Nice little game! One thing I miss a lot is some indication of taking damage (both for me and for my enemies), since without that it is hard to tell whether I missed or not and also to know how I am doing I have to keep an eye on the health.

Fun game but very easy! The harvesting is unnecessary as you can just go kill the carrot guy with no wheat. I also haven't found how to switch between weapons I bought. Still was fun, nice combat mechanic and cool animations

Cool game, I like how chaotic the GargANTua fight was, and harvesting with the scythe was neat. Maybe add descriptions to the items in the shop, I wasn't sure exactly how the weapons differ.

I gotta respect making the entire game around a pun, using the farming for currency is pretty satisfying as well

Cool looking game with neat art and smooth gameplay. I found myself wishing the weapons were a little more effective - it was kind of hard to use them, and I never figured out if the shears were actually any good or worth 300. The ant noise was creepy! Nicely done, and a fun game and a good effort.

Nice game, easy controls, good graphics and use of music. I really like that when you used the scythe and walked down the screen it looked like you were wagging a scythe wielding tail

Liked the "I'm an ant" effect :smile:

Simple and easy, but don't care much for the invisible wall - although I shouldn't say anything as we dont have a wall in our game (for the camera).

Nice top down game. I think the biggest issue is knowing whether you hit anything or not. Not having nay visual or audio feedback for hitting an enemy did make things pretty frustrating.

I'm an ant. I'm an ant. I'm an ant

Evil Carrot (with gun) will rue the day he encountered me. I actually ran into him with the base weapon and killed him nonetheless lol but then I did go collect everything. ggs
