Today I learned ants can't type.
I was expecting something else entirely and you gave me what I didnt know I needed. An IT ant, wacky music and a surprisingly funy story.
Pretty good making checkpoints in the printer part to accompany the player every time.
Only problem is in the printer part, you can straight away to the end for the upper platforms, bypassing that whole part.
It also has nothing to do with the theme, but I am thankful for it.

@FrederickK: we left that there on purpose as an easter egg/for development purposes. thx for telling the world ;)

and it definitely fits the theme, it's just not taken literally. We've mixed an ant's world with our own. Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it

This is kind of neat, just not too much for the theme.

@CodeNMore, think outside the box, man. Not every game needs to be literally slamming planets together

Web links to "my games" page, but the other link on the description works. Please make the text faster or skippable! It's so much slower than is necessary and results in a lot of sitting and waiting. Other than that, a solid game with good - if a little fiddly at times - mechanics. Nice interpretation of the theme.

I cannot input the ant's name and stuck there. This looks like quite interesting though

The web link takes me to my own games! The link in the description works though. Funny game.

First off it's a game with ants in it well that's just cool in it's self ;) And you did a great job of mixing the gameplay up and the story was great. 5 star work all the way.

This game looks like it could be really cool, but i'm not willing to sign up for some random website to play.

Fun game, love the concept and the story. Printer level was devilishly tricky in some places, bit too much for my liking. Love the ending.

hahaha hilarious game! I tried to type Antony (pun intended) but the ant let me down. Very fun to play, but it would be good to be able to skip or read texts faster. And it was pretty difficult to jump on the platforms in the printer right. Great game nonetheless!

Very funny, great story, superb ending. If I have one criticism, it's quite difficult to play, taking the combined talents of me and my wife to be able to complete the game. However, we're very happy that we did - great game!

Interesting game, it would have been good if you could get the texts immediately and not have to wait so long to read it :)
