Vertical Slice

Here you can find the link to our vertical slice, this is the game in very early develoment but everything is starting to come together.

This is mainly to show how the game will feel towards the end of development. This doesn’t necessarily mean we won’t make any changes, but so far, the mechanics as we see it are completed. The yeet mechanic was lowered to be at a more believable rate (let’s just say during previous playtests players usually sent items into orbit), we were worried this would make the game less fun, but it seems like it didn’t.

The level was very simple, players had to throw the smaller ant over the mushroom and flower to get the jaw upgrades to cut through the roadblocks to allow the big ant to get through. They could then walk over to a bright yellow mushroom and the level ends. I originally thought that the yellow mushroom was not explained enough but surprisingly they all understood, bright mushroom = it must do something. All in all I believe the vertical slice playtest went well.
