Cool game, love the idea, presentation and upgrades. Also got famous bug with negative infinite ants.

very fun to play ! I like the concept.
I think I broke the game xD.
 It happens with the auto deploy after clicking very fast to have 0 ants left, then going in the upgrade menu. When exiting the menu it can deploy an ant and the value is set negatively.
I think there is a delay between the condition check "if(ant != 0)" of the auto deploy and the counter
with the spawn of the ant.
I'm not sure at 100% it is exactly what happened but I think it's that logic which trigger the funny thing. Anyways, that was fun !

A classic dynamic, great reversal. Idle isn't my cup of tea, but I like the work you've done! Good art work.

got a little bug where i could spawn ant infinitely, like i was at -1000 ants, else the game is really good !

I like the idle genre very much. although this needs balancing, food per ant is waaaaay stronger than anything else, I feel like

Enjoyable game i love the shop system in the game but there is a small bug in the game that when you but ants from the shop the count of counts decreases to zero and it kept on spawning the ants.

The way the ants walk in this game is so cute! 🐜🐜🐜
It was fun and easy to play :) I really liked growing my colony of little ants

Hey! Thanks for commenting on my game. I really like your game's progression system. It feels like cookie clicker. I ran into a bug though where the auto deploy allows the number of ants to decrease below zero. When the number of ants is negative, you can just keep spawning as many ants as you want.

Thanks for playing my game! Also, thanks for telling me which system was bugged (haha). The system was broken right at the last minute and my fix didn't turn out well XD.

the last minute bugs, always there. I did enjoy clicking endlessly and beating the game fast, though. it's a feature not a bug. haha

Very fun idle game! Love the little animation for when the shop is opened and closed, and the way my fiendish scavengers scurry to and fro from their unfortunate quarry.

As the other guy mentioned, negative ants are possible. Though I must say that the way this bug allowed me to generate massive legions of ants increased my enjoyment of the game.

I dunno for sure, but if I had to take a guess as to what causes this bug, perhaps there’s a “== 0” check that would be better off as a “<= 0”?

Super fun! I love upgrade systems. Yours works well. Sets itself for infinite play. 

Found an exploit right away, could input negative ants.  

Had a great time clickin

This is very cute! It's fun watching the ants leave and return. Could be developed into a solid idle game :)
