Funny game! Controls were a bit confusing with switching between the modes and also seeing arrows everywhere. I feel like normal RTS controls with dragging over units would potentially feel better (just a suggestion!). I'm also not quite sure if this game fits the theme all to well. Cool game anyway!

I Liked the idea good job!

Incredible game, and it was only made by 1 person?! Your game is underrated, more people should play your game!

Very unique and interesting idea. Well done :D

First off.... how do you manage to do so much as a single dev? That's quite impressive. 

The core loop is very strong and it was very clever to break the routine with random attacks , the visual feed is very good, and I think is intuitive enough to recode the interface and actions so when you hit the enemy it understands that attack is the command to execute. 

You can break it into smaller sizes for levels and add new difficulties like water you need to evade, or add a bit of RTS with buildings that can defend you while you get more ants.

Real cute game, nice colonisation game

Managing an ant colony using vector-field brush paths is such a brilliant, clever mechanic for an RTS—it brings back serious Pikmin nostalgia while carving out its own identity! For a solo dev project, the core technical loop, cute pixel ants, and addicting progression are super impressive.

A few tweaks to consider when you optimize post-jam:

- Tutorial & UI: Break down the opening tutorial pictures into step-by-step interactive pop-ups so players aren't overwhelmed with text all at once.

- Combat Clarity & Feedback: Add clear damage numbers, health bars, or hit-reaction animations when ants switch to attack mode so it's obvious the human boss is taking damage.

- Performance & Pathing: Cap maximum ant spawns (or pool objects) to prevent lag/FPS drops, and smooth out the separation forces so ants don't get stuck in tight corners.

Massive potential here for an expanded version! If you have a minute, we'd love to hear your thoughts on our jam project as well: /jam/brackeys-16/rate/4953523

The ants are so cute! Such a fun game!

So cute! Idk if it bugget to me; when the human appeared I tried to change the mode to attack but that did nothing to him.

I liked the idea tho, I like bugs and ants a I find it really cool to manage an antnest :)

Great job on that game, really enjoyed that ants idea, reminding me of pikmin somehow haha, it also matchwell the theme, congrats to you by doing that alone !!!

 This was fun, addictive, and never has a game had me siding with ants ever. The balancing was very much in my favor - I was able to get OP really fast, but it works in a jam where we're playing tons of games and lowering the difficulty really helps. I liked the pathing you created with the brush, and how you added a kill button (knowing ants can get stuck in corners). It’s a simple solution to what I'm assuming was an annoying bug for you. Nice job, great entry!

Great game! I accidentally went overboard with spawning stuff which made the game really laggy, but up until then I was having a great time!

Great game! Can't believe this was made by 1 person. 

Really fun game! I only wish having higher numbers of ants were plausible without my pc catching on fire! Really great job for a solo dev!

A great game—I really loved it. The concept was nice. Great job! It needs a little polishing keep it up.

Honestly the game is good but needs a little polishing and optimization.
