I wish there were clearer instructions in the beginning but I managed to figure it out. I liked how you drag pheromones to the resources to get the ants to pick it up.

I was confused a little bit on what each of the trails do (and I still don't know) but I did fight with some worms and spiders. The graphics are cute, and I like the trail drawing feature.
