Ant War by Nordtraveller

[raw]
made by Nordtraveller for LD 38 (JAM)

It`s a game about ants. They live to collect food and aphids. If there are enough resources in anthill, another ant can leave its home. Our insects are xenophobic, so they kill ants with different skin color. You win when you destroy red ants' anthill. Hold left mouse button and drag to select units, right to give orders. You can move camera with arrows. Press space to spawn new ants.

BTW. Red ants don't like strangers too.

Even if somehow short, the game is a solid entry. Good concept and enjoyable graphics. Good job!

I like the selection and movement, couldn't get them to drop things off reliably though.

My first playthrough the opposing ants attacked immediately, and we somehow killed each other and had no ants left on either side. My second playthrough the opposing ants attacked immediately again and I managed to kill them first, after which I could just attack the other anthill unopposed and destroy it. Needs some more depth, or at least enemies that don't just attack immediately at the start.

I hate those motherfockin' red ants! All red ants must DIEE!!... Excuse me...I lost my train of thought. I enjoyed your game very much, as a strategy fun it always great to see new strategy games, despite the death of the genre. Maybe adding the waypoint for each of yours ants make the game better as well as better AI)

Quite an interesting little game. The title screen is particularly pretty.

The idea is super good, and it was okay fun to play. I would have liked a bit more to do, and some better AI. But overall a fine LD game. Well done.
