Really cool idea! Doing a simulation game for a game jam is quite ambitious. :-) Definitely fun, but I had a lot of trouble keeping up with my ant party, even after like 2 or 3 ants. Solid art and sound, overall a very polished experience. Gonna try this one with my kids tomorrow, I think they'd like it!

Yea, getting the simulation to work properly was more difficult than we anticipated for sure. We even thought we were trying to keep it 'small'. And yea, one intent was to encourage players to selectively scare away some bugs to keep the vibe of the party at 'optimal' levels, but we ran out of time to really make that part work. Thanks for playing and hopefully your kids enjoy it. Our kids had a good time playing :)
