pretty cool! as an ant enjoyer I cannot condone the violence against ants, but as a tower defence game it's got some super solid bones! I think I broke the economy with the catapults though, I very quickly had enough money to just buy everything almost faster than I could spend it.
Ahaha all good, glad you enjoyed the TD aspects nonetheless. I’ll have to check out your spin on the ant theme!
Yeah unfortunately we did have a bug in the released build where dead ants could be killed multiple times which would reward points each time. So that was especially powerful with the Xploder tower where ants would get practically instakilled from all sides and reward more XP than other towers, assuredly breaking the economy. Lesson learnt — we’ll have a fix up after the jam. Thanks for playing!
Very charming little tower defense game! The art style and overall presentation is wonderful. Since you had the bug I can't really comment about the balance, but it was kinda fun just completely demolishing the ants.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
I love the PvZ style letter at the start! The Xploder is OP - I was able to beat levels 2 & 3 with one as my only tower and no upgrades lol. The visuals are really well polished, I had a lot of fun watching the ants walk into my tower >:)
Thank you — we had a lot of fun coming up with that backstory. Yeah, the Xploder was not meant to be that overpowered; there was unfortunately a bug in the released build of the game in which dead ants could be killed multiple times and reward extra XP for each kill. Post-jam we should have a more balanced (as intended) approach to the game’s economy available for play. Glad you enjoyed! :D
5/5 this is wonderful
I did not make my game that good :(
Thanks! I’ll be the judge of that though :)
This might be one of the hardest games I've ever played for the simple fact that the ants are really cute and I don't wanna kill them :p (Really great game though!!!)
Ahaha, I feel you there! Thank you for trying anyway 🫡 (Appreciate it!!!)
I I I LOVEEE THE ANTS!!! THE STYLE OF THE ART ASSETS ARE SO CUTE,,, THEY COULD NEVER MAKE ME HATE THEM!!!!
THANK YOU!!!! We had a lot of fun designing them; glad it came through!
Cute!
Thank you! :)
DIE YOU STINKING ANTS
Very fun, short tower defence game that I think would fall apart if you tried to extend it with how easy it to completely overpower the later stages. However with a small game, destroying it all is just silly fun and satisfying.
Thank you so much!! Unfortunately there was a bug in the build we released where you could rack up extra points for your towers killing already dead ants -- we caught it just a couple minutes too late to fix, so the unit/upgrade economy is definitely a little more broken than intended. But we're glad you enjoyed your reign of ant terror anyway! >:D
I love the presentation of this game.
Thank you Amanuel :D
