So, I’ve submitted now, and its playable. You can survive wave after wave of monsters. I had to post a couple of bug fixes halfway into the submission hour, but hopefully I wont get into too much trouble for that.

The general idea is that you build your ants nest (you get free wood as I had to drop the wood harvesting feature). You can build a larder to collect food, but your ants are not very smart. They will wander off into the ether if you don’t provide them with a pathway of pheromones to follow.

Meanwhile, you are fighting off waves of other bugs coming from the top. Sadly I was only able to add termites and spiders, I had planned wasps as well but ran out of time. To defend against this you must build sentry holes, and spawn soldier ants from them. These guys will patrol near the sentry hole, and when they see an enemy, they will attack it, and then return to the sentry hole. This way, provided you can produce enough food to keep up, you can hold back the endless stream of monsters from the north.
