1.3: Enter the Anteater


hello ants

I am not sure if this could be considered a big update, but it adds more than 1.2 did at least.

CONTENT:
  1. Added a main menu! Currently there are three buttons, but I intend on adding other things later.
  2. Added the antsized anteater as a final boss, it is waiting for you at screen 40! You can also try it from the main menu but it is unbeatable there since that's for practicing the fight. Your goal in this brawl is to feed it 40 ants (there is no other way I know it is sad), at which point it will make a lovely sound and you will win :D
  3. That's about it for content.

TWEAKS:

  1. The position of the deadliness numbers went from below each insect to above them, thanks for the feedback!
  2. Both red and black ant colonies now flash before spawning in their respective ant species, so they don't spawn on top of you without warning.
  3. NPC ants now have a 15 frame cooldown upon spawning before being able to kill or die, sometimes they crashed the game when dying on frame 1 of being alive (and it was also tragic for them to live for such a short period)
  4. Mosquito hitbox is smaller so you can jump around them more easily, they are also 15% slower in their "enraged" state.
  5. Compacted many audio files (this is why the game is like half the size of other updates, tell me if you think the audio is shit now because I can fix it).
COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHT:
Almê, for being the first to make a speedrun of the game (even though it didn't have an ending at the time.)

And this lovely artwork by Wito, which will be the game's cover art going forward (click the link, I don't know how to embed images here).

as always, thanks for playing.
