Bugs Planet by Cyboot
My first Game for Ludumdare, FUN :)
I created it in less than 24 hours because of some time issues, (one of my cousins got married this weekend ;))
Goal: rule the Planet (with your Bug population)
Theme: guess :P
Programming language: Java
Uses Programs: Eclipse, GIMP
Edit:
uploaded a timelapse, unfortunatly i only captured some parts in the end

Fun: 4/5 - Strangely satisfying to eliminate an entire race. Perhaps I should seek help.
Theme: 3/5 - Sure, the world is tiny, but this is more "Tiny" than "World".
Graphics: 3/5 - They get the job done, and are clear and concise. Not pretty, though, with more time it could have been polished.
Audio: N/A - On a machine without audio, so will not rate.
Humor: N/A - Didn't see any attempts at humor, therefore not rating.
Mood: 2/5 - The robotic movement is vaguely immersion-breaking.
@all: Thanks for all your responses, i really appreciate it :)
It't funny to see that most of you say its rather too difficult than too easy. I always thought it was too easy, but thats of course because i played it all the time while i develop it :D
And a good balancing in 48 hours (or in my case 24 hours) is almost impossible.
I also uploaded a timelapse, unfortunatly i forgot to start it in the beginning, so its only some parts of the whole time. Hope you enjoy it anyways.
One problem I did have, the first time I played there ended up being sooo many bugs on the screen, and not many flowers. I feel like if the other bugs get the upper hand, they should try to destroy your nest, or something along those lines. I.e., a losing condition if you don't make enough headway against the other colonies. As it was I just had to restart the game.
The other thing is it's sometimes hard to spot your own bug when you first (re) spawn.
But, whatever. This was cool and fun!
Really really fun!
You should make a new one with some more "action" and it will be a super cool game :-)
