Clever idea and well put together game.  It fit the theme perfectly too.  Only gripe is that is was hard to get your follower ants to stay with you.  But overall great job!

Submitted

Great design, very original idea. I had fun playing it, so congrats on the game. I like how the ants can be accidentally left behind. I lost a few of them this way and it's really funny.

Great concept though simple was very enjoyable with the audio and mechanics......

KUDOS!!

It is very simple but interesting ... I love it ... but , I wanted some more gameplay , overall it was fantastic.

Nice interpretation of the theme and besides the fact that controling the other ants was quite hard the game made fun.

Submitted

Very nice game!

The ants are very cute, and we enjoyed the picnic theme! It was a bit hard to lead the other ants , but we still managed to get food home. 

very good game!

Interesting concept. nice job. Please try rate my game also.

Very nice looking and fun game. I kinda wish that the ant hole was a safe space from the foot, but that can be just me.

Wow this game is extremely similar to mine! I like the gameplay but I think the graphics could be improved. The sound fx are great also the music is very good. It is a nice game you did a great job and if you have time you can check out my game because is basically like yours but without this exciting gameplay lol. Good job!

This was very cute, and I like the picnic theme! I figured out that it's easier to push the food from behind rather than lead the ants since otherwise they'll stop following pretty much immediately. The STOMP!! was very funny, the pixel art is great, and this was a fun take on the theme. Good job!

Submitted

this is really good!

Good take on the theme! Score of 7 for me.

When my team was brainstorming, I was rambling about another idea, and my teammates said, "So, Pikmin?" I guess some if that idea still came through lol
