Reminds me of Lemmings, in a way. I found it kinda fun figuring out how to navigate the ground until the level with eight apples... during which I came to the important life realization that I'm glad not to be an ant."},{"author_name":"john_conder9","author_uid":"12682","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 6:41am","epoch":1398753360,"text":"I have a feeling that 8 apple level is a troll level :P The first thing that sticks out to me about this game is that it desperately, desperately needs a 8x speed button. Other than that, definitely getting a very good lemmings vibe. Has a lot of potential, wouldn't mind seeing a version with more time put in. Good work!"},{"author_name":"Lolshouse Dev Team","author_uid":"29857","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 6:41am","epoch":1398753360,"text":"Simple and fun. Pace could have been a little quicker, such as the long black spells in between levels. Entombing the ants in dirt causes them to turn crazy and morph into butterflies. Dirt butterflies. Dead dirt butterflies. Whoa."},{"author_name":"Keehan12","author_uid":"8708","time":"Apr 29, 2014 @ 7:32am","epoch":1398756420,"text":"Loooved the Idea!
