if the game crashes for you I'm sorry I have no idea what causes it :sob:

When I try to download the game I just get a page that says "Not found"

lexgear 2024-04-16 02:11

I'm also not able to download the game.

I love it haha. The ants leaving the page and coming back with chunks of meat is hilarious. Multiwindow games are always a treat. Love the music, and the little collecting effects. Great job overall :)

Try to make it more responsive next time? Cant tell if my clicks are registering most of the time. Should also give some kind of feedback for when stuff CANNOT be done due to cost and/or population.

Love the presentation and the music, super clever idea. I had a hard time getting my fighters to intercept threats, though

i love the way it uses multiple windows! it was also a little difficult to figure out what i was supposed to be doing, but still fun.

I was a bit lost on how to play, but I found the art really cool!

I really like the visuals of the bugs crawling all over my screen! The gameplay was slightly basic but I enjoyed directing my ants around the screen! The difficulty increased rather quickly, maybe? Overall, really cool entry, I enjoyed it a lot!!

Innovative idea but I was unable to get the intended effect. For me there was just 2 windows, 1 that was all black with ants and the other with a queen stuck in the middle.

music is cool

Really good! Its a basic concept but it came together really well for me, and I enjoyed the experience quite a bit. I wasn't expecting it to run how it did, that was cool.

Developer casually hacking my pc xDD

Nice concept, really fun especially because it runs without background lmao. The most hilarious game I played :)

In the end it was a bit of a mess as the difficulty spikes too fast, but kinda adds to the Virus-vibe this game seems to be going for.

I love the concept but I find the UI implementation completely unacceptable to play with past the first 10 waves or so. You control the fighter ants with the mouse but you also spawn ants with the mouse in the top right..

So you are constantly fighting between defending your queen and needing to summon more ants.

IMO I would suggest one of these options, in order of impl difficulty

1) You have HOTkeys 1,2,3 for the summon ant and convert to worker and fighter ants, so you don't have to redirect the ants away from the battle just to summon more of them.

2) The fighter ants are autonomous just like the worker ants and will track down and kill enemies, themselves. Maybe you are able to set a priority for the enemy types/vs distance?

3) Ants are spawned automatically as soon as you have enough resources, or upto a maximum.

Again. The concept is great, but is greatly hampered by the over reliance on mouse UI

Woahhhhh, this is awesome??? I love this concept. It was a little difficult at first but I love a good challenge!
