I don't think one can do too much better. Sub 1:40 is probably possible, but not sure.
Fun little bite sized game. I enjoyed it!

Nice chill game! It was fun to watch the ants do things on their own.
Soothing music too.
I think I would have liked a bit more understanding of the interplay between the various factors. Do I need to dig the nest before the eggs can grow? That's what is seemed like. Do I need food before my eggs can become ants? That is what I guessed, so I set the slider to forage, but I couldn't actually tell for sure.
I think that the food resource in particular could be expanded on just a little bit--essentially, make the ants unable to do the other tasks if the food isn't kept stocked. (Maybe this is how it works--I don't know :sweat_smile: )
On the graphics: I enjoyed the particle effects. I think that the holes being dug would be better if they were, maybe, expanding circles/ovals? The chopped-off ovals seem a bit unpolished.
Anyways, here's my scores (the clipboard button doesn't seem to work):
