@martta sorry for the problem, the HTML5 version should work now. thankfully porting is allowed
amazing i love ants
didnt entirely understand the controls tbh for whih mouse button does what exactly. still had fun watching them go in waves instead of just a straigh tline for whatever reason
I got lost in this for a while. Just watching the ants move back and forth is really mesmerising. I figured out a good strategy. Focusing on strengthening paths from the spawn to each food and then to eachother got a nice path going. Screenshot 2024-10-10 172010.png
Nice little simulation, very relaxing to look at. I'm not sure whether the food sources deplete or not, because at some point, the ants just started pathing over them. It's always nice to see a fellow ant enjoyer though ^^. Great job!
Nice simulation. I remember playing Sim Ant when I was int middle school. There's something enjoyable about watching ants. Good job!
I'm really into this. Watching the ants gradually chip away at the apples is incredibly satisfying. It would be cool to have a way to remove pheromone trails to experiment with pathing, or have them expire over time. That being said, this is nice vibes. Great submission!
It's really cool to see these little ants following one after the other.
What's also really cool is that you can modify the level by modifying the `img/level.png` file (even if it's maybe not done on purpose). I started to make a maze for the ants but I went a little too far in the modding...

I really enjoyed this. Would have loved for there to be a competing colony and bigger map (obviously hard to do in a jam). Digging a tunnel straight through an apple is for some reason hilarious.
There's gotta be food around here somewhere... swarm.png
Good idea to use the jam to implement such a fun simulation! It's quite mesmerizing to watch the ants do their thing, but also fun to be able to lead them to another path :)
@valmontechno LOL I love it!
