Hey, reading your replies it seems like you only got to play the game for a few minutes before losing steam and giving up. The main point of the game is to optimize things and it's vital to beating the final level in a reasonable time. Optimizing a level multiplies the efficiency of each higher level (by providing more ants) so it's quite important. Therefore giving up and brute forcing things after the second level will lead to an unpleasant experience.
Like you said, this was probably caused by your distaste for the genre so I'm glad you were still able to somewhat enjoy the game. And thank you for your feedback.
