Okay, so I played this game once on the default difficulty and thought it was fine. I was bit confused about some of the mechanics, but overall it seemed like I just was leading around an ever growing herd of ants. So then I turned the difficulty up to max, and holy cow this game is amazing. Probably the most fun I've had with LD game so far. Getting chased around by bigger herds and preying on smaller ones is fantastic. I still don't fully understand what causes my insects to win a battle (is just comparing size, is it randomized somewhat, or does the way I approach the other insects matter?). Anyways, I love this and I hope you continue development.
ETA: Played some more and realized a few notes I would like to make. First, the bug AI gets stuck in the corner giving you free bugs. Second, it appears to just be a number comparison. I was losing and only had 100 bugs and single swarm left was on my tail. I was planning on slowing cutting his forces down. I surrounded one of his bugs and as soon as I touched it, I lost (even though I had the singular one overwhelmed) since the other swarm was bigger, I lost. I think system could be better to allow for more strategy and the potential for comebacks.
