It's time to feast!

This is amazing, super well made and fun great job

This is incredibly well-crafted and has a high completion rate! Fantastic work Jared!

Sammich


This whole concept is insane, well done everyone! It looks, feels and sounds amazing and it is really fun. That opening too!! Just wow!!

Absolutely incredible, took me a while to figure out the perspective and how to build effectively, but was fun the entire time I was learning it. 5/5 across the board.

There is something soothing about balancing a sandwich, and the ant character arts are very charming! Well done!

That WATER!! My eyes are still sparkling, great job! I thought the mechanics of this game were fresh and inventive, and I really had a good time rapidly spamming left click to try and balance my sandwich before it capsized. What a clever game, great job!

Wow amazing work! Really super polished game. The mechanic is great and a real challenge to keep the sandwich balanced. :smiley:

Bonus points for the epic cut-scenes and the creative mode.

Would definitely be something that could be released as a full game , with more food types perhaps ( and locations :smile: like on a train / boat with extra inertial forces ) Top marks!

Haha, great entry! Top notch mood and creativity. And it's amazing how hundreds of ants can be in a WebGL game here, did you use DOTS?

For some reason it didn't run on Firefox, but works in Chrome.

Keep up the good work!

@gord10ahmet no DOTS at all. it's just they get batched properly and reduce the draw calls

Nice Game!! I saw Proggz playing this. Its so cool!

Hey, this is really quite good, genuinely impressive, and you can clearly see the inspiration from Katamari, with that whole bizarre storyline featuring insects and tiny creatures. It's very amusing.
The art is simply delightful, and the game, with its chaotic and frenetic nature, is really fun.
It's akin to a 3D Tetris with a Katamari mechanics and vibes.

Moreover, the characters, their sounds, and the comic book style of the cutscenes are quite enjoyable.

Great entry! I love the idea, and it was very funnily done including the impressive intro - really puts you into this "world" :D

I felt it's just so relying on them spawning towards the camera, since that's the fastest way to grow the lines, and that made it extremely hard to really draw a line sideways/upwards for example, which I originally thought it would be about. Not sure how that could've been accomplished tho :sweat_smile:

Production quality and polish are superb, fellas. This is a great example of taking a super simple concept as far as game mechanics and presenting it in an incredibly stylized, fun, and polished way. Love the vibe and absolutely nailed the execution. And that intro tho! :nail_care: :ok_hand:

you guys bring so much joy to ludum ^^

hell yeah \o/


love it!

Impresive work, this is pretty much a finished product! The gameplay mechanics are quite simple, but the whole presentation is amazing

The best opening cutscene I've ever seen in the history of all game jams

This was great! Really appealing art, a super fun and simple concept, and the pace of how things escalated was spot-on!

I've sadly got no notes to give, just wanted to pass along the positive feedback!

Woooah, that's really impressive! And incredibly polished. Also, I could listen to the music all day.

For some reason the opening cutscene wouldn't play in the web build (I'm using Firefox btw). It just looks like this:


The rest of the game works though.

I also downloaded it afterwards bc I was really curious what the cutscene would actually be like. It did not disappoint!

I don't even need to tell you how amazing this is because you already know it. Spent so much time trying out different strategies but had to settle with a seventh place. Would love to see how @meep did it!

@sockenpuppe thanks for going the extra mile and downloading the game to watch the intro. we are very proud of it.
And probably it's some sort of codec issue(isn't it always) with the WebGL video player.

Damn that was amazing! 5/5! No notes!

Wonderful style and simple but fun gameplay, nice job! Intro is top notch, just for that you earn all of my stars

Absolutely fantastic work, such fun trying to keep that sandwich perfectly balanced, and an incredible level of polish a truly impressive accomplishment!

I guess the only thing I can complain about is that you all keep making it more and more difficult for me to find something to criticize 😅

I'm only saddened by the fact that I keep getting worse at this game (I got to 11th place; then I tried going for the 10th and instead got bumped down to 12th, and from that I proceeded to never get to 4k again)

An inventive physics game, the tip to pile ants at the bottom helped me a lot. The introduction animation was stylish and high quality too.

Its incredible, everything, theme, introduction, inmersion, gamefeel, everything, the only problem i have with the game was the perspective. But it's undeniable the love they put into this game, I think I'm turning into a sammich...

Greetings from another Sandwich game!

peek fun, peek art, peek program, and peek audio, 5/5 for sure
I always love you guys goofy idea and this one really hit the spot, I tried to build ant cidital first and after so many failed attempt i just realize there is a sculpt mode in the main menu lol
Nice job as always!

