Anthead RPG

It'd be nice if you built this for OS X and Linux too.

Very well, good sir. It shall be done.

So, my mother won't let me boot into debian. If any of you has linux, you can download the source file I included with the project, you just need to build the project with SDL 1.2; I'd appreciate it.

So can you do anything other than move that ant around the screen?

Nope! I hope you enjoyed the game, sir.

I've spent so much time on this RPG. It's tough to put down :)

Well, it's a starting point!

Very funny on the minimalism concept xD hahahahaha

A game generally has some sort of goal or failure condition...

I don't know why, but I laughed.

I like the "eh" comment.

The simplicity is almost artistic, I would say. There's a strong postmodern feel to it, as suggest by the violet square background, the simple ant. The title supports this perspective--the explicit "RPG" label without any traditional gameplay elements associated with RPGs. It's asking: What is the RPG? What are RPG elements? And that's a very fitting question for the current industry climate; almost all modern games have taken to leveling aspects and there's even the gamification of not-gaming apps, challenging that either all of these ideas are RPGs or that maybe RPGs must involve other elements--but what? And that's just one side to this game; the purple square casts obvious allusions to Kazimir Malevich's famous Black Square on a White Ground. It states bluntly and plainly: "This is whatever you want it to be. The message is of the viewers'."

So, yeah, not sure that something of that depth quite fits the theme though. :/

All the fun of being an ant, without all the feet stepping on you.

Playing this game made me feel like I could carry 50 times my body weight in pixels.

It's not much of anything.

Well, you get high marks for the theme, that's for sure.

Well, the any moves when I press the directional keys! That's pretty cool, but some additional gameplay would be nice :).

I guess it makes sense the arrow keys don't repeat.

dafuq did i just ... 5/5

I'm lost for words here - so I have to give you some credit for that.

There's minimal everything in this game. Including minimal gameplay!

Good start. Magenta background hurts the brain though

Not really an RPG. You could have spent more time on it (if I recall, you actually finished on the first day)

A good start to get your hand in programming; though a shame you didn't go further. You should continue with it (leaving the extreme minimalism behind) and work on making it a game with a proper lose/win condition.

Still a classic.
