Tasty Holes (LudumJam)

[W][A][S][D] to move, [SPACE] to retract your tongue! 👅🐜

Tasty Holes is a wild, fast-paced pixel art arcade game where you play as a ravenous anteater on a mission: feed on ants hiding inside tasty (and suspicious) holes. Extend your tongue, catch as many ants as possible, and keep that hunger bar up!

But beware: not all ants are harmless! Spear-wielding soldier ants will try to stop your feast and pierce your health. Survive as long as you can and aim for the highest score before hunger or pain sends you to the main menu.

Made in just 3 days by a small but mighty team for the Ludum Dare Game Jam, this game is a humorous and addictive twist on a retro classic. While inspired by Aardvark (1986), all visuals were originally crafted in our own style — no sprites were reused.

💡 Key Features:

• 🐜 Unique tongue-based gameplay (sounds weird, plays great)

• 💀 Hunger & health management — two bars, one destiny

• ⚔️ Enemies that actually fight back!

• 🎮 Addictive arcade scoring system

• 🎨 Fully original pixel art, full of personality

• ⌛ Built in 72 hours during Ludum Dare
