I like your idea. Searching around and assigning ants for work. It's chill at first. But I feel bored the more I played. When I upgraded the moving speed to 8/9, I can eat everything in a second, even a piece of bread(I guess it's the longest time required food?). And I don't have a goal. What should the player do when I get a lot of power? Maybe cutting the trees or crushing the rocks when I have so many ants.

Some advice for UIUX, telling the player available ants instead of working ants would help. Then, I no need to do the math assigning the ants.

BGM is great. It fits the vibe nicely. Except it is too short. So I feel it's repeating over and over.

Other than that, great entry. Well done!

Chill game with no enemies, pretty fun to grind more ants and find food.

Only problem for me was the low amount of food and the progression as if you eat an apple you can get enough ants and upgrades to eat every other food in seconds.

And then the games becomes just searching like a detective for a potatoe or tasty red apple hidden in the corner of the map.

Anyway, great idea and chill atmosphere just needs a bit more tuning of the values. 

This game was pretty fun to play!

One suggestion I have might be to match some of the sprites a bit more, mainly I'd say the character, as the character is just one solid color with a black/really dark outline, while the objects and such in the world have shading and don't have a black outline. 

I'd also add a diagonal animation for the ant as it looks a bit awkward, but I'm guessing you've already heard that. 

Last suggestion would be to add a slider or something for the call menu, as manually typing in the value every time and making sure it works gets pretty tedious.

By the way I was able to abuse that negative working ant glitch and got like -5000ish, and was able to get to the species level 15 pretty fast lol, so that was interesting.

Anyways the game was really fun to play, good job!

Nice game it had certain small bugs but overall good game.

There can be certain improvements such as adding enemies and you have to fight other ant empires or fighting insects, you can add like a small abilities such as sprint, smell for detecting food when you have evolved enough.

A some bugs: The UI is a bit broken when you are in fullscreen and the working ants goes to  "-1", but overall nice game.

the game was nice. It was very relaxing and the map was really big. I ended up having 100 ants, At some point of the game my food points reached a negative number when i was spamming the ant power ups, maybe it was a bug. The only problem that i had was there were very few food, and one suggestion is that instead of clicking the left mouse button repeatedly it would be better if you just hold it instead.

very cool, the only issue is the lack of food, i feel like i'm on antartica

A solid idea for the theme. The graphics are pretty simple but get the point across, I noticed and liked all the small touches you added, like the objects fading out when you're behind them, or the text scaling up on hover.

It took me a while to find food, and I reloaded several times. I think maybe having a minimap could've gone a long way in helping the player figure out where they're at, both location-wise, and food-wise (although that can be really hard to implement). Or maybe an option to zoom out for a moment if you stand still and press a key ? Even an arrow pointing towards the hive would've been super helpful in keeping track of my position, it's really hard not getting lost, although I guess that's part of the experience of being an ant :)

I think you did a great job at explaining the concept of the game, although one thing that tripped me up is that I figured out leaves were food only like after 10 minutes of playing (since you cannot eat bushes and trees, I thought leaves were also decorative only), so having a list of food at the beginning could fix that.

Regarding the UI, I feel like you can't reassign the number of workers on a particular food? But the windows still shows up if you click on it. Having to type in a number is a bit jarring, maybe having a + and - button on top of that could make things smoother. I'm also not sure if there's a way to get the exhausted ants back to work, I couldn't find an explanation for that.

I feel like I've talked a lot about negatives and possible improvements, but all in all it was still relaxing to walk around and assign workers on food, it would've been really great with small tweaks and QoL improvements here and there. Well done :)
