Although some ants were hurt in it, i liked a lot the story! The tale of the underdog ant infestation fighting against it's natural enemy, the space flamethrower janitor, touched me deeply, specially with such sweet ending where the ants end up winning, taking control of the ship and landing it safely on earth... right? right?

That aside, game was great, the ambience and music reminded me a bit of FTL, and i loved the sprinkles of humour in the ship console text. The controls worked well, and even dying wasn't too much of a hassle given the quick respawn in the same level.
I did find it a bit hard to see the ant acid projectiles and dodge them tho with all the fire going on, and the sounds from the ants dying felt a bit loud (specially with how many there were). But aside from those nitpicks it was great to play it!
Keep up the great work! <3
The sound of the ants dying is loud because the flamethrower sound is also very loud :/ It's too late to fix now. Oh well.
Fun little game. I'm really glad when I died I could respawn in the same room without any fuss, I think I would've had a much different time otherwise.
The fact you didn't have to restart the whole day upon dying is nice, appreciated touch.
My only "complain" would be the sound effects, especially the ants dying as it felt more like picking up a coin or selecting a menu options that getting a kill ^^ Otherwise, congrats!
Fun and easy to learn mecanics. I like the twist at the end.
My two small complaints are that sometimes it really feels like you burned an ant, yet somehow it still lives, and that the walls stoping you when goinf diagonaly are sometimes a bit frustrating, they feel sticky.
Besides these minor things, the game is great. Good job!
Loved this one. Fun quick action adventure in space that was genuinely quite challenging at times. Great job :)
