Everything Shall Be Ours by BlueMirror

[raw]
made by BlueMirror for Ludum Dare 45 (JAM)

​Made for the 45th Ludum Dare Gamejam Didnt had to much energy/time so I made this alone and kept it simple. Your an ant queen spawning ants constantly. Not walking increases how fast they are spawned. Send them out to get food for you so you can grow stronger. Command your warriors to attack enemy bees or they will kill your army.

Win by collecting 1000 food and then surviving for two minutes.

Thank you for taking your time and playing my game <3

I like the game mechanics and the game is very fun to play! Some better sprites with animations would have been nice but I understand that they are hard to get when you are working alone!

Thank you for making this game! I really enjoyed it!

I did not quite understand the essence of the game. But it looks interesting!

Interesting game, I don't see many pikmin style games, so it was cool to play this. The first bee I encountered kicked my ass and massacred all my ants. Not sure if I should have just waited to generate more or if they're too strong, but it was funny at least.

You should mention holding still will drastically increase the speed of ant production.

Fun to discover and pretty cool graphics, the feel of leading and controls over ants is something interesting and surely can be thorough. Your UI is a little bit merge with the border in non full screenmode, you need to set the pivot to a border pivot, not the middle one.
Congratulation for your entry despite time and energy !

That's a nice concept.

@boats thank you for realizing its pikmin like :) Yes the bees are super strong because they ehm, essentially last minute I accidently added a bug, that makes em op. Didnt realize until after the time. So yes, one sadly needs to farm a bit before challenging them. Best way to beat them is wait for their charge, then send your warriors on it and let them kill the bee.

I like your game. It's a cool idea and feels responsive. It is also not too easy nor to hard. However I would have liked to be able to adjust the rate at which my ants spawn: more warriors, less workers (as you can probably tell from the picture).
Overall a fun and good game.

Cool mechanics, I like how your army grows while collecting food. At the beggining is a bit slow, but later when you reach to the enemies it becomes really fun and challenging, a single enemy can kill all your army at once XD

@solnak I didnt know about the pivot, thank you for the advice and your kind words!

@mosaic it looks like you entered the wrong neighbourhood XD That picture is perfect XD
Adjusting would be really good indeed! Now that Im thinking about it, moving could make spawn warriors faster, while ants spawn slower. So that you decide what to spawn more. Would have been simple but I didnt had the idea :) Thank you for the suggestion!

I love the concept! Your game is well polished, and plays smoothly. My only qualm is the lack of impact your game has when you do something. It's hard to know if a wasp has killed one of your ants, or if your ants have finished collecting from a strawberry. A little screen shake and particles can go a long way :D
Other then that, I enjoyed playing your game. Keep up the good work!

I love the idea, fits the theme very well! If you find one of the bees early in the game you are pretty much doomed :D
