Thanks for playing! I’m glad you found it cool! Did you have any suggestions?

I do have some if you would like to hear it. Right off the bat the window is pretty small. At first glance I was very confused as to what was going on because I didn't read the instructions immediately. This one is personal preference but I thought the movement of the little locusts was pretty slow. It felt like I was 90% moving around 10% actually doing things.
I would love to hear all your suggestions! I want to know how I can improve in every way.
Firstly definitely need to make the game scale better, I agree the window is way too small. This was just a rushed jam thing.
Ingame instructions are a must too, honestly I’m surprised people are even reading the bio at all, most jams, people generally don’t.
Finally, I agree there’s too much time spent not having fun. I wonder if it would better if the swarm could enter a flying mode that uses more energy but allows you to move around a lot quicker. It’s the eating that’s fun and there isn’t enough!
It’s also inspired me to perhaps change the health system from individual to group (e.g. the locusts have collective health and when it gets too low, they start dying, rather than each locust needing its own food or it will die).
This has been really helpful and just reading your comment I’ve come up with so many ideas. Do you have any other feedback?
