I love all the fun sfx and the cute art. It's pretty fun slowly building up a big army of tiny creatures. \nSome UX feedback would be to stop the camera panning on the lower sections of the screen when clicking through the different actions. \nSome of the actions could also be explained a bit better, i still wasn't quiet sure what some things were doing by the end of my play through. \nOverall great job.

Which guys am I even controlling?) Do those icons\/controls on the screen do anything? It does not seem obvious if anything is happening when I click them... The instructions say \"select a target and an action\" - but I have no idea what a target or an action is... are they related to the icons? Are \"targets and actions\" just the friends we made along the way?\n\nThere's also a red or yellow dot under my cursor... is that important?
