Congratulations, this is a totally playable and enjoyable couch game. We were impressed to discover more mechanics during the session (raiding the nest and  stealing eggs !). There is a small lack of clarity, and it was a bit long to have someone gaining control of the map to reach 200, but the graphics are lovely and the gameplay is amazing.

I downloaded the Windows version and was able to play solo and it's really rather hard!!!\nI lost my first game but by then I understood the mechanics of the game so I replayed.

Fortunately, the game is very self-explanatory once you try it out for a bit. Even with the initial confusion, I managed to win at the end, mostly investing all my resources in creating the biggest ant army ever (lol).
