Ants Ants Ants!
The Black Queen is under heavy attack, defend her at all cost!
Every 10 seconds an ant spawns, choose between a worker, scout or warrior ant to protect your queen and find food.
Each Ant needs food to survive which is paid during the upkeep (also every 10 seconds). If you cannot pay the upkeep cost, the queen slowly dies.
Upgrade your ants to gain an advantage in combat but make sure you save enough food to pay the upkeep.
Can you defeat all 10 waves and the Red Queen herself?

this game is so difficult but so cool...
Thanks for the comment! If you need any pointers on how to beat it, let me know ;)
Hi!! I definitely need some… I keep running out of food.
Alright, so you want to have a good economy to sustain your ants, so try to make about 2-3 worker ants at the start, then start building a couple warrior ants (5-6) to defeat the red ant guards defending most food piles. Don't make too many warrior ants since they will eventually eat all food and then your queen dies. It is okay to send ants into their death to keep the upkeep low. Finally the game is designed in such a way that you can choose between various strategies (mass workers with upgrades, mass scouts with the range upgrade or some workers/warriors or a mix). Mass workers goes a long way but is eventually really difficult to pull off versus the beetle with splash damage. Mass warriors will lead to a queen death eventually unless you keep raiding food piles a lot. Mass scouts is really good but you need to get to a critical mass which requires some micromanagement.
In order to beat the waves you need to study the enemies closely, each enemy has a specific way of defeating it (I won't spoil how the enemies work, you have to find this out yourself ;)
Thank you so freaking much!!!!!!!!!!!
I like it. I think you should add a restart button and make it so one can deselect units with a simple click (instead of drag click). Also clicking on a unit should select only that unit instead of adding it to the selection.
It would be cool to have some option to have all new workers gather food automatically after spawn.
Thanks for the comment! You can deselect a single unit with Shift + click, but it is a bit off if you want to just use the mouse. If you click a single unit it is selected, but if you click the same type of unit within 0.5 seconds it selects all units of that type.
