A survival managment game where you must grow a colony of little creatures, and avoid them to be eaten by a dark spreading slime.

Set in a one screen fixed camera map, you play as a tough member of the colony, that can move and send love bullets to the colonists.

Colonists work together like ants, they come and go by themselves from shelters to apple trees in order to reproduce.
By filling them with love, you can guide them, save them, and turn them into apple trees and shelters!

Really really like this concept, there's something so satisfying about accelerating the population growth feedback loop. I found it snowballs quite hard though, maybe I'm just bad but I couldn't get a good foothold before my guys rand headfirst into the goo haha. Thanks for making this.

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah I couldn't do playtesting so it's hard to balance the difficulty, it certainly need more finetuning. 

Here's an info that will help you strategize: the slime is always going towards the best shelter ( the one with the least number of apples required ).
Try to always have two shelter in two different part of the map, and try to spawn the shelter and trees very close together.
