It's interesting. I like how i can go upside down and on the sides of the tunnel. It's cool. But i'd like to see an explanation on what the pheromone does. But it's cool.
I couldn't figure out the goal, if there was one. The controls were fun though, it was nice to be able to come out of the tunnel. By the way, the tunnels looked really good.
I LOVE THE GAME! Its so pointless but awesome. The mechanics are really fun. When I made it out the tunnel, climbed the tree, then suddenly my ant got a green Mohawk, was that intentional?XD
At first I thought the camera movement would get annoying, but it ended up feeling 'right'. It was surprisingly fun to be an ant. I would love to see a more developed version where your sent on missions by the queen ant, and maybe a more complex ant hill. But for 48 hours, this was extremely well done, good job! :)
Wow. Interesting idea. I can actually see an ant simulator being a fun game now :)
The animation could use some work, and it would be nice to have some audio. Also, some sort of obstacle or enemy between you and the food would have made it more fun. However, I like the idea a lot. Good job :)
I like this game. so peaceful and non-violent. Fit the theme very well. There's no audio (just double checked again). I hope people make more exotic animal simulators.
I really liked this. Give the ant a little more speed and make it so I don't get stuck trying to get on the tree and this would be awesome! Great contribution overall :)
Great concept, this game made me realize that it's just very very fun to play insects. It reminds me of a playstation 2 game where you played a mosquito. Would had love to see humans in the game. Or animal or some sort. even other insects. But that seems very complicated to implement for a Ludum Dare. Good entry
Interesting dive into the eyes of an ant, feels very empty and lacking sound and animations, but with a bit more in this it could be a very interesting sim.
Enjoyed looking for food as ant, used background knowledge of Ant Desire to seek the exits. Great scale. Wish leaving pheromones was more immediate, felt like clicking / pressing control did nothing a lot of the time. Skittery-clicky sound would be lovely.
Very trippy, I have to say. Interesting concept, for sure!

I really like this, the tunnel crawling works really well (I even had to have a look at your source to work out how on earth you'd done it). And emerging out onto the surface is an awesome experience. Would be great if there were other AI ants that followed you, and you could set up routes.
A day in the life of an ant. Interesting idea. Not sure how the pheromones mechanic was supposed to work. I did manage to acquire and return a tasty leaf back to my nest though. :)

i managed to fall off the tunnel into nothing :))
But not much of a game. There's no goal.
considered the idea of adding more missions. But it's cool.
The animation could use some work, and it would be nice to have some audio. Also, some sort of obstacle or enemy between you and the food would have made it more fun. However, I like the idea a lot. Good job :)
I really like the wall climbing!
if you put more "rooms" and diferent paths into the nest it would be great!
It's fun to be in the skin of an ant ! the graphics are good and the controls are nice ! but It's hard to don't get lost !
Always one of the big question "what's to be an ant?"!
You guys finally gave me a bit of an answer! :)
