There is a definite element of Lemmings here! You are an ant and you need to escape each level, with your fellow ants in tow. Of course it's not quite that simple - some ants are trapped in cages, which requires placing captured ants onto coloured pressure pads to open the cage. Sometimes the exit is blocked by a wall, so you can detonate an ant to blow the wall away! But you must finish the level with enough ants.

A great many people think they are thinking when they are really rearranging their prejudices.

Good job.

I like the 'train' of ants you end up dragging around and there is some puzzle element but I am not a big fan of huge levels where you have to do a lot of roaming around to work out what to to (that's just my thoughts - others may love it).

Nice menus by the way.

Good work, it gets my fourth place.
Just a little too dark in my opinion, but it's nicely enough put together.

Just wondering... did KenShiro and Kyoshiro post from the same IP address? Surely a mod could check this. Not that i'm suggesting anything apart from KenShiro and Kyoshiro where register practically on the same day, sound the same, and voted 1st place. Thanks.

Oliver, I believe Rich stated in the rules that no votes would be counted from any accounts registered after July 1st of this year, anyways... Unless that rule fell through sometime.

Sorry guys, both Kyoshiro and KenShiro are friends of mine. I just showed them the game, and they liked it and came to vote it.

An even bigger sorry to Jess for getting him into the trouble of getting the IP,etc.

lol, Kendor, the IP is displayed in plain view on the forum for the MOD's No trouble at all

And, the reason their votes aren't counted is because of the join-date.
Also, when I said "no matter what they say", I was just being fun and pretending they should offer a bribe

Just thought I'd clear that up, 'cos when I write messages late at night some-times, they're not very legible

From what I could see in the game it was well done. It would have been nice to pass through the tutorial nature of the first level with a key instead of sitting through it a couple times. On the second level, it is literally pitch black except for an explosion point, and a red switch area. Other than that I can't see a thing!

Good animation and movement of the ants, and the "ant train" is cool. Too bad I can't see past level 1.

I'm not a real programmer but I play one with DBPro!

@JessTicular

No problem.
Actually should have taught about the bribe myself

You can! Just copy the contents found in the Level Hacks folder into the Savegame folder. This will allow to view all the levels by loading them from the load game in the main menu.

Warning: This method will erase all the previously saved games!

Certainly a novel idea, nicely presented but I think the 4th level could give me a migraine. I would've liked a camera position option (I couldn't find one) so you could have a higher camera view. I can see this game having some interesting puzzles involved, but the version that was entered was a little weak. Some further development and I think this could be a nice little game.

Sorry but no vote from me.

I don't suffer from insanity - I enjoy every minute of it!

I liked this game, platform/puzzle games often appeal to me . Capturing the ants and having them follow you is a nice touch, and could be used for more than just leaving them on switches. It's fun to play though, if a little short, and some of the bright level colours aren't easy on the eyes

Once I was but the learner, now, I am the Master.
See my site for amazing games and demos!

Thanks

I agree about the game being short, but I had just a little more than a month to complete it(damn exams )!

Pro's:
Nice tutorial level.
Ants is a fun idea.
Nice Music.
Full Menu.

Con's:
A bit boreing - too much walking involved.
Controls are odd.

Comment:
Yeah, the game was a bit boreing, and the puzzle element didn't really poke its head out at me that much. Good idea, but not the best implimentation.
