I ran out of time to implement my planned game mechanic that would tie this game into the theme, so for now you just shoot glowy balls.

The idea was that you would be able to see tiny monsters in an ant farm-like structure, slowly approaching various exits at the top, and each target you would hit would correspond to one path in the ant farm. Hitting a target would send a ball rolling down the associated path, and you'd get more points for hitting multiple monsters in one roll.

Well, the mood and overall ambience is kind of interresting. Unfortunately, there is no real game.

Don't know what to say, ambience is good though,

Cool atmosphere, gameplay needs more stuff. Nice music, too.

i like the mood, kinda relaxing. Like throwing rock in a pond.

I liked the mood of the game. Sort of an eery and otherworldliness about it. However, the gameplay lacks any depth. I enjoyed it, though!

Great ambiance like the others have set, and the lighting effects are really nice. Movement of the spheres and depth is kind of hard to gauge though. A pity about the ant-defense game not making it in!

I could have used a little more complete concept. gameplay seems fine and some graphic effects looks cool as well. Needs more depth...needs more time.
