Antsy

I didn't survive. I thrived :D My food capacity 250 was almost always full, and my primary food source was just enemy insects. I had more aggressive approach, fast and durable ants. There were no piles of honey etc. left, and I had couple farms, but primarly my ants just ate insects. I had army of ants and I wanted to take screenshot of my nest and legion, but just before that error occurred :S

I think I conquered neighborhood on my first attempt :)

It would have been great to have some sounds.

It's a really nice game and maybe I missed something but... it's extremely slow?

On my first try I had like 7 ants and got wiped without realizing it by a praying mantis, after collecting almost everything. Then I tried building an army on my second game but I had too many ants and I was eating as much as I was gathering, with no insect to kill in sight.

Third game I built only 3 ants to gather while making one room of each and... I collected everything and barely had enough to make a second garden. After that I waited and made more gardens / stockpiles but there nothing to do outside and no insect to kill. I made up to 5 and but that didn't change much.

I really don't get it. I didn't get to fight once and I'm not sure why :(

I know it's a jam game and the content will be limited, but it seems like I had a widly different experience from other people.

Really cool game. It's pretty enjoyable trying to gather food and slowly build up the upgrades in your base. I'm not sure if there if there was an end goal but I got to the point where my whole nest was built and the map was cleared of resources. The graphics are are very charming and clear. Some sound would be nice, but I can't complain considering I also made a game without sound.

Ants fascinate me, and I really enjoyed playing this game.

I wiped the map clean of resources, and created a self sustaining farmer ant society. My main feedback would be that the game is too easy, enemy attacks never posed a real challenge in my playthrough. Perhaps rival colonies, more enemy variation, more places to spend your resources. There are many possibilities for a game like this.

Thoroughly enjoyed, well done! :)

This was honestly way more fun than I expected. What bothered me is the pace of the game. I agree that the player should have a chance at the beginning to build up an empire, but later on, attacks should happen more often, and maybe you should even get the chance to go to other colonies, or increase the size of yours to more anthills, or something else. Currently, there's just collecting food and killing intruders, and that feels a bit bland.

I'm hooked, I remember a game like this from my childhood, so I was immediately drawn to it, I really like the simple mechanics and the art. Maybe a score system could have been cool. I really liked it and it would be good to see a continuation of it. Congratulations on the game.

I love this types of games. Reminds me of a childhood PC Game who's name unfortunately slips my mind. I wasn't able to get far because, despite my love for this genre, I'm very bad at it.

Overall the game felt balanced in the start and I found it pretty easy to manage things. I wish the art could have been better executed, but I don't think it takes from the positive experience! Congratulations! x]

I really enjoy this game, though it runs out of content pretty quick. I eventually got to hovering around 200 ants that sustained the colony through hunting/gardening. I would love to see this idea developed further with more systems involved, it's quite enjoyable!

Probably my favourite game of the jam so far. I played until the collony could sustain itself with 50 ants. It's well balanced, and the enemies are a cool addition. I would love to see this expanded upon, or if you have any rts recommendations.

Really love this game, was satisfying to see my army of ants charging after the big bugs.

Did run into an error:

ERROR in action number 1 of Step Event0 for object obj_ant:

Data structure with index does not exist. at gml_Script_marker_direct_ant

stack frame is gml_Script_marker_direct_ant (line -1) gml_Object_obj_ant_Step_0

Nice! Gameplay was smooth and flowy, it didn't end up being laggy at any point. Collecting and spending were well balanced and controlling the game was intuitive.

The game could have had more enemies: it would have brought a bit of needed challenge. Also ending/score and music would have been a good addition.

Nice work! I agree with the below comment about Sim Ant. It reminded me a lot of it, which is a good thing. :D

I really love the art style and the gameplay concepts. I wasn't entirely sure what I was meant to do once my ants finished collecting all the food available, and it would have been nice to have some kind of audio. Other than that, I enjoyed my time with this game.

This took me back to my Sim Ant days. This is a very cool game with alot of detail.
