It's about stopping theft, in this case, the ants that are stealing your picnic food!

Great gameplay loop and i like the colors, controls could use some work :P
Great game, the only complain i have is the tongue, sometimes isnt' responsive to controls, but it's a gorgeous game, with a solid gameloop
Thank you!!
It was a really fun game, I appreciate the guide at the beginning, made it much easier to grasp what's going on. I generally liked the controls, but I really couldn't figure out the aim after many tries, it sometimes went into unexpected directions.
The ant behavior was unexpected, because they followed very distant routes, so for example if I wanted to catch one on the right side behind the tree, there was no way I would get the one that went around the pond. I did see that the duck periodically stuns them, but even that wasn't enough for me. Maybe I'll try to recruit everyone as soon as possible next run. So back to the ants, I noticed on the first run that I had only one food left and the best strategy was just to keep it for myself and wait for the ants to return and end the wave. Otherwise, when I had multiple, it felt a bit unrewarding to return the stolen food from afar, because 3-4 ants already circled the basket like vultures and as soon as I put the food in there, they'll jump on it.
I loved the audio, the music and effects really fit the game well and contributed to the goofy experience.
Overall, it felt like a well polished and fun little game, maybe with little need to fine-tune the difficulty, or maybe I'm just bad at it :) For a first time jammer and solo, you can be really proud of this one, because it didn't feel like a jam game, but more like an old-school flash browser game.
Thank you so much, it means a lot! Yes, holding a single food it's kinda of a strategy that makes it way easier to win. You end with only 1 food left but still, a win is a win).
The style is awesome ! The touch of humour is refreshing
Aiming correctly ants feels difficult at first, put manageable after some tries
Thank you for this game !
