Really cute idea and great graphics
I managed to beat the second level without carrying sugar, and running at 3 fps in firefox. I just zipped right past all the bugs and got the whole sugar stash for myself. Model general. Perhaps the goal should be to get N (or any) troops to the sugar, rather than just yourself? Looks pretty though.
I always have one stupid ant that's always going the wrong way :-) Fun game.
I like the indirect control of the troops concept, bloody difficult game!
Amazing little game. Awkward to control units indirectly but then that's what makes the game challenging. Gets a little clunky when everything's all clustered into one area. Nice graphics. Very well done. I enjoyed it quite a lot!
Performance is pretty bad in firefox 3.6, but neat idea. Swarm against swarm battles could be interesting to explore further.
Loved the graphics. AI was frustrating to deal with.
Brings back some memories of playing SimAnt! Nice graphics too.
The AI works poorly. All my soldiers get stuck, and won't defend me even though I have the sugar.
Graphics are good though, and it runs okay for me on firefox 3.6.16
@mpc174 SimAnt was one of the first games I ever played - a classic!
Nice visual treatment, but the soldier ants didn't seem all that helpful - they all got killed halfway through the first level and I sprinted the rest, then on level 2 I didn't see any sugar so just sprinted with a sunflower.
Insect Overlord. Very nice.
Very interesting concept. Good work on the graphics too.
Very innovative and the graphics are nice - managed to finish it and killed all the bugs on the second level :)! Well done!
Not bad, I like the idea. I got horribly stuck (not literally) in the first level with all soldier ants getting killed and me badly hurt.
Works really nice in a modern browser like IE9.
I had trouble playing this on ff.. It works great on IE9. looks pretty great too but I was disappointed when it ended after the second level. It seems like all you do is lead ants to battle.. but it is fun. You don't actually 'order' the ants to affect battle strategy.. which could be interesting.
My suggestions, (1)have surviving ants, gain xp so you can gather a small but trusted group of elite(high lvl) ants to use in the later levels.(2)Add later levels.
(3)Give ants different roles?
Overall very thematic and great fun.
