more interesting, but still good job!

The first time I called the ants and they followed my trail to the food I smiled because that's what I would have expected the ants to do. Maybe without the whistle :)

Nice entry, and your development toolset is very unique :) I'm not sure I've heard of MatLab being used as a gamedev tool but it certainly works!

I played a bunch of mazes and just assumed it went on forever lol. Nice to see someone beat it.

Well done on a cute simple idea, would have been nice to have music that makes the player wanna continue and engaging sound design though!

Love a good maze puzzle, cute and one of the first scratch games I've seen on here, good job!