The intro is a work of art. The rest of the game too :D

GREAT entry! The game itself was fun! The darn food drop rng was deadly! But what really set this game a part was the intro cinematic!!! that was hilarious!!! Will be playing more! I will find an optimal method for this game and out score my friends!

What an awesome game. Thank you for showing me that I needed these ants in my life.
I MEAN LOOK AT HIM.


Now my sandwich isn't as appealing.
nice game


*^My creation*

I really like a comic part of it. So cool!

Idea feels unique.

But I can't go back to main menu, had to reload the page :')

Amazing entry! I'm so impressed by the level of polish you achieved here.
From the intro cartoon with animations, to the crazy deep yet intuitive gameplay and a leaderboard!

This was super cool to play on stream and I will try to come back and beat NotTobugis score :)

no bugs strat pretty OP

This game is an absolute joy! The intro is top-tier—seriously, it's like watching a mini-movie. The concept of stacking ants to build a towering sandwich is so unique, and the physics-based gameplay keeps you on your toes. I loved experimenting with different strategies to balance the sandwich while keeping it stable. Amazing work all around, and the polish on this entry is incredible!

A very fun game. I liked the style and the music with the sounds in the game) The Jam theme was implemented coolly. I was impressed with many details in this game, even the intro at the beginning is already worthy)

Quite impressive, fun top play, great intro, scoreboard... and it's DIFFICULT I cannot reach 4000 points!

Thank you for making this wonderful game. The mechanics reminded me of my favorite game, Katamari Damacy. I can tell you all have a wonderful sense of humor, and poured your heart into this.

Very fun concept!

haha, it was so much fun, balancing in 3D space wasn't easy, but I got used to it pretty quickly :) very cool idea, and the execution is Everest height!

The quality of this game is mindblowing! I love the dynamic soundtrack a lot too, it really adds a lot. I've had a ton of fun with this!

THIS IS SO FREAKING GOOOD WHAT

Incredible entry from the Keyboard Cowboys. Five stars all round if you ask me. Absolutely top-tier game that I'll 100% be coming back to after the Jam

As always the keyboard cowboys entry is a delight. A unique twist on the theme and a novel mechanic combined with strong visuals. As we said in the stream, a little more camera control would have really allowed the creation of more elaborate ant-based art.

Awesome game. Challenging game. Wonderful art and sound. Not sure what I can add to what others have said. I got to 3250 points. Would play again.

This game is really polished, and the cutscene was very professional. The gameloop was very fun, and there isn't much I can say that is wrong with it. Great entry!


Tons of fun! I really enjoyed the music and graphics! I had a bit of trouble lining up the bugs, but once I was told they go towards the camera, it made it easier!

A really fun and well executed entry.
By the way, your intro is just awesome !

Finally a game that fits the theme with a fun and original idea! It's suepr hard but everything is so polished I'm amazed you could do this in such a short time ! even the photograph at the end and the leaderboard ... just waw. Just a small remark (maybe the only thing negative I have to say and it's not even about the game) when you make updates and fixes it should be written what those were about on your game description (I'm really confident it wasnt much since early comments are also talking about a super polished game but it's just a matter of transparency).
Oh and also, amazing intro, I laughed hard at this, well played all !!

Funnily, it didn't want to run on my Firefox (was just stuck on a blue and then black screen). Run fine on Chrome. So, you made me fire up Chrome... for shame :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Simple, fun and diverting :grin: Intro is superb, I applaud the comic book style. There's really no negative that I can see. Seems super-polished and is definitely enjoyable. Well done!

Hi @tyrannas thank you for the kind words! :heart:

For what it's worth, we have not worked on or updated the build of the game ever since we originally uploaded it on submission day. :thumbsup: Hope that clears up any confusion!

@coleslaughter I'm just saying this cause on itch it says that you have updated it two days ago :)

@tyrannas Ooohhh, I see! Perhaps we can make that more clear with an Itch devlog in the future. :slight_smile: It's generally pretty common for us to update the information/assets on the game page after submission to make it look "more enticing."

But rest assured, when it comes to updating the game itself, we at the very least make sure that the original submission is always available (both downloadable and by default on WebGL) and we make it very clear when a build is a post-jam version. :thumbsup:

Thanks for bringing this to our attention!

