Great little colony sim. Very fun scrambling to try to use the correct insect type to stop the termites.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
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!
Thanks a lot for the kind words and the feedback!
A really cool game, just simple enough to be immediately understandable but with enough complexity to hit that addictive quantity. Great work!
Thanks a lot! :)
Really unique and interesting concept! It's quite addictive that I played for about 20 minutes, and my best score is 67.9%.
Thank you! I'm happy it kept you engaged! :D You got a pretty good score!
Nice idea. More insect types and missions would be cool. Mechanics like food needed to reproduce.
I'm sure I scored in the bottom.
Thanks for the feedback! Hopefully I will expand the game in the future :)
Loved 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
Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it! :D
This one had me hooked! Got 75% high score :) What an awesome game! Nice job!
That's a pretty high score, well done! Glad you liked it! :)
Got 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!)
Nice score! Thanks for the kind words and the feedback! I'm always up for a fellow ant game, so I'm heading over yours :)
Neat 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.
Thanks 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 :)
Thank you! I agree, key bindings must come in the next update :)
this game sound great!! Also your game page
is clean and better than my game page... maybe I should learn from you
Thanks a lot, happy that you enjoyed it! :)
Nice 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!
Thank you, glad you had fun! I must say, in my experience, 60-80% is quite a good score :)
love 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!
Thank you for the kind words! I sadly forgot to implement key bindings, but it will come in a future update :)
Real 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 :)
Thanks for the kind words! Indeed, from the simple artwork you can tell I'm a programmer too ;)
Amazing idea and gameplay! This looks simple but it requires fast judgement and high APM in order to win. Also the random level makes it very replayable.
Thanks a lot for the kind words! At first I was worried that randomness would make it feel unfair, but I think now it is working well. Hope you are having fun with it :)
Simple and fun, it reminds me of classic flash games like plague 2, haha. Nice job!
Thanks! :) Glad you had fun!
Very happy to see an ant related game. It's easy to understand and play, good job!
Thanks a lot!
I wish there was a mode without the time limit. There is something really satisfying about seeing your colony grow
I agree, that mode will surely come in the next update :) Thanks for the feedback!
I could get lost in this for hours, really well executed, great use of the theme and most importantly.... FUN :D
+1 for fellow Ant Game 🐜🐜🐜
Thanks a lot, happy you are enjoying it! <3
Fun and unique idea. I would love to see more buy types added in future. GG!
Thank you for the kind words! I will keep your suggestion in mind for future updates :D
