I thought this a really fun spin on the match 3 genre. I really enjoyed playing and could see this as a really engaging full release with a few more mechanics and variety. Excellent work!
Thanks for the feedback :)
I like the game like a match 3 incremental game, interesting combination. I would add some extra features like if you match 5 to get an extra move or something like this.
The game has great potential for expansion. I was thinking about adding rewards for combos and ways to develop the anthill. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and focused on the "playable minimum."
Loved your take on match 3, Instead of mind-numbing, well, matching 3 of the same icons it is a strategy game where you manage resources. The ants chilling on the right make the game come together i just love watching those lil guys. Great job on the game! Next time please build for web though, nobody likes downloading potential malware, so anybody without a web build gets a lot less plays, plus since you're working in unity it is pretty simple
Thanks for the kind words. About the web version I most simply forgot and did not have time to generate it anymore. I will remember to create future games in the web version.
Edit: I’ve just added the web version (the content is exactly the same as in the .exe).
The Music and Aesthetic are really good! i love you game great job😊👍
I'm glad you like it. Thanks a lot :)
I really like the anthill visual on the right and wish it had more impact on the actual gameplay. Having no interactions (that I could tell?) between eggs / larvae / worker ants and the board made the distinction between them a bit fuzzy. I was just saving up enough resources to lay, hatch, and grow the ant all at once. I feel like there's a lot of potential to deepen the gameplay by adding more interactions between the state of your anthill and the game board!
Three CPU opponents also made the board change a lot between turns, so it was hard to think ahead beyond the current turn.
The controls/UI/animations were all very smooth! Nice work!
Thanks for the feedback. Yes, there is no interaction between the eggs / larvae / ants and the board. I agree that there is potential, but lack of time did not allow me to develop the concept.
