The only reason I don't give a full score is because the lack of audio.

Other than that, this is awesome, great game. I love roguelikes so maybe I'm a bit biased here, but I love it. I like the upgrade system, and the egg hatching was well thought mechanic as well.

Good game, like the concept and the movement of all the bugs and, I can't imagine how much work would have gone into this.

I really enjoyed this game! I liked how nice and simple is it to understand and play! 

Idk if its just me but was there supposed to be any audio, like music and SFX? If there wasn't, it might be good to have some (in my opinion). 

But overall the game is very fun, and a nice take on the 'Bug' theme!

Developer

Yeah sorry about that , there is no SFX or music because i ran out of time.

Nice enemy IA, the movements in the idle state are very convincing. 

Great game!

I liked the game but my childred enjoyed it so much they didn't let me play after the first few levels!

A surprisingly large number of levels for only a 1 month project! The tooltip popup at the top left was a bit distracting / occasionally covered stuff up, and I was a bit unclear on how to actually pickup the items I purchased. Otherwise really fun sine-wave like movement, quick and snappy controls and visually clear  fights!

Developer

Yeah you right about the tool tip, i should have test the game more in full screen mode.

The game concept is super cool and has a lot of potentials!

I really loved this game!! I am looking forward to play more of this in future releases!

I really enjoyed gathering an army and just rolling through the levels. I'm sure in the higher levels it becomes necessary to buy powerups, but as far as I played I was just able to roll everything with as many ants as I could afford. It might be neat if having more ants had a passive draining of food supply, to encourage different playstyles. Overall a fun game!

That an great idea to balance out the ant spam.

Not a big RTS guy but this was fun with nice player and enemy movement mechanics. Great job!

This one of my favorites so far. The bigger the swarm is the more fun it gets especially when the other enemy types appear. 👍

I don't think I have ever seen an rts at a game jam before! I had fun amassing an army, and the game felt easy until all my units died to a worm :(. I would love to hear little fight sound effects, but the particles looked neat, and the settings menu is really nice. Good work!

Developer

Thank for you feedback and yeah unfortunately i ran out of time before i could do any of the audio stuff.

An interesting game. I am not sure how to use the items I purchased, so I just kept hatching new eggs. Its fun to see my army grows. Nice job :D

Developer(+1)

Thank you and to use the item you just need to pick it up using the attack key then press the key again on the an ant you want to use the item on.
