Played through! Interesting premise, mapping that kind of elegiac apocalyptic Lovecraftian vibe onto a patch of earth that's hosted countless ant colonies. Nice dark atmosphere reminded me a bit of old rpgmaker stuff that did a lot with a little.
Minor criticisms/feedback: near the end, the "snap" camera scrolling from one tile to the next made me start to feel a little dizzy once I was moving the ant around very quickly. Perhaps smooth camera scrolling from one tile to the next would feel slightly better? Also my fingers started to get tired with all the tapping on WASD, had to switch to the other hand a few times lol.
As the guy above me said, maybe it could use some sort of enemy? When I was playing, I was wary about planting any seeds near a spider den, because I half expected that spiders might become a threat at some point or steal the seeds. Maybe spider dens could be an actual threat like that if this was expanded into a full game? It'd give reason to be careful where you put your seeds, as they could attract predators as well who would aggro and chase after you if you got too close.
But yeah, overall was a nice experience. Thanks for sharing! I wonder what mysteries await the lonely ant beyond the tunnel?
