Took me a bit to get it, but then it was clear. Very nicely built ant simulation! It was fun seeing them carry the dots. It did get a bit laggy towards the end of the match, but nothing significant. Well done!

Look like a very fun game. But too hard to enter into it. I think tht you must make some tutorial with simple a simple map and some easy objectives that guide us through the comprehension of the game. By the way very good concept you must pursue it and finalise it i would buy this game it's what i was looking for a very long time.

What a neat game! I included it in my XanderJam 3 compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

very fun extension of Sebastian Lague's project. would be nice to have a time-scale slider to speed up the simulation. they move a little too slow for my liking

Thanks! It was a hard fight between frame rate in the browser and how many ants I could have / how fast I could simulate them. :)

Nice job on knocking this out! Fun concept with the ants lol.  Now I want to watch AntsCanada on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/AntsCanada

Yeah I lost a few nights just watching the ants grow haha

Nice game, it was a pleasent relaxing experience, my only complaint is that the background wooden plank textures were a bit too bold in my opinion, good game :)

Developer

Thank you! Art is realllllly not my strong suit but I thought it was better than the default blue background.

This is a really cool take on the theme, I always watch Sebastian Lague's videos and it is cool to see someone use on of the ideas in his videos into a game jam, and the game is really chilled out and fin to mess around with.

Well done :]

Developer

Thank you! He's an inspiration to us all hehe

Really love the concept of evolving ants getting better traits etc. 

I wasn't sure what I was doing placing food and mutigen (whats the difference (maybe i missed it)) 

It was a really cool looking simulation and a lot of variance in gamemodes for such a short period of time!

Thanks! I could have been clearer on the difference, mutagen made the ants mutate a lot more. Glad you liked it!
