I'm glad you liked it! The ant AI was pretty complicated. To put it simply, the ants have many motives, some stronger than others depending on their surroundings, time, and some RNG. As more directives were added their desire to do any specific action and essentially "attention span" shrank, which is a natural tendency of ants in real life. I tried my best to get the AI as perfect as possible, working with someone who researches swarm and insect behavior.
Edit: Each ant is roughly 300 lines of code :)
Really cool game! The AI for the character not controlled by the player was awesome. Shooting and movement felt very satisfying from all the polish. If you continue working on the game (which I think you should) try to make a smoother transition between characters, and an enemy that somehow makes you to switch characters more. Overall great job! :)
