Gonna be honest - didn't really understand how to play! Regardless I found it rather calming!

Thanks for the try ! 

Yes sorry, unfortunately we ran out of time working on the basic game loop - there was too much optimization to do . We even accidentally submitted the debug version where the markers are still visible on the screen ... 

But we're glad that it was still somewhat enjoyable !

I appreciate the concept, and the art and music. The music has a nature feel, which matches the game. Reminds me of SimAnt + StarCraft. Couldn't figure out how to make more ants. Adjusting your ant properties sounds interesting, and I like the color slider, haha.

Thanks for playing ! Glad you liked the concept ! As you can see there is a lot of optimization to do unfortunately, the way the ants move around is very costly

This game reminds me of SimAnt. For being so simple, the textures are pleasing and the game itself is very calming. Good job.

Glad you liked the concept ! It's a shame we weren't able to finish it on time.
We'll keep the textures we made and the lessons we learnt for a next project :)
