Show HN: I created a small 2D game about an ant

Hello everyone! I created a short game in just a few days, just for fun, where you play as an ant and feed it apples

This game also features random landscape generation, with clouds and trees arranged in a chaotic pattern across all coordinates. This is what took me the longest time :)

I would appreciate your feedback ^ ^

I see potential for speedrunning since the apples are always in the same position.

It must be a slow news day.

It's a Show HN that doesn't appear to be vibe-coded AI slop. I'll take it any day of the week.

Reminds me of Ant for the HP48 calculator, though I have a feeling that was way before your time ;-)
