Great little colony sim. Very fun scrambling to try to use the correct insect type to stop the termites.

This is instantly fun which is a really admirable quality for a game to have in a jam. My biggest complaint is that the round ends too quickly, I wish I could keep going maybe twice as long in a round. Nice work!

I BELIEVE IN GUBUSA really cool game, just simple enough to be immediately understandable but with enough complexity to hit that addictive quantity. Great work!

A Giraffe Called GizmoReally unique and interesting concept! It's quite addictive that I played for about 20 minutes, and my best score is 67.9%.

Brick BlockLoved the game. I love ecosystem simulations and you did an incredible game with it, i managed to get 60% i think it's not bad... 5/5 great job ! :D

HELLvolutionGot 54.6% -- Cool game, I wish there were hotkeys for the stuff since I was wasting time clicking the buttons on the right, but other than that, great! Honestly no idea what you could do to expand on this idea, but I'd love to see it lol (subtle nudge to please update this after the jam wink wink)! Other than that, if you have the time, we'd appreciate if you took a look at our game (fellow ant jam game!)

My Tiny ColonyNeat little game, I like the gameplay loop of constantly micro managing between growing the ant colony and getting rid of termites. One thing I would change is to add hot keys like 1,2,3 to the insect selections and also give them sound effects when their cooldowns are off.
Submitted
The Legend of Blade and GrassThanks for the kind words and the feedback! Hot keys will come in the next update. I actually tested some sound effects for cooldowns and for insect placement, but it got too noisy too quickly :( I'm not an SFX expert myself, so if you (or anyone) has advice on how to add those SFX in a pleasant and useful way, please let me know!
Great game ! The theme is well implemented, however wish there were some key bindings to make it easier to switch between types of bugs, however it still is really amusing ! Keep up the good work :)

SCALDRIS : The Arcane ArchitectNice idea! it was hard for me to get a good score haha (managed only 65% x)), but it was a fun small experience! Congratulation for making this!
Submitted
Bar of Demanding Godslove the simple visuals of the game, looks very clean. wish the different bug types had keybinds (press 1, 2, 3 to switch), but it was still fun!

WIZZLE THE SUMMITMANCERReal great concept ! I like the fact that it as practically no art yet the feel of what is going on is there. As a programmer that only knows how to code, it shows that I can make a game that works without mush sprites if I don't find available artists for a jam and if I find a clever enough concept :)
Submitted
Wreck The Rocks!Simple and fun, it reminds me of classic flash games like plague 2, haha. Nice job!

Color Up & DownI wish there was a mode without the time limit. There is something really satisfying about seeing your colony grow
