Hive Mind (Post-Jam)

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
  
• Click & drag to select multiple ants

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