RGBAnts
A downloadable game
At the center of this world lies the MASS, which must expand with your help. Mark tiles to be excavated and your ANTS will bring them to the MASS to help it grow. Pink tiles are EGGS, and will hatch into more ANTS when brough to the MASS. Your ANTS will die after less than a minute, so make sure to keep digging towards more EGGS.
Your final score depends on how big the MASS is. Feed it...
You lose when all your ANTS die.

accidentally lost my screenshot but im preeetty sure i got 292 or 262 on my best run. this is an interesting game, it’s fun to plan out the best routes ahead of time and satisfying to see the ants carry out your plan, as well as to course-correct when they decide to go somewhere else because it’s closer. the rendering style is also really cool with the stacked sprites, i always wanted to do that ever since i watched that youtube video “the day of the dolly-mixture”. honestly the biggest problem was what seemed like a bug to me where the ants would all just become unresponsive until they died (though if i marked a new spot and it was close enough to them then they would go for it). i also don’t know if the ants getting completely stuck when one of their antmates dies in the middle of a tunnel due to a blockage was intentional but it was an issue i had to work around, which is good, though it also led to the aforementioned bug one time. anyways yay awesome thanksssss
