Got hard very quick and got very laggy when spawning ants in large amounts, but other than that, I really liked this concept! If it started out a bit easier this would make a really fun game! Good one. :)

Wow cool idea and really addicting! Would really work well as a mobile game. But i encountered a few problems / have suggestions:

1. Even though you wrote it in the tutorial, i completely forgot that you can press enter to buy upgrades. Maybe make that more clear or have the menu open by standard and the game not pausing when its open.

2. It would be cool if the game in the beginning was really easy, and slowly gets harder, but it is based on rounds, and between the rounds, you can buy upgrades based on coins or something you got from the previous round(s).

3. The moving seems a bit complicated, maybe just make some kind of scrolling (with holding the mouse button down)

4. Improve the UI!

But overall, good submission, placing bees is really satisfying because of the sounds and everything. Also, good job on no lag.

I hope my feedback helped, and it would be nice if you could check out my game too. Thanks! :)

I like the game idea and execution. It took a second to understand what was going on but it worked out good. Good game :)

It's an interesting concept that could go further if done right. Between new ants and enemies you can add a lot. What you have now though is pretty good, good job!

Developer

Thank you very much! Yes I will keep working on it and will bring an artist friend to the project :) Follow me if you want to see the evolution of the game!

Really fun take on the theme. I think with a few more upgrades and enemies this could work super well on mobile. Great job!

Developer

Thank you very much! Yeah I plan to add waps, spiders and anteaters :) Do you have ideas for more upgrades ?

I like the concept of the game, but either I'm very bad at it or the difficulty ramps a lot way early; I managed to survive a bit longer only by buying the two upgrades as soon as I started. Aside from this, it's an interesting take on the tower-defense genre

Thank you! Yeah it's best to buy the upgrades at the beginning. I had more upgrades planned but they caused too much lag ^^' The maximum score is around 750K for now, which is about 2minutes of surviving. I wanted the game to be short (for now).
