This was so good! I still have a few more submissions to play so I can't say 100% definitively but I think it is my pick for best game of the jam. Excellent!

This was fantastic and engrossing. At first I didn’t know who I was talking to, but over time I got to know the bugs. Got to know how they know each other. Got to know their dreams, their fears. Getting to see those fears play out, and the hopes shift. This was a good time. Separately from all that, I also loved the aesthetics! It was a real vibe and the ants themselves were cute! I would’ve loved to see them animate, but that’s just because I was left wanting some more. Great job y’all.

This was great! I loved the writing. The world of the ant colony and their hopes and worries about the Queens and flying all made for a compelling story right from the start. Great work!

What an excellent little thing! Good character, good art, fleshed-out world without giving too much away, and cute ants! Well done Splat and Polaris!

This game is AWESOME and I know it stands so well as a self contained story, but if you have more ideas PLEASE DO A FULL RELEASE omg best game

I love the worldbuilding and the environmental storytelling and the writing and the visual aesthetic

I am not normally a person who reads in games but this was really compelling! Loved the themes and the art. Great work.
