READ ME!

This is my first game of the year that I finished so sry if I made some dumb mistake please point it out.

Parvus Anoplolepis gracilipes (ANTLINGS) is a game about yellow crazy ants trying to keep it (the queen) alive.

In this 2D sidescrolling top down flight simulator trampoline long jump can't decide what to be game you play as 3 DIFFRENT yellow crazy ants one workker one major and one queen. This game was also kind of an experiment with unity's 2D lighting. A is go left D isgo right S is rotate clockwise and W counter clockwise. W and S are also up and down in the flight simulator mode. THE HTML5 WILL CRASH AFTER YOU BRING HOME THE SECOnD FRUIT.

I am an 12 year old so please don't judge this for like a team of peapole with a lot of experience. Also no swearing here have a good day!

Well I was laughing my ass off when the termites got flung at me, and watching the ant flop around as I tried to steer it. We are in a competition for bad controls my friend. Good effort.

I had a lot of fun with it. Very random and fun vibe.

Loop the music and cut the volume a little bit hard chiptunes are harsh on the ear.

Keep practicing! Focus on not throwing too much text at the player all at once. It's very creative and the subject matter is very interesting!!

Neat use of the theme. The objective of the game was fairly clear, and the concept of controlling an ant in that way is interesting. There are some bugs (get it?), but it's a good attempt. Keep going!

Fun game and creative idea! I became a major but didn't make it past that. Trampoline part is really fun

@darriasart where did I forget to loop the music?

@kythehuman I know the game is so buggy that I couldn't release the html5 version it just kept crashing :(

I would say you are Picasso in gamedev! It's impossible to express better how hard life of ants is! And cockroach invasion is so fun))

That was fun! I like how the tension builds up. The moves are a little chaotic but quite amusing and it works anyway. At some point my score started increasing really quick but I continued and things happened normally. Loved the evolution too. Please keep on doing games if you enjoy it!

@ilya-nazarov @ramo Thankyou for feed back I know about the points rising fast it is due to negative floats and unsinged longs
