My optimal strategy was to just collect bugs and not return the tongue cause I will lose precious time.
Overall cool short game,really love the "Amanita Design"-like art design.
(If you want your game played, just give ratings to others :D )
Also the animation of the thounge is nice!
The game itself is quite easy once u figure out to just spam the left mouse click and only right click when you have a lot of stuff sticking to you.
Some more levels would be nice, only saw 2.
Cool playfull audio which gives a nice mood!
I couldn't reach the places behind the triangle obstacles, I did it only once and accidentally. It would be nice to have a bit more control over the tongue and still have randomness to keep it fun.
You did a great job overall!
@aret24 What a great record ! This is one of the best strategy indeed haha ! Thank you very much for the reference,we also love Amanita Design :'D !(and also the tip given !)
@slingshot Thank you so much !!
@y4nnick Thank you ! Sorry to hear that you only could test 2 of them randomly 'cuz there are few more actually hehe !
@iovorobiev Thank you <3 ! Glad to see you enjoyed lil extras like this one ! When I struggled going to some places I tried to stick not to far and aimed when the tongue was more stable haha !
@cievers <3 happy to know that !
@gimmers We're delighted to know that you played 'til "the end" <3 ! And also really amused that we also tagged the game "experimental" so it might fit your impression too haha !
I would've loved to be able to reach a lot deeper with the anteater tongue, with maybe a mechanic where you have to balance going deep against retracting the tongue (to prevent insects from escaping ? or to relieve the weight of the insects ?)
The music was jolting on the webgl version, I don't know why :/
@hidjy Hi! Thank you very much ! Your ideas to improve it are really interesting, we'll keep it in mind ! (we had few options like those but as the time ran out we wanted to focus on releasing something at least playable, but how cool would it be to have all those new things haha !)
@felixmreeve Hi !! We're so delighted to know you enjoyed it, thank you so so much <3 ! True that with some additionnal mechanics it can get better !
@astronautmikedexter Hellow ! Thank you for your idea and feedback we'll also keep it for future modifications, your suggestion echoed one of our thoughts about the timing mechanics so thank you again !
@curtis-pelissier Hey ! Haha we're amazed that the game gives such experiences ! Thank you for testing it and enjoying parts of it ! Really sorry for the sound, thanks for reporting it to us, we still don't know what's causing those sound issues at the moment :/
@webox Hi hi ! We're are so happy to know that you enjoyed it ! It's true that it could help understand we also noticed it but unfortunately that was all we could do during the JAM haha, thanks for helping us with your feedback !
@st00nsa Thank you so much for giving a try at our lil' game, we're super happy to hear about your experience and impressions about it ! Thank you also for the note about the sound we'll also keep it !
Would love to see the a leaderboard with all the scores! :top:
It's original drawing. It could be interesting to limit the number of captured insects.
Sometimes when I click to much the tongue is crossing the walls.
Otherwise great start for you first jam,
thank you for your game :)
To me it looks like the gameplay and controls should fit the mobile platforms well, may you should try exporting your game to Android.
I liked the variations in levels, it definitely made replaying more interesting. Overall, it's a fine jam job.

Nice atmosphere and unique art style. What a great entry for your first jam :).
