Awesome game, i played this way longer than i expected to. I really love the progression ark, and building up a little drone army. Great to see the variety of gameplay you can have on each playthrough. Only feedback is the currency between the hive and lower bars was a bit confusing, i didn't realise i was spending my main "goal" currency. Might have helped having an icon or something to show the connection between the two. Great job.
Awesomeee, nice game! congrats
I planned to play for just 5 minutes, but ended up sticking around for 20. Dude, your game is awesome! And the fact that it's on a custom engine in C++ — that's truly impressive!
The gameplay is actually slowed down by the automatic free upgrades. I spammed past them at a certain point. I do like the weapon effects. The num keys should work for numpad as well.
Wow this is a really cool game, I can't believe you came up with so many upgrade options. The chain feeling is satisfying, and the overall concept is adorable.

Such a fun game! Love a good ugprade system where you end up feeling like a god and just barely have to move to kill everything! Very fun.
get god mod and stay in middle. 5 :star:
I couldn't seem to be able to die, pretty looking game though
Nice game. I went for a full auto victory with a fleet of 60 pumped up drones. Not the fastest but really satisfactory to just chill and see the drones do all the work.
I would love to see some music and some different sfx for the enemies. At the end of my game it sounded like a mechanical keyboard mashing hahaha
The custom C++ engine bit is very impressive and the leaderboard was also a nice addition! Awesome submission
That was a lot of fun! The loop of upgrading and getting more powerful and making the ants more powerful too was really fun. I got a bit cocky and pumped the ants up way too much though :D Great job!
I had an absolute blast playing this game it was difficult later on and I got cocky but it was a real fun game to play it took a while to ramp up and the power ups where very scarce for me. I would ask to increase the pace of the game but it was really fun overall
Really fun! I've lost the first play and then I managed to win the second, just challenging as it needed to be 👍 I love the feeling of chaining enemies, and I laugh at the drones being saucers x)
The only thing that annoyed me was the free upgrade popup constantly interrupting me, but it's fine. I really liked all the keyboard shortcuts on the bottom. Well done, great game!
The upgrades make it really fun, and I appreciate you assigning each a key so I can just press for that upgrade. Having chain damage was very satisfying. Overall it is a compelling little experience that makes you want to keep getting stronger. Well done
oh man I didn't realize there was a leaderboard. I spent way too much time just increasing drones and spawn rates to see a bunch of things on screen at once xD your game holds up really well with a bunch of stuff happening at once!
I found myself really compelled even though it took me a moment to figure out what was happening. I really enjoyed it! Nice entry!
This game hooked me! It's well balanced and has well thought out gameplay core based on the "risk and reward" rule. Good polish, shooting is satysfying and vfx is pleasing to look at and.. it's just fun to play really. Outside of that replayability is huge! Even during first playthrough you can already see there is a lot of strategies to try.
I was also impressed by the amount of details that went into UX. SO MANY keybinds but also tutorial toggle, option to show timer, leaderboard, time is paused on the free reward popup so it's not stressful, UX work here is just great!
This is a fantastic entry and I had a lot of fun playing this. Good job! :thumbsup:
LOL I was 374th place 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That was fun! I love incremental games, and I thought it was really interesting that you basically set your own challenge level by increasing the spawn speed and spawn level. I'll admit I had a blast toward the end especially when I was constantly powered up and like 200 drones just slaughtered everything instantly while my beam was branching across the screen.
