I think it would be useful to list how many ants I'm supposed to save in each level, e.g. my solution in level 8 left me with only 1 ant reaching the exit and I'm not sure if there is a better way I'm supposed to solve this. The wait command is kind of weird, because the ant's walking direction is the same when you remove the command and thus if you use it to block other ants from falling off the cliff, you can't really save it. I think the direction should be reversed on removing this command.\n\nAlso, there is a mute button and a shortcut, but there is no audio, right?

I like the tileset you used, even if you can scroll past the enclosing walls to expose the game world.

It made me recall all the hours spent playing Lemmings back in the day, you've managed to recreate the feel of the game pretty well here. The sprites for the level parts and the ants are alright, pretty good choice of assets here. The music is rather calm, but it does have a bit of that classic Lemmings cheekiness to it. Mechanically there are some minor bugs, but that's mostly stuff that can be avoided by the player, so it isn't such a big issue.

This will create a potential path to another platform.\n \nYou can use this to prevent your ants from falling off a cliff.\n\n**Digging [Key 2]**\n\nThe ant will continue to move forward until it comes to an obstacle. \n\nOnce it reaches the obstacle, it will start digging a tunnel. \n\nThe ants can use this tunnel to get past the obstacle.\n\n**Stopping [Key 3]**\n\nThe ant will immediately stop moving and block other ants from passing. \n\nThis will prevent other ants from advancing and give you time to prepare a safe route to the target area.\n\n## Keyboard Shortcuts ##\n\n* [WASD] or [Arrow Keys] => Move Camera around\n* [Left Mouse] => Select hovered Ant\n* [Right Mouse] or [ESC] => Deselect selected Ant\n* [1] => Build Bridge Task for selected Ant\n* [2] => Dig Tunnel Task for selected Ant\n* [3] => Stop other Ants Task\n* [F] => Focus Camera on the selected Ant once\n* [T] => Track the selected Ant with the Camera (Toggle)\n* [M] => Mute Button, toggle Audio on\/off\n\n## Personal Notes ##\n\nUnfortunately, the game is in a rather unfinished state. To be honest, we just ran out of time.\nWe had a lot of minor issues throughout the development process that simply added up over time.\nAnd Git's version control in particular has really stressed us out.\nBut that is what game jams are all about, right? Expect some bugs and weird ant behaviour :D\n\n\n![Screenshot 2024-10-08 055055.png](\/\/\/raw\/fd5\/e1\/z\/67b92.png)\n\n![Screenshot 2024-10-08 055246.png](\/\/\/raw\/fd5\/e1\/z\/67b93.png)\n\n![Screenshot 2024-10-08 055348.png](\/\/\/raw\/fd5\/e1\/z\/67b94.png)\n\n\n#### CREDITS\n\n**- Graphics**\n\nAnts [https:\/\/shandsparil.itch.io\/ants-pixelart]\n\n2D Tile Set - Cave [https:\/\/assetstore.unity.com\/packages\/2d\/environments\/2d-platfrom-tile-set-cave-61672]\n\nTool Icons [https:\/\/icons8.com\/icons\/]\n\n**- Fonts**\n\njackinput [https:\/\/www.dafont.com\/de\/jackinput.font]","title":"It Ant possible","wayback_recovered":true,"wayback_source":{"capture":{"original":"https:\/\/api-jam.ludumdare.com\/vx\/node2\/get\/395501+395502+395503+395504+395505+395506+395507+395508+395509+395510+395511+395512+395513+395514+395515+395516+395517+395518+395519+395520+395521+395522+395523+395524+395525+395526+395527+395528+395529+395530+395531+395532+395533+395534+395535+395536+395537+395538+395539+395540+395541+395542+395543+395544+395545+395546+395547+395548+395549+395550+395551+395552+395553+395554+395555+395556+395557+395558+395559+395560+395561+395562+395563+395564+395565+395566+395567+395568+395569+395570+395571+395572+395573+395574+395575+395576+395577+395578+395579+395580+395581+395582+395583+395584+395585+395586+395587+395588+395589+395590+395591+395592+395593+395594+395595+395596+395597+395598+395599+395600+395601+395602+395603+395604+395605+395606+395607+395608+395609+395610+395611+395612+395613+395614+395615+395616+395617+395618+395619+395620+395621+395622+395623+395624+395625+395626+395627+395628+395629+395630+395631+395632+395633+395634+395635+395636+395637+395638+395639+395640+395641+395642+395643+395644+395645+395646+395647+395648+395649+395650+395651+395652+395653+395654+395655+395656+395657+395658+395659+395660+395661+395662+395663+395664+395665+395666+395667+395668+395669+395670+395671+395672+395673+395674+395675+395676+395677+395678+395679+395680+395681+395682+395683+395684+395685+395686+395687+395688+395689+395690+395691+395692+395693+395694+395695+395696+395697+395698+395699+395700+395701+395702+395703+395704+395705+395706+395707+395708+395709+395710+395711+395712+395713+395714+395715+395716+395717+395718+395719+395720+395721+395722+395723+395724+395725+395726+395727+395728+395729+395730+395731+395732+395733+395734+395735+395736+395737+395738+395739+395740+395741+395742+395743+395744+395745+395746+395747+395748+395749+395750+395751+395752+395753+395754+395755+395756+395757+395758+395759+395760+395761+395762+395763+395764+395765+395766+395767+395768+395769+395770+395771+395772+395773+395774+395775+395776+395777+395778+395779+395780+395781+395782+395783+395784+395785+395786+395787+395788+395789+395790+395791+395792+395793+395794+395795+395796+395797+395798+395799+395800+395801+395802+395803+395804+395805+395806+395807+395808+395809+395810+395811+395812+395813+395814+395815+395816+395817+395818+395819+395820+395821+395822+395823+395824+395825+395826+395827+395828+395829+395830+395831+395832+395833+395834+395835+395836+395837+395838+395839+395840+395841+395842+395843+395844+395845+395846+395847+395848+395849+395850+395851+395852+395853+395854+395855+395856+395857+395858+395859+395860+395861+395862+395863+395864+395865+395866+395867+395868+395869+395870+395871+395872+395873+395874+395875+395876+395877+395878+395879+395880+395881+395882+395883+395884+395885+395886+395887+395888+395889+395890+395891+395892+395893+395894+395895+395896+395897+395898+395899+395900+395901+395902+395903+395904+395905+395906+395907+395908+395909+395910+395911+395912+395913+395914+395915+395916+395917+395918+395919+395920+395921+395922+395923+395924+395925+395926+395927+395928+395929+395930+395931+395932+395933+395934+395935+395936+395937+395938+395939+395940+395941+395942+395943+395944+395945+395946+395947+395948+395949+395950+395951+395952+395953+395954+395955+395956+395957+395958+395959+395960+395961+395962+395963+395964+395965+395966+395967+395968+395969+395970+395971+395972+395973+395974+395975+395976+395977+395978+395979+395980+395981+395982+395983+395984+395985+395986+395987+395988+395989+395990+395991+395992+395993+395994+395995+395996+395997+395998+395999+396000?authors&parents&superparent"},"object":"objects\/sha256\/02\/02a632f845e68bf18839ceee02c3bae37578133ed50576933c51a8afdc6a2ced","record":"shard-0\/json-live-urgent-v3\/records\/8917f607836055906fdc4bcf2ead13d1b7ac4390512462701514112be374e3a9.json","sha256":"02a632f845e68bf18839ceee02c3bae37578133ed50576933c51a8afdc6a2ced","source":"https","stored_at":1784022511}}
