The part where the 2 ants are fighting and you have to knock their hats of, if you fail and kill an ant the hand becomes invisible. But i really love the concept of the game!

I don't know how to describe this, other than I love it. Exactly the humor and crazy game play I've loved from you guys before. Great work :D

Well done! This is a really great game. Its charming, hilarious, its a good story that pulls you in the minute you open it up. I also really enjoyed the challenge of the game, the mechanics were quite impressive.

Fantastic game! You should be happy you made it.
Just too short and a bit rough on the controls.
megaelliott26 Aug 2014, 11:12
I really enjoyed this as short as it was. This so charming and the use of the theme was truly great. The game plays quite well although the controls area little bit fiddly but that also kind of makes it fun.

Some of the most fun I've had on a Ludum Dare game, you should be proud of what you have achieved :)

Ahah this was so funny ! To bad it was to short :p

First time I'm running game: Loading, settings, pause - they put a lot of work into that. Next I'm staring, and look and feel of the hand is amazing! That game is so polished!

This was awesome, I love it!

Great game, I wanted to play this ever since I saw the development printscreen you guys posted. Good job!

Forsooth this game is hilarious. Blessings be upon thee!
Boberro26 Aug 2014, 20:33
Wow. Very solid, very clean.
One problem I had was with my controller (non xbone) - it detects it, and axes are working, but any button crashes the game.
PAMVllo26 Aug 2014, 21:38
The art style of the game reminds me to Octododad, good!
Greg Klein27 Aug 2014, 03:53
Excellent work. It's always refreshing when a game makes you laugh.

i am blown away by this, well done! you and your team really created something unique, witty, and fun. great job!

i did have an issue where some of the textures were just white (the whole hand was white for me, no colors or textures at all)

Same problem as Fish : the hand becomes invisible so it's hard to finish the game. But this game is amazing, so fun x')
liquidminduk27 Aug 2014, 09:02
very unique style of gameplay, frustrating, but in a good way
Love the visuals, I really wanted to see more and explore more

Top marks from me!
Jakub Koziol27 Aug 2014, 12:36
You have some kind of soft spot for awkward movement simulators, don't you?
Anyway great job! The whole thing feels awesome as a whole. And the humor... I'm still laughing. :D
Njord27 Aug 2014, 13:42
I really love the concept. There are a few bugs here and there but playing a finger and try not to smash ants is awesome !!! Congrats

Love the premise. :D But damn if it wasn't really hard to control. Graphics were superb and the humor was top notch. Great entry :)
TeamEagle28 Aug 2014, 20:44
Very cool idea, the hand is a bit hard to control but still very fun to mess around.

A bit short though :)
Kayelgee28 Aug 2014, 21:27
Great game. I just love it :D
Pierrec28 Aug 2014, 22:48

You made me kill an ant!
I loved this game, great potential with a bit work on the controls :)

One of the most creative games I've played so far this LD. Loved the concept and the visuals work so well. Did find it at times a bit difficult to control the hand but definitely a game I would play again if the controls were tightened some more. Great entry.
Traumendes_Madchen1 Sep 2014, 19:31
It was fun...until my screen kept witching between the game and my desktop. I guess my computer is too shitty to handle those ants ?

OMG, I don't know how you came up with an idea like this but that's genius ! The octodad-like physic was a clever way to put some Gameplay in the game. Congratulations !
