Bunker Ant was a game made in around 10 hrs. for the Ludum Dare 56 game jam.

I highly recommend you play the downloaded version of the game, as the quality is significantly better than the HTML version.

In Bunker-Ants, you play as a large mutant ant trying to gobble-up as much food as possible before the timer runs out.

I created all the code for this game, but I did recycle some old code from past projects.

Credits:

All props were created by ithappy on the unity asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/publishers/53539

The skeletons were created by AlexN, also on the unity asset store: https://assetstore.unity.com/publishers/20710

The audio were random sounds I found. I will update this page when I find the sources.

If you like this game, I have a another game in the works with a small team called Cronos Syndrome on my itch.io!

v1.1: Allowed scaled jumping (jump higher the longer you press space) and fixed some foods having numbers in their names.

This is a game that raises more questions than it answers. Impressive for 10 hours!

Agree with above, impressive putting it together in just 10 hours! This tiny creature got super strong legs!

@imberny Thank you for playing! I think I know what you mean when you say that the game "raises more questions than it answers", but I would like to be sure.

@Codmen4000 Well there's a bunch of skeleton in ridiculous death poses. You just wonder how that happened. It's a compliment!

@imberny Thank you! Maybe I'll make a sequel/full-release...

@kirass Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what specifically did you enjoy about the game? I am making a game with a similar aesthetic, and I would love to know what makes a game like this work.

This is a fat ass ant, I really wonder what the heck happened in that room. Great entry for 10h!

Impressive for 10 hours of work. With longer worktime some consumables would be nice lets say for jumping highe for example. Good job :)

for 10 hours? you are crazy.. so good!

@derllie @joshua-reumann Yeah, every time I hear someone say "10 hours?!" I get this nagging doubt like "But did you really make this is 10 hours?" even though I'm sure I did. I think it's because people are so surprised, even though it's not particularly good. Anyone could've made it to be honest.
Well, thank you for playing and I'm glad u enjoyed.

Great worldbuilding! I love the humorous poses of the skeletons, and there was food where I expected them to be after exploring. Was a bit confused as to why some of the foods had numbers at the end of the names. Also the mouse sensitivity was unbelievably high for me (I played on web.) Nice one, well done!

@douuggggg Yeah, I didn't playtest the web build very much. For some reason Unity zooms in the camera on web builds (probably some setting I haven't figured out). As for the numbered foods, Unity automatically does that to make it easier to find objects in the editor. I just didn't bother renaming them.
Thanks for playing! I hope you had fun!

Great work! I love the sound effects and the humor.
I feel the move speed is a little too fast though, makes me dizzy after playing just a couple minutes.
Extra points for being a 3D game with html build.

@absolute-garbage Thank you! I'm fixing some small bugs people have mentioned as I'm writing this, and I'll take that into account.

I sweated hard and got 29!

A pretty decent level for such a short time and the game is oddly fun. I know I can crack 30....

for 10 hours and alone, it's a complete and cool game, well done! If you continue to develop it after the jam, I think adding a crouch feature would be interesting ^^

Codmen4000author14 Oct 2024, 18:32
@dianavi There actually is a crouch feature but I changed a few settings that broke it. I didn't have time to fix it, so I just left it as is.

This was great fun. I loved running round the environment as an ant. Also wondering what happened to the poor skeleton man. Great game!

@smurpy02 Thanks for playing! I have considered making a full-release of the game if you're interested.

Great Game overall! I really like the sound effects, it is just so satisfying!

The narrative of the location is beautifully conveyed, and it really draws you in—I wanted to explore every corner. However, when I tried playing on a laptop with a touchpad, the sensitivity was too high, making it difficult to aim at food accurately.

Adding more levels would definitely make the experience even more enjoyable and engaging. Overall, it's a great game with room for a few adjustments!

@kurakurture Thank you for actual feedback! This is probably the best reception I've ever gotten for any game, but a jam game especially! It has me seriously considering turning this into a real game!
