As a kid I had a PS1 and a bunch of these black euro demo discs and there were Lemmings on one of them, this game reminds me of that a lot. It's awesome! I managed to get 3 stars on almost all levels. I didn't get all stars only on (ironically enough) the first level, 5th and 8th. I would love to play more levels of this game. It's one of these games that I'd go back to even after the jam
Thanks for playing and kudos for getting so many achievements! It seemed that they were mostly a little too obscure. Happy to hear you enjoyed it. And yes, I was intending to do something that captured the feeling of playing Lemmings but with a unique spin. I'm definitely considering to return to this game and make some updates, especially for more levels - I had to scrap my plans for five levels per each of the four zones in the world map due to time constraints but it feels like that would be a good amount of puzzles for the game.
The game is very cohesive. I enjoy playing it! Even though it took a couple of tries for some levels, I like the puzzle element.
I think having a pause button can be useful.
Thanks for playing and I'm happy to hear you enjoy it! A pause button is certainly on my list of improvements for a potential update in the future.
Had a lot of fun with this one :D
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you had fun!
TWO LEMMINGS THEMED IDEAS? I am glad to see an appreciator of fine media. Great idea to replace the lemmings with ants instead, and I love the animations. :D
An inspired game was one of our original ideas but we decided to pivot - I am so glad to see someone else take that inspiration up!
Thanks for playing and I'm happy to hear you liked it! When I first saw the title of your game, I thought it might be taking a similar direction but yours ended up with a very different twist. Whatever the variety, can't have too many Lemmings games.
Liked animations a lot xd. I didn't really liked the timing elements of it, was a bit frustrating when I figured out what to do but i needed to time the bomb ant.
Overall the puzzles were good, and i liked how emergent every ant behaviour could be.
Also speed up button or automatic speeding up after everything needed is destroyed would be appreciated.
Thanks for playing and your feedback! Needing to time the skill usage was an intentional design decision but it might need better visual cues so it could be executed more consistently. I'd certainly have the speed control on top of my list for a potential update.
Nice lemmings-like game !! I don’t know if the secret challenge really added something for me tho :O
N u did a really nice job with all the ants animation !! Love the bouncer and the spider man :)))
Thanks for playing and I'm glad that you enjoyed it! I had in mind that the challenge should be a reason for revisiting levels and exploring the skills a bit more but I'm usually taking a very completionist approach to games that I'm playing, it might not be for everyone.
Interesting puzzle game, I liked the different ant types a lot, and they all looked really funny
I do think the limitation could have been a little more prominent, because now its fully optional, other then that very good game!
Thank you for playing and your feedback! You have a point but after initially changing the way skills work per level and the fact I didn't have too much time for level design in the end, I decided to make it a challenge mode instead of a core game mechanic.
Lovely game! I feel it was a bit slow for me, but I loved the graphics, the music and the overall idea. The use of the limitation was really creative!
Thanks for playing and your feedback! I'd consider speed settings for a possible update in the future since I've heard preferences for both slower as well as faster gameplay.
Lemmings lovers heaven 😎. My favourite entry so far, even if use of the limitation was rather limited.
Thanks for playing and I'm very happy to hear that you liked it so much!
Very interesting concept! Was definitely confused initially but things started to click rather nicely after the first or second attempts. Good job!
Thanks for playing! I tried to give it a bit of a learning curve but would consider some more in-game tutorial hints in a potential future update.
The game might have been a tad easy for a some of the levels, but it was a nice relaxing experience 😊
Once the path was set up it was nice to just watch your stream of ants go
I did some of the secret challenges by accident, but maybe a hint or something to let me know what I should be trying to do for the challenge would point me in the right direction
Nice job with this game, it was very good ^.^
Thanks for your feedback and playing the game! I'd definitely consider some difficulty tweaks for an update as well as hints for the challenges. It was intentional to have players discover the secrets on accident by toying around but in hindsight, many of them were just a bit too obscure without any guidance whatsoever.
This is really good. I do wish there was a way to select a skill with the keyboard though. Needing to move the mouse back and fourth so much feels a bit unnecessary.
Thanks for playing and your feedback! You can cycle through the skills with either mouse wheel or Q/E, but I'm assuming you mean a hotkey per skill? I'd consider that for a potential future update.
I had fun with this one! The puzzles and secrets are pretty interesting, it has potential of being addictive!
Thanks for playing and I'm happy you enjoyed it!
I LOVE this game!!! Huge nostalgia to Lemmings, I used to play it so much as a kid 🥺 I absolutely adore your take at this mechanic!!! The bouncer is so funny hahah really great work!!
Thanks for playing and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I had a lot of nostalgia fueled fun while making it.
A fun puzzle game! I liked how it gradually introduces the mechanics - fall damage on level 3 caught me by surprise (in a good way).
Thanks for playing and I'm happy to hear you had fun with it.
I liked it quite a bit, but the levels felt a little slow. I would've loved if there was a pause time option but the ants were faster to compensate. Just a minor nitpick tho, overall a really good game.
Thanks for playing and the feedback! I had both pause and speed control on my feature list, unfortunately had to deprioritize them in the end. Agree though, they'd make a good addition and I might consider them for an update.
Loved the vibe, I think the music and art style blend together very nicely. Like others though, I was struggling to get those secrets. But overall nice work!
Thanks for playing and the feedback! I'd consider some flavor text with hints on the secret per level for a possible update in the future.
Super clever, and a lot of fun. I only found one of the secrets, but completed all ten levels.
Just the other day I was wondering why Lemmings doesn't have as much of a legacy as it should. I want more of these games!
Thanks for playing and couldn't agree more, why are there so few Lemmings clones?
Lemmings is basically a perfect little game. You captured a lot of the spirit here. I love your bouncer ant art.
Good Puzzles man, but didn't have the chance to search for the secret
Thanks for playing and glad you liked the puzzles!
Fun puzzles, couldn't figure out the secrets though
Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed it. The secrets are somewhat obscure but there's a walkthrough on the game's page.
