This is so cute! I love the art style, and the premise for the game is fun! I am... not very good at it, but it was still really enjoyable to see! The aphids are so adorable with their little neckties ;w;

I had a fascination for ants and aphids when I was a kid, so I had to play this. The aphids in their little ties are the cutest thing I have ever seen in my life and if this game let me die to protect them I would.

Scored 270!

Super lovely artwork and nice ambiance with the sound effects :)

The gameplay is simple but works quite well. Just wish the ant was a tad faster or maybe had a dash of sorts.

Congrats on the game!
