I also really like the UI, everything seems clear, the cooldowns, the path of the ants in the air, the camera moving to get closer or not. Congrats!
The idea was awesome - and executed well. You crushed it!
I also wandered off the map in the beginning, and looking at the minimap I as wondering, where am I supposed to go? :sweat_smile:
