Is this more like a simulation? I didn't find what I could do in the game other than click on UI buttons

Cool sim! I love the art style and the procedural generation, great job :)

Thought that my setup was to blame :smile: but it is a SIM. Nice respawn. There were times that I didn't understand why they didn't spawn. Nice graphics.

Nice idea! Would be great to be able to see what is what by hovering the mouse over an object on the map. Otherwise very original interpretation of the theme.

Interesting idea.

I tried waiting until the colony filled up to see if the ants would expand the colony or something, but the game ground to a halt at around 700 ants until a bunch of them died off. At that point there are so many ants you can't really tell what is going on.

It is a neat thing to watch the ants go about their business. I would like to be able to pause the simulation, click on an ant and see what it is thinking/doing, etc. It is a really impressive accomplishment to do a sim like this in just 48 hours. Great work!

It was fun to watch for a little while. It would have been nice for some way to interact with the simulation, either by placing food or digging tunnels. I really enjoy seeing simulations like this.

Bonus points for the name. :smile:
