A short cozy game about an ant helping its colony gather some food for the winter.
Try not to get lost and make a path for the other ants to help you get everything. Played with only two keys and made in less than 3 hours between two people for the Trijam Game Jam with the theme Micro World.

How to play:
Move with either A-D or the Arrow Keys.
Collect food and bring it to the colony, leaving a pheromone trail so that other ants can help gather food.
Don't cross your pheromone trails so the ants don't get lost.
Press R on the Lost Screen if you want to restart.

Such a simple concept, but you made it captivating. A well-thought game, thank you !
This is game is genius! Maybe some will think that's an overstatement, but I never thought I'd see a game about the pheromone trail of ants! That is so cool to me.
Definitely a few things you could do after the jam to really make it shine, like a scoring system and a bigger map; not demands, just ideas. Great job!
Thanks! It's great to see someone appreciate that side of the game. I made it with a friend and it was fun explaining it to him, it was the core idea from which the game ended up forming. After the rating period we'll probably polish it a little bit, but it was meant as a cozy little experience to get our feet back into making stuff. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks again for making it!
That's funny, I'm going to be doing the same thing this week with a couple friends of mine in Trijam 256. It's been a while since I've done gamedev, so I'm quite excited to get back into it :)
