Tiny Wars

GAME ARE VERY NICE!

The Wars might be Tiny, yet they're still rather challenging!

I managed to win at my first try, and I played the game some more times as well. Each time, the foe's insects cornered me and I barely managed not to let them invade my nest (thanks, bulky beetles

Very nice tug of war style game! Simple but effective design, not immediately obvious which strategy works best (ended up swarming the opponent with tiny ants in the end, very funny)

I enjoyed the quick gameplay! Consider expanding it with deckbuilding and different bug properties.

Nice minimalistic game!

It was neat experimenting with massing different types of bugs to see how they did (large swarms of ants did surprisingly well). I couldn't tell what increased the rate I gained resources, was that connected to the number of bugs you had out on the field?

Thank you everyone for playing!

@sudocoffee I had to increase the rate of the gained resources in time because also the enemy had a gain in spawn rate. I think I will put a new unit in the future where bees(?) help you make more resources :smiley:

Good job ziobob!

Pretty cool game, wish there was more of it. :)
It was pretty cool when I realized that I can spawn a bunch of small ants and they are strong together. Later I saw that it says the same thing in the description. :D Nice game design, keep it going! :)

Cool! Really wish to see more of your ideas added in the future!

Thank you all! I will let you know

Very fun project, I can see a lot of potential to build upon! I've played my fair share of rounds and won with many different strategies (though the ant stampede is one of the funniest). Some more variety or build-ups could be key to a more replayable experience but as far as the project goes it's very fun and solid.

Very nice job, and good luck!!

interesting, would like to see the next version with sound and some more features. for example seeing the overall health and health of the animals would be nice. maybe some insects can jump or dig below. multiple lanes.

I really liked the counter system. On my second play I tried to win by just making ants as an experiment, but then one spider ate them all! So I had to make some beatles to survive.

I really enjoyed this game! Awesome game play and mechanics!

Pretty good, I enjoy auto battlers!

The biggest piece of advice I could give you though is to polish your game: add sound effects, make the combat very impactful with effects, stuff like that. For now the game feels a little bit "empty", looks more like a prototype than a complete game. Also I think some job could be made to make the game clearer to a new player: show the cost of an insect to the player, add a text "Buy" or something to convey the mechanics, etc. My last suggestion is to add a few more graphical assets to make it look less empty and also to keep a constant pixel size for your pixel art games (but that's a personal preference, some like it the way you did).

Anyway, great potential, but yeah game feel/polish is everything in my opinion, I'm sure you can take your game to the next level with a few simple tricks!

Good job! minimalistic but fun :]

bot seems to have fewer resources, easy win?
on the other hand mine is the opposite :D

Yay I did it! Cool little game.

Cool! The graphics were great, and there was some strategic depth, mostly with timing. I like the use of the keyboard so that I didn't have to worry about precise mouse clicks.

pretty nice graphics! at the end of game, i just spammed spider to obliterate them! :sweat_smile:

ahah thank you all for playing and feedbacks! :smile:

I did it, I conquered the enemy base as well! I went full ant mode near the end, it was quite the sight to behold the full line moving towards victory. Whenever the enemy spawned a spider, the ranks were pushed back significantly, but I still managed to hold out and zerg rush them. Felt super good! I liked the design of the different types, I liked how it focused on the numbers/power tradeoff, but in a way it didn't feel like all would be lost if you save up for one big unit if that makes sense. I felt the pace was nice and fast in the game, the front line moving forward and backward, making this super engaging all the way through. Great job with the design on that! Cool game, very well done!
