Fun! Took me a while to get a grasp of what all the buttons etc do, but pretty straightforward after you've clicked around for a bit

I had to give the best ratings, because I played your Game way to long. Where went my time? You made a great game!

Overall a fun little clicker with some interesting twists!

A few issues: Some of the important parts of the game are cropped of for me in the web embed on this site :/ The itch page worked better. The music seems to stop looping at some point. It took me a while to figure out how all the UI worked

I agree with the previous comments about adding in some quick tutorial messages,
but overall the gameplay loop felt nice, and I always enjoy wasting time in a clicker. Good work brother!

It was very nice! It got me on the grind! I enjoyed how space repeated whatever you clicked last for maximum spam-age! I wish it was a bit more clear what everything did. Overall nice game!

Great job on the clicker game! 🖱️ I like how you managed to combine so many features in such a short time. The game is really fun and reminds me of the classic Cookie Clicker. 🍪

What I liked:

Design and mechanics: The graphics are cute and the mechanics are varied enough to keep you interested.
Gameplay: It's very easy to get hooked and start clicking, I spent more time than I planned! 😄
Improvements: Interesting improvements that motivate you to keep playing.

Overall, it was fun! 👏👏

I don't think I'm going to like it, but it was REALLY COOL! This clicker surprises with its elaboration, when I saw that the ants come with something on their backs, and then leave without it, I was delighted. Very cool, thanks for playing!

(Sorry i recorded without my cursor most of the time, oops!)

Aww man.. I am so easily hooked by incremental games... or should i say incremANTal? SUPER WELL DONE clicker game. 30 min flew by so fast! Love the music and pixel art, and really well balanced and fun theme. I really wish there was a win condition though!

A few notes from my playthrough: The skills in the upgrade tree that cost 2 or 3 need an indicator, I was confused for a while why I couldn't click them. When you're not in full screen, the UI gets a little bit squished and overlapping.

Overall, really fun :) Great job

Very cute game! I thought the music was a nice addition, even though I'm not very fond of auto-clicker games it made it more interesting to play!

Very chill experience, some things did confuse me though.
For example, when I clicked on one of the expansion pickaxes, it just replaced itself with a new one with 1000 ants required. Truly a metaphor for pointless warfare! A philosophical masterpiece. All jokes aside I very much enjoyed this game, nice graphics, reminds me of the golden era of mobile gaming.
Very well done :)

Good job !
A good clicker where you can spend sooooo many times
Maybe it s just need more indication for the skills which coast more than 1 point
And I didn't notice that we can switch on the menu on the left
But I really enjoyed playing your game
Well done !

Nice idle game. Good balanced & it keeps me for a while!
Graphic looks a little bit messy for me.
Research tree is a great feature for such game.

Love the art and concept of commanding an army around to progress! I love upgrade trees a little too much maybe, but this felt like a very complete game! I played this one a lot more than others to finish it, and if you made upgrades a formula with no end, I'd probably keep playing haha. I love the bones. They don't need to be there, but they are and it adds to the atmosphere.

Really fun game, that fits with the theme well. I wanted to keep playing this for quiet a while. I still didn't really understand the concept of the different ant types, like if i had a a tab open was i spawning that type or was that only for the upgrades? How many of each type did i have? I think this area of the game could have been made a lot clearer. Otherwise it was super fun, great entry.

First of all I love the theme, its such a cute little nest and I love how much life there is to everything! Would be good to make it more obvious what is meant to be clicked, the comment you left helped obviously but would be nice to have it in game somehow. The music is nice too, doesnt get in the way but still adds to the mood. I know its not really the point of these games but I would have loved an end, like 1 million ants and they build a rocket to the moon lol. Maybe not so ridiculous but after I maxed out the tree I was kinda stumped cause it didnt feel over but there wasnt really anything else to do. But overall I liked it, got hooked instantly and had a good time, nice job ^^

Nice clicker! UI is pretty clear, had fun upgrading things~
Would have loved for there to be some sound effects for clicking, and defeating things - the chaos must be heard!

Good job!
