Quite an interesting game. Perhaps a bit too easy to spam 'infect' though; I took over a vast swathe of the map like that, barely needed to produce infected ants or move mushrooms around
Not having the movement keys behind a menu would be nice, but that's a minor gripe~
Nice work

It's a very cool game idea! Are you planning on further working on it?

Very original game idea and the visuals have a nostalgic feeling! I'm not very familiarized with this kind of game, so without a tutorial was very hard to understand what to do, maybe you could give some love for the UI later and include a brief instruction/help page to guide players through their objective ;)

Quite a weird and original idea! Controling an expandable ant colony as only one entity definitely fits the theme.

Of course, the execution could be far better with keypad controls, an easy-to-read font, more feedbacks on what's going on, etc. But it's a pretty interesting concept nonetheless, and your work is enough to convey its potential. Well played.

I definitely liked the idea here of all the ants moving as one and taking one action a turn. I wasn't 100% sure what my goal was and how the rules worked (sometimes infect gave me new ants, sometimes it didn't) but I was able to grow my army to like 14 or so ants so I considered that a win. The font was really hard to read but there's something here, great job!

I have several negative things to say about the game, the balance is non-existant, there is no direction and the controls are rage inducing. On the positive, the game is unique, with better controls and balance it has potential. I see it as an attempt to do an ambicious game with not enough time. Keep going at it, there is something good that can be found inside this game but its not being shown here.

Theme, sorry, i dont really see it.

Originality, what i mentionend earlier, there is a nugget of gold hidden inside the game, its truly original and it can become a great game, as Mark would say this has potench and its unique. Dont be discouraged and pursue this concept with a better aproach.

Like others have mentioned, it's rather difficult to get into, but it's quite streamlined for an RTS made during a 2-day game jam. Very well done!

You need to work on showing the player how to play. It felt satisfying getting close to a group of ants and starting a chain reaction of taking them over. Well done and keep up the good work :)

There's definitely a lot of potential for a fun and addicting experience, maybe even multiplayer, where two parties have to infect each other or something. At the moment, it was a little difficult to follow, and I managed to infect way too many ants just by mashing the Infect button over and over for a while.  But it's a very cool idea!

Agree with the last commenter that it seems like an interesting idea, but I don't really get it. As far as I can tell, I can basically spam infect (and occasionally move up to the next bulk of red ants) to add all ants to the hive. But then what exactly do the fungi do? And what do the numbers over the holes indicate? And what does produce do?

I'd recommend explaining what each mechanic does on the game's page. Let me know if you do and I'll give the game another shot and rate it when I feel like I understand it better. :)

Quite interesting but I didn't quite get it. Felt like having to click move then picking a direction was a little hindering.
