It's interesting. I like how i can go upside down and on the sides of the tunnel. It's cool. But i'd like to see an explanation on what the pheromone does. But it's cool.

Really interesting. I want to understand how you create this tunnel. Homewhere I must try again. Thank you for this contribution ++

Intresting, but I'm having issues focusing the game so it reads my input.

i managed to fall off the tunnel into nothing :))

I couldn't figure out the goal, if there was one. The controls were fun though, it was nice to be able to come out of the tunnel. By the way, the tunnels looked really good.

I like the feeling of crawling through the tunnel a lot. I agree with everyone else though that the goal of the game is very unclear.

Maybe there's not a lot to do but the tunnel where you don't know if you are walking on flook or ceiling is cool!.

I really like that you can leave the ant hill. That was a big surprise.

Did not find the exit, but it's cool, I guess that the pheromone is the Tom Thumb stuff. Really fun to be an ant.

That is great fun, really cool (and trippy) graphics.
But not much of a game. There's no goal.

I LOVE THE GAME! Its so pointless but awesome. The mechanics are really fun. When I made it out the tunnel, climbed the tree, then suddenly my ant got a green Mohawk, was that intentional?XD

Unfortunately I managed to pass through border and felt down from level. Otherwise it was really trippy experience :) Like it.

At first I thought the camera movement would get annoying, but it ended up feeling 'right'. It was surprisingly fun to be an ant. I would love to see a more developed version where your sent on missions by the queen ant, and maybe a more complex ant hill. But for 48 hours, this was extremely well done, good job! :)

No defined goal, but interesting graphics and fairly fun.

I like it. somewhat short.
considered the idea of ​​adding more missions. But it's cool.

when I get the leave back to my green nest, and "Congratulations" popped up on screen. I felt so accomplished!

Wow. Interesting idea. I can actually see an ant simulator being a fun game now :)

The animation could use some work, and it would be nice to have some audio. Also, some sort of obstacle or enemy between you and the food would have made it more fun. However, I like the idea a lot. Good job :)

nice idea! I enjoyed marking my way back. I kinda missed some music or ambient sounds. The travelling could be faster too.

I like this game. so peaceful and non-violent. Fit the theme very well. There's no audio (just double checked again). I hope people make more exotic animal simulators.

I like the main idea =D
if you put more "rooms" and diferent paths into the nest it would be great!

A very interesting game, but I found it a little boring to be honest.:/ Maybe making the ant go faster would help.

Idea is good but the controls were a little sloppy.

I really liked this. Give the ant a little more speed and make it so I don't get stuck trying to get on the tree and this would be awesome! Great contribution overall :)

Great concept, this game made me realize that it's just very very fun to play insects. It reminds me of a playstation 2 game where you played a mosquito. Would had love to see humans in the game. Or animal or some sort. even other insects. But that seems very complicated to implement for a Ludum Dare. Good entry

Amazing game ! *-*
It's fun to be in the skin of an ant ! the graphics are good and the controls are nice ! but It's hard to don't get lost !

Could use some audio, and some slope transitions were a little choppy (like going from ground to tree and vice-versa), but pretty good!

Interesting dive into the eyes of an ant, feels very empty and lacking sound and animations, but with a bit more in this it could be a very interesting sim.

I liked how you could move on mostly every surface available.

Enjoyed looking for food as ant, used background knowledge of Ant Desire to seek the exits. Great scale. Wish leaving pheromones was more immediate, felt like clicking / pressing control did nothing a lot of the time. Skittery-clicky sound would be lovely.

Very trippy, I have to say. Interesting concept, for sure!

I really like this, the tunnel crawling works really well (I even had to have a look at your source to work out how on earth you'd done it). And emerging out onto the surface is an awesome experience. Would be great if there were other AI ants that followed you, and you could set up routes.

A day in the life of an ant. Interesting idea. Not sure how the pheromones mechanic was supposed to work. I did manage to acquire and return a tasty leaf back to my nest though. :)

Always one of the big question "what's to be an ant?"!
You guys finally gave me a bit of an answer! :)
