Great to see you again and thanks!
Sorry to anyone who got their ears blown out by the sound effects, I had already adjusted the sound settings before building the game but it somehow got reverted to the default and I managed to fix it after the jam has already ended:(
Originally I had the idea of some kind of mechanic splitting the rest of the ants from the leader and rejoining with simple enemies but it ended up being too difficult for me to implement it in that time and I've already wasted too much time on tutorials, it ended up being rushed.
