About 

I've made this myself for the Scream Jam 2025. I made it in godot, as well as making the art and music as well as most of the sound effects besides the glass breaking sound effect which I got from pixabay. I used BetterSAM: Software Automatic Mouth for the voice.  The fonts used are Ghoulish Fright AOE Font | dafont.com and BBH Sans Bogle - Google Fonts. There was another font I was hoping to use but the joys of web export messed it up lol, so I had to use a safer google font alternative.  

With this project, I wanted to explore trying diegetic UI and I'm very happy with the result.  

Special thanks to my friend MintMood - itch.io for playtesting and providing helpful feedback. Also thank you for playing! If there's any problems please do let me know!

cool game with some nice art, gameplay is pretty simple but its pretty fun. wish the hovering was a bit more generous with a bigger hitbox or maybe have some sort of slight indication to where things spawn like a little spawn animation before the ants start walking. i like it!

A small but polished and well-made game. I really want to highlight its awesome visual style, I'd love to play a full version with a story someday

Great use of Diegetic UI, I rarely see it used, much less as the entire concept of a game, a very simple, super fun challenging cute game, granted I am really bad at it and could not get the true ending but I feel the difficulty is alright, it may require a lot of precision and be a little be frustrating but since it's only 3 levels I think is alright.

Keep up the good work!

Wow! Thanks so much for playing and giving feedback! I really appreciate it! I will have a think about the shield idea

its great in the ways of style and concept!! but...its a bit finicky, every time I try to use my mouse it always ends up over shooting and I end up missing the ant, I feel like the difficulty really takes away from the game as whole and punishes the player on accident, leading to a lot of frustration. I hope this work gets patched soon because I genuinely see potential in it!

thanks for playing and letting me know! I’ll try and see if I can fix this before the jam this is for is over. I can also tweak the levels to be easier but that might take some time. I do plan to come back to it.
