Thank you! Yeah today we have many children playing, and they seem to like the game :)

If you dm me your email, I can put you on our beta test list. That way we can contact you when our test version is ready

Thank you! Yes we're working on a demo atm :) we still need to implement some core mechanics, but it should be out in a couple of months

Added new units: spiders are hungry for your ants!

We made a new batch of bug stickers to promote our game!

The spider in detail:

Working on enemy units: the jumping spider's legs are procedurally generated

I finally beat #sephiria and I can tell that the game is 10/10 anime plot twists.

Literally 5-6 "true" endings one after another.
All in all, one of the best #roguelike games I've played so far ;3

For now, once all insects have been broken down into chitin, they don't do anything. There will only be a new storage if the player places one...

A new game mechanic: each room now has a capacity of how many units can be trained there. Assign more workers to increase the capacity!

A comparison of a room in an antncolony with a different amount of workers in it

It's still in testing but probably it won't just be a simple addition of speed. I think it makes sense that each additional ant adds a bit less to the overall speed

@wietracksoftwork.bsky.socialSep 23, 2026, 3:42 PM

Thank you! Yes we are experimenting with pheromone trails and different castes that synergize :)

@wietracksoftwork.bsky.socialSep 23, 2026, 3:29 PM

Thank you! We also want it to have a mechanical impact, so workers will be faster & safer from predators this way

@wietracksoftwork.bsky.socialSep 23, 2026, 2:53 PM

A new mechanic: workers now cooperate in bringing home prey!
