Today is the day The Antbassador will come, to speak words of peace with Her Majesty Queen Antoinette IV. The Kingdom of Antopia has finally grown accustomed to a life without war, and its people are willing to forge an alliance with their one-time foe. If The Antbassador is good and kind, he might well see their worlds connected.

I don't know how to describe this, other than I love it. Exactly the humor and crazy game play I've loved from you guys before. Great work :D
Well done! This is a really great game. Its charming, hilarious, its a good story that pulls you in the minute you open it up. I also really enjoyed the challenge of the game, the mechanics were quite impressive.
Fantastic game! You should be happy you made it.
Just too short and a bit rough on the controls.
I really enjoyed this as short as it was. This so charming and the use of the theme was truly great. The game plays quite well although the controls area little bit fiddly but that also kind of makes it fun.
Some of the most fun I've had on a Ludum Dare game, you should be proud of what you have achieved :)
Ahahaha, great entry, The concept is fantastic, it's short concise, and quite funny, I'll have to show it to my friends
First time I'm running game: Loading, settings, pause - they put a lot of work into that. Next I'm staring, and look and feel of the hand is amazing! That game is so polished!
This was just fantastic! Hands down the best game of this jam. Way to go!
Great game, I wanted to play this ever since I saw the development printscreen you guys posted. Good job!
Forsooth this game is hilarious. Blessings be upon thee!
Wow. Very solid, very clean.
One problem I had was with my controller (non xbone) - it detects it, and axes are working, but any button crashes the game.
Excellent work. It's always refreshing when a game makes you laugh.
i am blown away by this, well done! you and your team really created something unique, witty, and fun. great job!
i did have an issue where some of the textures were just white (the whole hand was white for me, no colors or textures at all)
Same problem as Fish : the hand becomes invisible so it's hard to finish the game. But this game is amazing, so fun x')
very unique style of gameplay, frustrating, but in a good way
Love the visuals, I really wanted to see more and explore more
Top marks from me!
You have some kind of soft spot for awkward movement simulators, don't you?
Anyway great job! The whole thing feels awesome as a whole. And the humor... I'm still laughing. :D
I really love the concept. There are a few bugs here and there but playing a finger and try not to smash ants is awesome !!! Congrats
*_* !!
Incredible amount of talented work!
Super fun awesome great game
Lovely game. The arm's gravity was a little hard to control, but I made it to the end. Nice graphics and dialogue.
Wow wow wow.. AMAZING work, we can clearly see your professionalism.
Your concept his awesome, the challenges too.
This got humor, innovation, graphics/audios, everything ! 5/5 overall !
I knew from the moment I saw the screenshots that this was an awesome game, and I wasn't let down.
Love the premise. :D But damn if it wasn't really hard to control. Graphics were superb and the humor was top notch. Great entry :)
Very cool idea, the hand is a bit hard to control but still very fun to mess around.
A bit short though :)
I had to replay a dozein time just because I love the noise crushed ants make. :3
A little bit too frustrating, but extremely hilarious the entire ride. I was blown away by the graphics and menus.
Fun and unusual gameplay, so I want more levels! I really enjoyed the game. Also very cute ants. Nice work!
You made me kill an ant!
I loved this game, great potential with a bit work on the controls :)
One of the most creative games I've played so far this LD. Loved the concept and the visuals work so well. Did find it at times a bit difficult to control the hand but definitely a game I would play again if the controls were tightened some more. Great entry.
It was fun...until my screen kept witching between the game and my desktop. I guess my computer is too shitty to handle those ants ?
It was really hard to knock the hats off! :D
Great game, I really enjoyed it!
OMG, I don't know how you came up with an idea like this but that's genius ! The octodad-like physic was a clever way to put some Gameplay in the game. Congratulations !
cant handle the ant puns hahahaha THIS IS SO LOVELY. also Hi luthyr!!
I can't start the game because it says I'm missing something that's in the folder. Help?

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want to place in the final results, you NEED votes. The easiest way to get votes is by rating other games. Judging lasts for 3 weeks following the end of Ludum Dare. For best effect, rate 20 games as soon as possible. Rating more games is encouraged.
MORE TIPS AND DETAILS AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE
TEAMS: Teams entering the Jam should pick a single representative to submit your game, or create a team specific account you can share. We currently do not support Team Voting, but sharing an account and together playing and rating games is acceptable.
NOT LOGGED IN?: If you get a message about not being logged in, even though you are, it’s because your web browser cached the non-logged in page. You can fix this by either refreshing your cache or clearing your cache. CTRL+F5 in many browsers. Chrome is a bit more work. Press F12 to enable Developer Mode, then you can right click on the refresh button and select “Empty Cache and Hard Reload”. This option is unavailable if you are not in Developer Mode.
PORTS: Ports to other platforms can be done after the deadline. That said, the sooner you finish your port, the sooner people can play your game, improving your chances of placing in the final results. For best results, provide a Web version of your game, or a Windows version with no dependencies. Also be sure to rate about 20 games to improve your visibility.
MY GAME DOESN’T SHOW UP: If you can’t find your game, it’s usually because the URL to your downloads are missing ‘http://‘. Fix your URLs (http://mysite.com/mygame.zip) and you will show up.
MY GAME CRASHES, IS UNBEATABLE, OR I MADE A TYPO: We allow you to fix crash or win condition bugs after the deadline (in a sense, like “porting” to support more players). We also allow “typo” bugs. I.e. A true that should have been a false, a word that should have been a different word, very tiny changes that you would have caught if you had more sleep. We leave this open to interpretation, but generally speaking your game should be identical to the game you submitted. No new features, just things you messed up last minute. Typos.
The part where the 2 ants are fighting and you have to knock their hats of, if you fail and kill an ant the hand becomes invisible. But i really love the concept of the game!
