Hive Mind (Updated)

What does it feel like to be an ant? How about a whole colony?

Manage your resources, explore the forest, and snack on some leaves. Just watch out for those beetles! Or maybe build an army strong enough to fight back...

This is an updated version of my submission for Ludum Dare 56. Features added after the jam currently include:

• Pathfinding for ants
• Pathfinding for beetles (they can no longer climb over logs)
• Tracker for days survived and largest colony
• Ring around selected ant
• Big leaves that require two ants to carry but give 3x as much food (these start to appear after day 6)
• Balance changes to dynamically update difficulty as more days pass
  

Stay posted for more updates & features to be added soon!
