Save the Queen by Purebe
Co-developed by @Aloki, Art by @Exley

Tower defense game where you have to dig dirt to build towers. Press B to build towers (or click the button), left click to move your ant around and build towers to stop the enemy ants from attacking your queen!

You get more resources to build towers with by digging dirt blocks, but be careful not to expose a new path for enemy ants to use!
Controls
- Zoom in/out using the mouse wheel or the +/- keys
- Move the camera with edge panning, middle mouse click to drag, or WASD/arrow keys
- Click the build icon (or press B) to build a tower, and left click again to place the tower (you can't place towers too closely to other towers or to ants)
- Right click cancels building a tower
- Left click moves your ant around, and left clicking on a dirt block will cause your ant to walk up and dig the dirt block, giving you the resources found in the dirt block

- I love the concept of sacrificing earth to get resources to build, there's a lot to do with this concept
- web game
Improvements:
- sound
- music
- bigger fonts for readability
Bugs:
- mouse clicks are mishandled somehow and towers were just being dropped in random locations along my mouse's path rather than in the spot I wanted them
One thing I would suggest is that adding some sort of glow around the queen/player could help identify it in a crowd (especially for colorblind players such as myself). A mechanic where the queen moves might help with base design too!
but turets are spawning in random locations:?
and the game algs every time i destroy a cube
