This game is so similar to mine! You even did some things I didn't get time to, like the leaf bridge.

I had a few lag spikes, but otherwise it worked pretty great.

As you can tell from the game I built, I really like this concept!

Once I'd ruthlessly murdered the competing colonies, I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do next, is there a win condition?

Maybe I'm biased, but I rated this very highly

Amazing little game!!

Half an hour passed and I had no idea! Almost missed SilkSong's release, love the little ant animations. The game started lagging out a bit when the ant count reached 70-110, I guess I should have been a bit more agressive to keep the numbers down. I hope you consider continuing developing this though, there are a lot of really fun little ideas going on here!

Liked the game and the concept and was fun playing, just found the UI a bit fiddly.

Developer

Happy to hear ya liked it, and thanks for the feedback! 

UI is definitely fiddly, especially on the web version - if you drag select to the outside of the game, it's hard to stop the drag select.

I'll try to fix it before the end of the grace period (tomorrow 11am), if not I'll aim to add a fix once the jam is over 👌

An ant RTS game... Love the idea!
The UI is a little small and I would have loved to be able to speed up the game as well

Developer

Glad ya liked it! :D 
I've scaled up the ant button UI to be more visible - won't be able to speed up the game since that might break the jam rules tho :( 

Definitely gonna add a button to speed-up time once the jam is over - it's a great idea!!

Developer

the UI was a little too small but the gameplay loop is great! would recommend people download this to play it, my browser started to struggle after a bit with so many ants haha. The music also didn't loop, so after a few minutes it got quiet. small things, overall really enjoyable!

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback and the bugfix tips! :D

I've fixed the music looping issue and scaled up the ant button 🫡

Downloading it is good advice, I've added a note at the top of the game page to suggest doing so to players

The Game Idea is Cool ...Didn't See The 'Add Ant' Button At First Since Its So Small And of To The Cornor , and As Soon as i got to About 15+ Ants..The Game Become Very Buggy..But The Concept Of The Game Truly is Worth Well Designed.. :)

Developer (1 edit)

That ant button was really well hidden xd I've scaled it up now, thanks for the tip!

Sadly couldn't optimise the game in-time for the jam deadline, but if there's interest I'm happy to optimise it by a bunch once the jam's over! :D

Glad ya had a nice time playing it tho :]
