What a nice cute little game. I could see this making the video. I really liked the level where you had to count to 8, I wish there was more of that!

Such a fun game to play after 4 days of non stop dev, congrats !! Made me very curious on how you achieved your rythm system and the entire line follow system.

Great work once again !

I might have to do a write-up of some kind on that! This was my first time designing a rhythm game, and I learned that there’s a LOT that goes into syncing everything up, ESPECIALLY with a web build in the mix. If I wind up doing that, I’ll let you know - and thanks so much for playing!

What an absolutely incredible game. The polish is immaculate and idea is strong. Yet another reminder that I'm actually terrible at rhythm games, thank you for adding the visual for those of us who can't hear a beat to save our lives.

I usually get far too frustrated to enjoy rhythm games. This was not that. I had so much fun marching along with the ants to the beat. Sound, art, story. All incredible. And what a beautiful ending. Great job!
