The Story:

Your Queen has found a great place for the new colony. Lots of food for us to eat, however, there is one problem. The Spiders. It's our job to feed our queen in order for her to birth more ants and have our colony Thrive. 

Features:

• Base and attribute upgrades
• Take control of spawned ants after death
• Two different ending scenes
• Play with Keyboard or Controller

How to Play:

The controls are easy  W,A,S,D to move around and SPACEBAR to attack. you can find food all over the over world, and even kill passive beetles to find more. Be careful though as there are 5 hungry spiders patrolling the land. When you have at least 2 food you can feed it to your queen by touching her and voila, a new ant will be born. If you die while in the overworld you will spawn as one of the ants in the colony. 

Objective:

To win you need to spawn 75 ants or kill all the spiders. It may seem daunting at first but remember these spiders can't heal and there is only 5 of them and many of you.  

Known Issues:

Warning:! This is my first completed project, made for the Gamedev.tv GameJam 2025, and I bit off a bit more than I could chew with my experience so I did use ChatGPT to help me with some of my broken code that wasn't working. I also used it for a few assets. Trash can, Tire and The victory/gameover/title scene. 

There are a few known bugs (other than the ants and spiders) that I haven't figured out how to fix yet and the Jam is due so here they are:

May 27th Update: 

found and fixed a few bugs today. Should be a better experience hopefully. 

• Spider Chase music doesn't start sometimes. 
• Spiders walk over collision objects
• Ants appear on top during base upgrade animation
• Ants not saving/spawning properly in base after the first upgrade
• Spider attack hit box seems to still be active during the die animation. Or attack animation partially plays if prompted to attack while in the middle of the animation.  Should be fixed but was hard to test.
• Probably many more that I haven't found
