Quite good game, lemmings-like idea. I enjoyed it a lot.

Lemmings idea is still playable and fun after all this time, and by adding you to actually be one of them makes it enjoyable. Of course technical execution is a bit weaker, adding few animations could make it more lively.

Overall good job. I enjoyed it, and keep up the good work.

Great game! Love the jazzy ant-info screens, they're hilarious haha. The puzzles are fun and it fits the theme nice. My only gripe is a few early levels felt harder than some directly after them but besides that, I think with some polish this could be really awesome!

This felt like an educational game, but with more focus on the fun over education. It is really well done, too! Good work!

Great idea and audio too! The ant introductions were stylish and I liked them a lot. First levels seemed a bit harder to grasp for a new player but I stayed for the ant facts!

Really enjoyed this a lot, definitely one of my favorite games this Ludum Dare; I'm glad I downloaded and installed Java to play it. I liked the art as well as the music a lot; my only real gripe was the game was extremely easy for quite a long time. The first challenge that I came across was racing the two green ants to kill them to 1. save the brown ants, and 2. kill the ant on the block to open the path. Fantastic game for sure.

Surprised that there are not many Lemmings like game. I think the concept works really for the theme. I think the tutorial is also a really nice and helpful addition to your game. Graphics and sounds are good and make the whole experience enjoyable in general. Well done!

This is a very fun game! I like the mixture of humour and educational facts, and the Lemmings-style mechanic of blowing yourself up so that your fellow ants can progress.

I dunno if I'm just being an idiot, though, but I can't figure out how you're supposed to beat Level 2...

Oh man. I was immediately pulled in by the music and menus. It's feels a little like Cyriak imbued a bunch of Lemmings to be ants and I freaking love it! Brilliant job on this! Thank you for making this game xD

Cool little game! I kind a found it weird that you didn't use the graphics from the info pages for the ants. I liked that the infomercials gave actual facts about real life ants. Also "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya!" :heartbeat: :wink:
