Try to make it more responsive next time? Cant tell if my clicks are registering most of the time. Should also give some kind of feedback for when stuff CANNOT be done due to cost and/or population.
Nice concept, really fun especially because it runs without background lmao.
The most hilarious game I played :)
In the end it was a bit of a mess as the difficulty spikes too fast, but kinda adds to the Virus-vibe this game seems to be going for.

So you are constantly fighting between defending your queen and needing to summon more ants.
IMO I would suggest one of these options, in order of impl difficulty
1) You have HOTkeys 1,2,3 for the summon ant and convert to worker and fighter ants, so you don't have to redirect the ants away from the battle just to summon more of them.
2) The fighter ants are autonomous just like the worker ants and will track down and kill enemies, themselves. Maybe you are able to set a priority for the enemy types/vs distance?
3) Ants are spawned automatically as soon as you have enough resources, or upto a maximum.
Again. The concept is great, but is greatly hampered by the over reliance on mouse UI
