Really love the look of this, nice job! The controls feel pretty good too. I was little confused on how to best optimize the cube for the ants, but it was a fun simulation to watch.

You should link your itch.io page back here, like you did with your LD39 itch page. I had to jump through hoops to find this entry on ldjam.com (crazy that the LD site doesn't have a search feature!).
Really like this entry. One of the best on-theme ideas I've seen yet. Great job.

Thanks folks! Good idea @fergicide I'll add such a link right away.

The concept is super cool. Maybe lack of sign or feedback, you are a bit lost at first when you start

Thanks for playning @Baesama and @Rs11s21n ! The gameplay is definitely super rough and awkward. I have no concrete plans to improve it right now, but will consider it in the future for sure.
