Good game, really complete, it's a bit difficult to understand everything at first but once you've got it, it's really cool and pretty too, good job! ;)

I really enjoyed this game! One of my favorites from this jam for sure. I loved the concept, and there was a good balance of learning new mechanics and learning a better strategy, but also improving my efficiency (good balance of micro and macro). I was engaged with this game for quite a while!

There were a couple things that would have liked to see:
- Pause time while building: since there were several new upgrades to read the descriptions for, and get familiar with resources needed - I basically had to accept that my current run was doomed if I wanted to take the time to read the new upgrade

- I would have liked to see a timer on when the next wave was going to come.

- Having different buttons to enter/exit was confusing at the start - I would have preferred it to be the same button


Really really enjoyed this one - very well done!

Really Loved the concept & Art Style! Well polished and fun game. Great work!

Very cool idea, could see this being fleshed out into something really cool with some work on the controls + progression. Great foundation to work from!

I think this idea has potential, but it could not enjoy it much, because after a few minutes of farming with a peaceful music, I was under attack (which felt very intense, very fast). With the artstyle and the initial tone, I would have appreciated to focus on the building layer of the game (ant colony) rather than the fighting layer. Thanks for sharing your game :)

You should make less enemies spawn at the beginning. I didn't have the chance to gather anything and was already surrounded.

Incase you don't know, you can get out of the machine and attack them by yourself, if you didn't know that's on me
