Hi thank you so much for playing and taking the time to write such wonderful feedback! I’m so glad to hear you liked the art and had a really nice experience!
I agree entirely that the game was too slow! I nerfed it last second and that was a big mistake, it’s been my strongest feedback so far.
Splitting the swarm sounds like a fascinating idea, I like the concept of sacrificing part of yourself to distract the chickens or lead them away! It makes me wonder if an RTS style control scheme (where you can box cast select locusts as if they were units) would work better! I will definitely investigate that.
Did you have any other suggestions?