First game it's a bit weird, but then when you understand it's quite fun. I found it a bit _too_ random for me and it doesn't feel like bugs has much effect. I think I'd played more if it was less random, or that each game last longer by having fruits more lightweight and/or bugs more. Also it feels like spamming bugs is too easy to get points. So what I would like to try is reward more fruits: fruits lighter & more points each.
The reste is very good tho, music, art, all fits together pretty well.

Nice entry!

This is my favorite so far, I am happy with my 7th place :) Not a lot of things to add except: why is escape exit game and skip cutscene? A confirmation for quit game would be nice!

Great intro, great gameplay, amazing entry

Ridiculously fun and great optimization on WebGL!

VERY impressive! Great graphics, animation, sound, super fun, cool idea, great execution. Awesome!

Extremely well done game! It was very hectic to swing the camera around and summon a phalanx of ants to tilt the food in the opposite direction of weighty chocolate bar, held by the antenna of a singular ant. Intro cutscene is very funny and well done, compliments the game perfectly! You guys did a fantastic job and you should be very proud for what you all have made :medal:

Nice game, it's so funny and I can't stop playing lmao.

Liked the style and the comic at the start. Couldn't work out the trick for balancing it but still had fun.

Edit: I only just realised what I thought was a rock or something under the sandwich was actually the man's nose.

Wow - an incredible little game that is super cute and really charming. It's really fun to build up the 'limbs' of your sandwich and use it to both balance but also grab new things, making the balance out of wack. The push and pull of that mini-game is really fun, and creates a lot of tension and fun moments.

Great opening cutscene as well, but the guy with the sammich... he's okay right? He's just about to wake up, right?

Right?!

Well, either way, great entry!

Very high production quality and fun concept! Well done! :D

A simple and brilliant idea!

Very well executed too.

I had a lot of fun,

Congratulations!

Nice game,very interesting plot!!!!Nice job!!!!

This is an incredibly polished experience for a 72 hour project. The dev's experience really shows in its DNA. I thoroughly enjoyed playing and look forward to seeing more. 👏

This is such a unique and innovative idea! Once I got the hang of it I had a ton of fun!

I think I played several hours of this game after encountering it on a twitch stream. This game is seriously well done.

Honestly, I think the only thing more impressive than the fact that you did this all within 72 hours is that you maintained excellent performance while doing so!

Looking forward to seeing what you guys make next!

Just watching back the video I realized how little of Sammich I actually played on stream :/

I definitely undercooked, but you didn't! Beautifully cooked game :sunglasses:

~XpMonster

Really impressive, great work!

Yall did it once again! Hillarious game, and really challenging too, it was fun to try and figure out strategies for where you should place the ants. The sound of the ants about to fall off is so well done too. Don't have much else to say.


Super fun, loved everything about the game

The artsyle is very charming and stands out , the mechanic is both very creative and funny, it's a pretty unique take on the theme

the gameplay is highly addictive. I played for quite a while just to see if I could get to 5000, I couldn't but it was still worth a try lol

this is one of my fave game jam games so far!

Super game ! I really like the concept even if it is difficult to have a high score. "git good" they say :laughing:

Voice acting, graphics and ideia so fun! Loved the concept, could use some more gameplay and objectives, but very well polished and finalized game

The voice acting was so good and the opening scene was hilarious! Loved this!!

I have played this a few times on stream. Determined to keep trying for a great score. I love this game.

Enjoy highlights from the livestream. Thanks for sharing and making this great game!

Just came back here to say that I'm having way too much fun with popsicle mode atm. It's infuriating af but like in a fun way haha.

Haven't managed to find the right strategy yet and most of the time I'm just happy if I manage to get more than 2k points lol

This is the best I managed thus far ~~and I just happened to be really lucky that time~~

This one was so much fun to play, the polish on it too. You guys did an incredible job here!

me when i'm an ant and the sammich i'm on starts to tip over: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3gJMN8IR9fg

audio jokes aside, absolutely excellent game! I cannot for the life of me figure out how people are getting to 7k, but playing the downloaded version so I can spawn in more than 1500 ants without lag certainly helps lol. It was a real jumpscare when I accidentally held down the mouse button in one spot for a long time and those ants really came flying right at the camera.

For real though, absolutely a blast to play. I cannot stop trying to get a higher score. Feels like a well-polished minigame stolen right out of some kind of ps1/ps2/gamecube-era Scooby-Doo game.

Also, fantastic lil ant booty for the bug counter. He's just a lil feasting guy!

Thanks for submitting your game to the stream! If you wanted to watch it again in the future heres the vod of the stream (with a chapter for your game)
