Thanks for letting me know!
I keep killing all my ants! xD
Yeah I lost all my ants too :( Drawing lines is so fun but it kills them..
Actually quite challenging
Pretty awesome, ants seem to die way too fast though even if given ample destination to the surface
It's an interesting prototype, but it's not exactly clear what I'm supposed to be doing, and the ants are very hard to see.
Nice! reminds me of SimAnt, loved that game when i was a kid!
Really nice entry, super interesting! Drawing lines is fun but I haven't quite yet figured out how to go higher than 50 :)
Interesting. I really like this idea a lot. I also killed all my ants.
At first, I thought this game was rather boring, the ants are meh, meh graphics, but, after playing for a little while, I fell oddly in love with this game.
I really enjoy building little paths for my ants and watch them discover it, making routes up to the surface, and seeing them come up for food. Somethin' magical about ants, man. Keep up the good work.
Maintaining an increasing population is a delicate balancing act!
Great game for an LD!
Very fun to play, but after getting the hang of it it was a little too easy.. I'd love to play a full version with maybe floods, birds or other insects to disturb your colony. :)
@Linus Lindberg I had plans for "natural disasters" such as rain and magnifying glasses, but I had some other plans on the weekend to work around so I didn't get around to it. Thanks for the feedback!
I just keep losing my ants after the population start to grow and make 1 small path for them.
A very hard and challenging game. I like it. In short, a good game.
I'm not seeing any of my ants :( kinda ruins the point of the game, so I'll hold off rating it.
@sknoslo any ideas on how to fix this? I'm running windows 8 btw :/
@CheeseyBob, what is your screen resolution? The ants are drawn as a single pixel... and I only got around to testing it on a 1080p monitor, so I'm guessing it could be hard to see if you had a really high pixel density display. I'd like to see a screenshot though if you have the time.
Interesting gameplay. I really like the tunnel drawing mechanic. I could see this being one of those faux simulation games kinda like Pandemic II or something. Good job :)
@sknoslo, my screen res is 1920x1080, but the game runs in an 800x600 window. I can see the ants in your screenshots though, but not at all when I run the game. It may be because I'm on a 64-bit system? I tried a bunch of compatability things to no avail.
Here's the screenshot:

Interesting concept and fun. I would have liked to see a menu and sound though.
@CheeseyBob, that is very strange. Thanks for the screenshot. I also tried it on 64 bit Win8 and it worked fine. Not really sure what could be happening...
Its cool, but I dont feel like controling anything :S
