Tasty Holes: A Wild Pixel-Art Adventure! ๐๐
Prepare for an epic feast in Tasty Holesโa fast-paced, pixel-art arcade game where you take on the role of a ravenous anteater! Your mission? Devour ants hiding inside tasty (and suspicious) holes. Extend your tongue, catch as many ants as you can, and keep your hunger bar up to stay in the game!
But beware...
Not all ants are harmless! Spear-wielding soldier ants are on a mission to stop your feast and pierce your health. Survive as long as possible, dodge those dangerous ants, and aim for the highest score before hunger or pain sends you back to the main menu.
๐ก Key Features:
- ๐ Unique tongue-based gameplay (sounds weird, plays great).
- ๐ Hunger & health management โ two bars, one destiny.
- โ๏ธ Enemies that actually fight back!
- ๐ฎ Addictive arcade scoring system.
- ๐จ Fully original pixel art, full of personality.
- โ Built in 72 hours during Ludum Dare 57.
Tasty Holes was created in just 3 days by a small but mighty team for the Ludum Dare Game Jam. This game is a hilarious and addictive twist on a retro classic! While inspired by Aardvark (1986), all visuals were lovingly crafted from scratchโno reused sprites here!

Also, you should change the text color on itch, at least on my computer, I can't read it over that background
Thanks for sharing your game!
This is my record so far. I love the game! It was a bit confusing at first that the space bar returns the mouth (since I didnโt read the instructions and jumped straight into the game), but once I figured it out, it was so much fun.
Fun concept - like that some of the ants can fight back. The trail of goo left by the tongue for a bit after it retracts is a really nice visual touch.
It didn't detract from my experience but on occasion I felt like the controls were getting away from me and the tongue would go further than intended, but that's just life sometimes. Tongues are a mystery of the world.
Great work team! Hope to see more from you in the future!
I think that some audio cues when your tongue is hurt or when your health is low would be nice, and maybe a way to replenish health? Sometimes I died and didn't even notice
