Very cool! Surprising you were able to get mechanics of this complexity up and running for a jam game - pathing, unit selection, and everything! Like the mechanic of having to send in your workers first, then using the queen to finish the job. Couldn't get too far with the limited apples - but a great concept nonetheless. Nice!

Hey, great job! Very well implemented controls for a troop management game. Sending your army of ants around is quite satisfying. I did find a way to cheese the game though, by placing all your ants directly in front of the spider nest, so they will immediately kill spiders when they spawn and the queen can roam around freely. No worries though, it still was a lot of fun :)
