I assume that this is an early prototype of your game, with placeholder graphics. If not, I'd recommend focus on graphics, graphics, oh, and graphics, too

Can't tell what's going on really. From what I gather, you throw the ants/bugs in the air to destroy them, and use the block for defense until they eat it away?
After the block was "eaten" the ants still got stuck behind it, even though it was destroyed. Throwing the ants to destroy them worked pretty good. Some kind of instructions would help. I had some fun trying to keep them off the tree, but some different gameplay, or powerups would be really cool.

Reading the instructions didn't really help me understand how the game works. The whole game is also too dark and it's hard to see much of anything. I put a root down to stop the ants (or whatever they are) and after flicking ants for 30 seconds, I was done and had lost interest. I think I scored 18 points. So... what else happens in the game?
It looks like it has promise... I think it just has to develop a little quicker or be more of a challenge from the get go.
The graphics where expected to be in their final stage but I will go back and put some time in on them, possibly a bit lighter and playful with my hues.
As for the instructions maybe ill make them a bit more descriptive, as well as have a look into what may have caused the ants be be stuck after the root was destroyed.
I agree that the difficulty takes a while to harden, in my testing stage I found that a lot of new players had a hard time grasping the concept which leads me back to the instructions.

Other than that...Good work on your first game!
