Awesome entry! I love all the fun sfx and the cute art. It's pretty fun slowly building up a big army of tiny creatures.
Some UX feedback would be to stop the camera panning on the lower sections of the screen when clicking through the different actions.
Some of the actions could also be explained a bit better, i still wasn't quiet sure what some things were doing by the end of my play through.
Overall great job.

I liked it, and I loved the graphics and sound. But I was confused about what things actually did.

Funny uncontrollable minibots with cool voice acting! I couldn't handle them, too difficult.

The assets in this game are quite charming, with a delightful design. The monotone color palette adds a unique touch to the experience.

I truly enjoyed the sounds made with the mouth as well

Ok, it look and sounds great, but I'm so confused: I have no idea what is happening or how I "capture evil base" (Which base is evil? Which guys am I even controlling?) Do those icons/controls on the screen do anything? It does not seem obvious if anything is happening when I click them... The instructions say "select a target and an action" - but I have no idea what a target or an action is... are they related to the icons? Are "targets and actions" just the friends we made along the way?

There's also a red or yellow dot under my cursor... is that important? And the camera scroll side-to-side when I try to click the icons? Is that important?! I need more information!
