In what way does your game fit the theme?
The theme was, Stronger Together. In my game you are stronger together, when you summon more ants into the colony to fight off enemies.

Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
I wrote all the code myself and for the assets, they where partially made from scratch and a bit of help from flaticon.com

Really nice game! The idea was great, I was a bit confused with the WASD movement and the mouse, maybe change the page description to avoid confusion. The customization of the color is a nice touch good work!

Developer

Thank you very much. Yeah the WASD is a bit confusing. Initially WASD was the only way to move your character, but later I added the mouse movement. So I guess if you don't have a mouse you could still use WASD. But who doesn't have a mouse  😂

Fun game! I found that it was a little too easy to survive. Maybe difficulty setting would make a good addition.

Developer

Thank you for the suggestion. As a matter of fact, the game does get harder as you level up 🤪

I don't know why but at first I thought the ants following me were missiles trying to kill me 😂. Didn't take too long though to understand what was going on and I enjoyed the game quite a bit. Nice job!

Nice game, I like that you can change the color. It got a bit laggy with more than a 100 ants, but i played in the browser.

If you have time, check out our game.

Nice to have a customization option, the art looks good.
I can't control with WASD, just with W and Mouse look. Adding some animations and a few more mechanics would be great. 

Developer

Yes agree that would be a good idea, I will be sure to add that if I decide to work on the game some more :)

I really enjoyed playing your game! It just was a little easy as you could just keep on pressing space

Fun game, I liked that I can customize my colony! Was cool to watch my colony grow, great job implementing that, overall it's a cool game!

Like the .io game vibe Some animations to see when the enemy was attacking or when my ants were attacking would be nice.

Developer

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my project. I was planning on making animations or changing the color of the ants or mobs when they where being attacked, but I didn't think that it was so necessary, maybe I'll add that one day in the future!

Great game, really feel the agario vibe in there. 

Developer

Thank you, I was really going for that kind of vibe

Nice game! Trying to understand the mechanics at first is a bit difficult, a tutorial or explanation would be very helpful. Some bugs are really fast and you are not able to see them coming, so I would recommend having a larger camera as you get more ants. The gameplay itself is pretty enjoyable, good job!

Developer

Thank you for the feedback, I really appreciate it. Maybe if I decide to work on this game some more, I will improve on the things you have brought out.

Nice Game :D

I loved this game! I cant figure out why you need WASD as you only move with W. I think you nailed the theme and I ended up spending 10 mins enjoying a massive army of ant. There is something about swarm building that is addictive :) Well done! Rated. You got full marks for theme! 

Developer

Hi, thank you so much for the feedback. The WASD was just there if you did not have a mouse, and was my initial idea for character movement, I eventually added the mouse for changing direction and just decided to leave the WASD controls as is.

Cool game but a bit buggy. Get it?

Developer

Yeah, I agree it is a bit buggy...

cool idea, i'm just sad that because of my computer i can't get too many ants or the fps goes down

Cool idea, I could see this being extra fun as a local multiplayer game or something like that, good work!

Fun simple game. I like the tradeoff between spawning and sprinting. I also like that it looks like a Master System game box. Well done.
