You're a worker ant, so the only thing you can do with your life is work... Right?

I recommend trying the post-jam version since it makes one of the quests clearer.

tried to dig out of the ground various times and digging in general always bugged me out(pun intended). well written, well presented, well put, well jammed!.

This was a cute little game! The story was a bit silly (not sure how those ants plan on surviving), but I enjoyed it. It did bug out immediately after digging for the first time and I had to retry on the post-jam version to actually complete the game though; you may want to push the post-jam version a bit more to avoid frustrating other players.

My major criticism is that having the controls anticipate the player's expectation of what each direction would do based on where they came from (despite being an interesting idea) possibly led to more confusion than just having each direction be absolute. I definitely had a bunch of moments where I got turned around because the controls did the opposite of what I expected.

Great entry!
