Also the inventory for the ants was confusing to figure out, and trying to click on things at the bottom and having it mess up where my view was was frustrating. -- Very cool entry overall though. \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffb\ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffb","likes":4,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"curtamyth","author_uid":"1013255","time":"2020-04-21T09:59:45Z","epoch":1587463185,"modified":1587463185,"text":"Great entry!

Impressive work on the smoothness of the gameplay and the amount of content that you managed to put for the jam. Base building, upgrades, wave progression. I also got impressed by the AI of the ants, they work surprisingly well and balanced. When I saw \"a big wave is coming\" (or something like that) I thought it would be instant game over due to unbalance and dumb AI, but it was quite the opposite, the ants managed very well, that's when the game surprised me.\n\nAlso points for being a Godot game (I also used Godot, the engine of my :heart: ).
