A swarm size indicator is a great idea, I'd definitely look into a visual metric but if I can't get that to work then it would just be a simple count! I'll be sure to include that, thank you for the suggestion! Also an indicator of how many locusts had been lost as you go would be great too!
I agree, multiplayer is a whole other can of worms. I simply meant an AI swarm!
By the way, would you be interested in testing future versions/ projects?
