How does your game fit the theme?
Ant Colonies are "Built to Scale" in that more ants means faster progress. Ants are also related to scale since they are tiny, but through the growth of a colony, they can build themselves to scale enemies

Really loved this one. I love ants, currently at a Stage 4 Colony, baby! The science ant with the glasses is the most adorable thing. Anyone playing this, it's all about nibbles per second (NPS) in the beginning, eating bugs is what really gets the ant cash flowing. Just fantastic.
Thanks for playing, we're glad you enjoyed! And that's true, more dead bug enemies = more food for the colony, just like in real life :DD
I enjoyed this game! It's fun to have on the background while I'm doing something else (like working on another jam game haha)! I love the music and overall vibe of the game!
Here's some feedback if y'all continue to work on this game:
Overall great job! I will definitely be coming back to this game as something to mess around with while I'm doing other things--I think you captured the idle clicker genre really well :)
Thank you so much for the compliments and feedback! We'll definitely add more animation in the future :>
Very cozy idle game!! There's something really satisfying about buying bigger ants :D The art is really cute, would love to see animations of the ant colony :)
This held my attention wayyyy longer than I thought it would. Nice job! Loved the art, graphics, and all of the ant puns! A very interesting take on the theme! It really made we wish that I could watch my ants somehow.
Thank you so much :> We'll add more ant portraits and animation in the future!
Cool idle game with nice looking.
Feedbacks :
Thanks for the feedback! We'll take note of it for next time ! :>
I think the UI can be improved, the font and the art don't quite match in my opinion. I find it hard to read, but this could be a preference thing. The game progress too slow for me
Great game, it´s fun see how the colony grow up. I believe that the game sound its a little high.
Thanks for playing! We did notice that volume bit ^^; We'll take note of that next time, thank you for the feedback!
Fun incremental game! I like the art style and theming behind this, and I’ve definitely spent too much time playing the game. Would be nice to have a save feature in the future!
I really liked the art style, especially of the ants. It might take too long to start making progress, very cute game
I played for a while :P I hope my mouse isn't broken. GG!

Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing! You did so well in growing your colony!!! >:0
(Apart from the mouse, you can also use the spacebar to click faster hehe :> we'll make sure to add that in the instructions next time ToT )
Okay, hopped on to play for a minute and give it a rating, and now it's going to be on in the background while I work all day haha. Great effort for a two-person team, good job!
Great game ! I like the art, however it should work faster, i don't mind it but not a lot of people would play a game for too long. Althrough u did a good job, keep up the good work :)
nice clicker game! would be nice to see the ants appearing when i add them to the colony. i think the mantis attack to early as well
I thing it’s important to decide whether it is a clicker game, or an idle game. Because for idle game you want to move away from manual gathering pretty quickly and instead rely on automation. And clicker games, well, they are bad for my mouse so I don’t like them.
There is a lot of potential for an interesting idle game. But the balancing needs some more thought. Remember that this is a jam game and people are unlikely to spent more that 5 minutes on it. So given that, you can calculate how fast the progression should go to showcase all the interesting things in 5 minutes.
Other then that, I would probably suggest switching the font for a more readable one, because you have a lot of text. And show the amount of ants needed for more layers to give a feeling of progression.
All in all, a solid job, if a little overtuned for a jam game.
Thanks for the feedback! We'll definitely improve on these next time ^^
I'm not a big fan of clicker games, but l liked this one :) Style is very cute, and there is potential. Progression is a bit slow imo for a game jam submission.
I'am a enjoyer of clicker games and this one has potential! Progression could be a bit faster, tho
the UI is also a bit overwhelming, some simple icons representing food and sciantists (fantastic name btw) would reduce by a good amount the need of text.
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for playing! :> We'll improve the UI in the future for sure!
Cool take on the theme and love the game, though I am a clicker fan lol, GJ.
Fun and addictive little clicker game! I'm really enjoying it.
Very cute and strangely addictive. I love the art and the puns. Only complaint is that the music gets a bit annoying after a while. Well done!
cute little clicker game! great job
