You are the scout of your colony. Find food to ensure its survival and grow the colony.

- Walk with left mouse button

- Find food pick it up with left mouse button and bring it back to the nest.

- If you collect enough food you can recruit workers (click the button) to collect food from already found sources. You need to bring at least one unit of food from that source back to the nest so it is known by the workers

- You can recruit soldiers (click the button) to hunt down caterpillars

-  Workers and Soldiers need food. If the supply is too low when they are hungry they die. So don't overgrow your colony. Soldiers need more food than workers.

- Goal of the game is to collect enough food to start the ants mating cycle.

Hey, that's a pretty cool idea. I think the colliders are a bit small which makes the food hard to take, but good game after all... GG

Thank you for playing. Yes the food pickup can be a bit too finicky sometimes.
