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:
- It does get a bit hard to compare numbers if you're thinking about which to purchase. I'm not sure of the best fix, but it has something to do with the digits not being aligned after some purchases (e.g., after you buy some of the earlier ants the hundredth's place shows, and because the costs go up you might want to buy a different ant, but the digits aren't aligned so it's hard to quickly tell which number is bigger). Maybe commas every 3 digits could work? Not sure if that would look good. Just my experience as I was playing.
- I didn't immediately realize I was getting attacked. I think I got the weevil at first, and I thought it was just an ant that showed up after I got some of them. I eventually noticed the "Weevil Attack" text, and bought some attack ants to learn what was happening.
- It'd be cool to see ants moving around. I think that'd be a nice addition to really feel the growth (doesn't have to be exact, like even just a number of dots moving around the colony or something). Even though the colony grew I just didn't really feel the impact that much.
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 :)
