spent so long on this game forgot the jam ended omg so sorry :,(( on the flipside i'm only one upgrade away :0 great work, was super nice running this in the background >:)

This was superfun, the art is really pretty too!

Didn't expect to see an idle clicker! It's cozy and chill, and could be a nice way to relax. Also a nice little avenue into how managing a colony of ants might feel.

Stuff I think may use some improvement: I got attacked by a mantis very early, before I had any food income - that made me confused. Maybe a more solid way of progression in the beginning? The music also doesn't quite match the theme I think (not to say it's not good to listen to).

Cheers!

Really loved this one. I love ants, currently at a Stage 4 Colony, baby!  The science ant with the glasses is the most adorable thing.  Anyone playing this, it's all about nibbles per second (NPS) in the beginning, eating bugs is what really gets the ant cash flowing.   Just fantastic.

I enjoyed this game! It's fun to have on the background while I'm doing something else (like working on another jam game haha)! I love the music and overall vibe of the game!

Here's some feedback if y'all continue to work on this game:

• It does get a bit hard to compare numbers if you're thinking about which to purchase. I'm not sure of the best fix, but it has something to do with the digits not being aligned after some purchases (e.g., after you buy some of the earlier ants the hundredth's place shows, and because the costs go up you might want to buy a different ant, but the digits aren't aligned so it's hard to quickly tell which number is bigger). Maybe commas every 3 digits could work? Not sure if that would look good. Just my experience as I was playing.
• I didn't immediately realize I was getting attacked. I think I got the weevil at first, and I thought it was just an ant that showed up after I got some of them. I eventually noticed the "Weevil Attack" text, and bought some attack ants to learn what was happening.
• It'd be cool to see ants moving around. I think that'd be a nice addition to really feel the growth (doesn't have to be exact, like even just a number of dots moving around the colony or something). Even though the colony grew I just didn't really feel the impact that much. 

Overall great job! I will definitely be coming back to this game as something to mess around with while I'm doing other things--I think you captured the idle clicker genre really well :)

This held my attention wayyyy longer than I thought it would. Nice job! Loved the art, graphics, and all of the ant puns! A very interesting take on the theme! It really made we wish that I could watch my ants somehow.

Cool idle game with nice looking.

Feedbacks :

• early game is way too slow
• UI is a bit too big
• a wall of texts as instructions is really tough

Great game, it´s fun see how the colony grow up. I believe that the game sound its a little high.

I played for a while :P I hope my mouse isn't broken. GG!

I thing it’s important to decide whether it is a clicker game, or an idle game. Because for idle game you want to move away from manual gathering pretty quickly and instead rely on automation. And clicker games, well, they are bad for my mouse so I don’t like them.

There is a lot of potential for an interesting idle game. But the balancing needs some more thought. Remember that this is a jam game and people are unlikely to spent more that 5 minutes on it. So given that, you can calculate how fast the progression should go to showcase all the interesting things in 5 minutes.

Other then that, I would probably suggest switching the font for a more readable one, because you have a lot of text. And show the amount of ants needed for more layers to give a feeling of progression.

All in all, a solid job, if a little overtuned for a jam game.
