The "level" determines the rate of success for the ants doing actions, they wont always succeed first time

Ahh, I had never heard of simant before now, just looked it up. Yeah i'll post more of an explanation soon, turns out its not as straightforward to understand as I thought it might be
Sorry! yes, cant place blocks was a bug! uploaded the fix now, same download link
Funny you should mention the controlling thing. If I had had time the next feature would have been multiple selection, I still may do it as a later release not for LD, we will see.
Thanks for the errors, will look into getting it running on linux in the next few days (need a test machine).
At the moment you can only target other ants, didnt have enough time to also add land targets. sorry :/
You need to be quite patient, its not meant as a quick thing, when the actions happened faster it soon got out of control. Its still a game really. And well, as I said in an earlier comment I didnt have time to do multiselection.
Why is it people keep saying that? they dig fine (and better still when they have a target, ive even tested reproduction and fighting and for me it all works...)
Thanks, looking into it, I also use Win7 64 bit but will try find the cause.
Originally it had separate controls for capturing and shooting, I guess it was a mistake to change that. Sound can also be muted if its too annoying with the M key!
34 is good! Have to say i wanted to make it a challenge. very hard to get the difficulty right so that people dont end up with too much time!
Last time I checked it was using a custom icon? :P thanks for the advice though!
black background with a K in white, just checked, seems to work fine here :o
Thanks for the advice and praise as usual! I'll try my best to replicate the crash so I can fix it but I havn't been able to do so yet myself.
@Fenmar, do you have .NET framework 4.5 installed?
Thanks for testing, I'll do a seperate build for Linux then without audio and get it out ASAP
Thanks for the comments. I'd love to know why it crashes for some people and not others, doesnt seem to depend on OS. Might be a graphics thing to do with opengl. who knows :/
Hope i figure it out before my next entry
Might have fixed some of the crash issues.
Originally it had clicking but for people who spammed click they missed the new level screen altogether
Love the game, good to see what you came up with after watching your stream for the last few days.
seems to be... i'm quite amazed it is though
Hehe, yes people seem to get addicted, that was the plan ;) we would have made it harder if there was more time
