SNANT by Cobear25

[raw]
made by Cobear25 for Ludum Dare 56 (COMPO)

This is a game about building anthills. It was build in Unity, and the music/sounds in Garageband. I had limited time, so there's really no polish or balance, but I think it's a solid idea and I had fun making it.

it's a simple but fun idea. I like it when games let you move as fast as you want to, rather than you moving at a set speed

Okay that was surprisingly fun. I wasn't sure what was meant when you said "snake + ant" but it totally makes sense.
I was a bit confused that the top was real-time and the bottom was turn-based, but it works! It's like I need to play the turn based portion frantically to keep up with the real time component.

I played like 4 times before I realized that the map wraps around vertically and horizontally! Once I figured that out I did way better.

Really cool mix of genres, like snake and tower defense kinda. Screenwrap go me confused at first but I figured it out eventually.

Very nice game. It works well, it's fun and the music is great!

The map wrapping was a little confusing at first. It looked like the red ant was teleporting all over the place!

Creative twist on the snake game. Was a challenge to keep the momentum going while that pesky red ant was on the board. Great idea. Well done.

I had a great time playing your game! The mechanics are simple yet effective, you can take your time to think but you still feel the pressure from the top line and the music does a great job of conveying that feeling. Solid compo, well done :)

This was a lot of fun. Also, you based it off the theme very well. Great entry!

Wow, really good take on that all anthill defending shtick that i found a lot in this jam/compo!

At first i was sceptical of the "turn-based snake" since half of the stakes of the snake game is its fast decigion making, buuut with the whole ant colony defending in real time it combined nicely

Really cool graphics, audio was great and not distracting, as it should be

A very good entry! Especially for a compo!

Cute and fun! The mechanics of having to collect and return ants to the anthill were really interesting! It took me a bit to get used to the fact that the ant and I can wrap around the board. I enjoyed the music as well! Great job!
