I got to 21k, then had this moment of panic where I lost focus and couldn't find my dot. That in essence is what makes this game interestingโ€”perhaps it might be worth trying a design where you can't just go to a corner to figure out which one you are. (What if you made the sides loop together like Pac-Man?)

Oh my god. I'm not sure if you are a genius, or the devil himself, but either way, that's a great idea. You may see that in a future update, and I'll notify you if I put that in.

68,478 my highest score >.> Apparently I can't even beat my highest score... Here's a tip while playing this game. Hug a wall then find your ant then you're good.

Arrow keys, as mentioned, are a no-go, but it's an interesting sort of puzzle game. Sort of like a "spot the difference" but with replayability. Maybe a timer to give some idea of when we'll run out/how our score is going? An awards screen for different sorts of achievements? It's a cute little game

Thanks for the review! I'm trying to find out how to prevent scrolling - so far, nothing. :( I'm glad you like the game, and there is a timer, well, a bar actually in the bottom of the screen. It may be hard to see but I will try to make it more visible in the future. Also, your idea of an "end" screen isn't a bad idea. Thanks for playing!

Cool concept, very original really. However it is still very basic. Also when the maps are bigger and there are hundreds of ants the game starts to lag for me.
