Great concept, great art and fun game! Good job!
Finished in 17 seconds :) You should at least let the winning screen last 1 second, the first time I won I did not see the exit and won, which means that I was still pressing an "up" key so the winning screen disappeared instantly...
The hitxbox of the spikes is a bit too large, in my opinion the character shouldn't die when he is just on the side. Here is an example http://i.imgur.com/G4FFBwj.png I'm jumping up in contact with the wall, but as soon as I reach the spikes I will die, even without an obvious collision. Otherwise it was fun to play!
A bit repetitive but still addictive! Played it to the end :)
Good game overall, original inversion mechanism! I think the health punishing is good, but you should add a key for restarting the level. I got stuck in the level where you have to shoot red balls into blue walls, since when I was too close to the blue wall, the red ball went through and I had no way to restart the level or to die.
This game was hilarious :) Nice job on the funny ambiance!
Very original game :) Nice mood and fun to play!
I thought it was well-balanced, I finished the game in the first try but with very little life!
Thanks :)
@harleylaurie: the queens used to drop also soldiers ants, which enabled them to be more defended. However, we saw just after the deadline that a variable had changed and that the queens only drop workers ants all the time... I'll have to test for the mushroom level, maybe the weights on the map are not adapted.
@BuriTeam: it crashes for every map? What Windows are you using?
@Clinthoney: we had planned to add a lot more stuff to the game, for example some text instead of just "victory" or "defeat". Basically, you can buy some additional units, or "plant" things in the ground to prevent the red ants to attack the queen.
@GamerTaters and Lukbebalduke, thanks for the feedback, we will test and try to solve that crash.
@theholychicken: Thanks :) The queen only drops a unit every second or so, which means if you buy units (the first two icons) they will be queued and created as soon as possible. For the other icons ("towers"), they have to be placed on the map!
The intro was fun! In the game the keys "s" goes left and "a" goes down, I think it should be the opposite, no?
The puzzles are very innovative, and the whole idea fits the theme perfectly! Good job!
