You can learn some node-graph algorithms and plan and script all movements, and have tool to add ant upgrades to optimize painting speed by orginizing movement, not by changing speed of single ants

upgrades should be progressive and player should know or have idea what future upgrades will appear, not like seems random on type and price

dev, u have interesting idea, but realization is not that perfect. Like if not all ants used to paint, then at end - not used ants trying to move. ant choosing is seems random, better first choose most fast ants. In some cases waiting for slow ants to return will be worser than sending faster ant to second run. Better to send ants to "waiting" place as soon as they end work, and not making they wait all party. Sold item notify on top of center image is blocking view of doing new painting. And this game need some challenge, its pretty fast show his limit of variability

completed it first time around, went for New Game + and the achievements are broken (completed it again but apparently haven't sold any paintings to get those achievements!)
Good fun game though.

Good fun, but why hide upgrades (more listings, larger paintings) behind the ants? Are the non-ant upgrades always under the highest rank of ant?

Possibly 400 upgrades issue related with random number of ants which in case you get high buys may lead to not enough items in shop. Possibly you could add dummy buy at the end of the shop "ant food" so its possible to reach 400 upgrades

Unfortunately the latest update does not seem to have addressed the bug in the achievement menu: after prestige the various "buy X items from the shop" and "sell X paintings" achievements aren't registered, meaning you're stuck and it's impossible to prestige again because those achievements cannot be unlocked anymore.

By end game, you really don't need Black or Red Ants. They'd need significant buffing to keep up, and not actively slow down the process. Especially with larger paintings, where they prevent it from being listed until all ants are returned to their ball. Something needs to be addressed.

there is no info about who does what. what effect one choice has over another. with no indication about what improvements are happening.... youre just clicking and buying in the blind in the hopes of just improving.

@zetalight, You need to buy all the upgrades, there are only 230 black ants anyway. If you buyed that all, you wont get any black ants upgrade, but only speed updates from there on.
@Rallik, There are enough, just keep buying the upgrades, i just got him ;)

the game looks good, but honestly, there is nothing to do. It is so random, that there is no strategy or nothing to put into this...can't even call that a game. Need choice to make that a game of some sort. So if i unlock a painting size i should be able to select that size. BTW ant color should be use to paint only that color and add upgrade to make each color faster. Good start cuz its pretty but really not aimed to be a game.

I have 5 shop slots unlocked but only have 3 ants left to upgrade so I only use 3 shop slots. Why not fill up the rest of the slots with other upgrades for those 3 ants? So I don't have to spend 100K+ only to then get an upgrade for 64k?

How does the prioritization on speed work? I still have black ants going while purples and blues are staying behind, with only one black ant speed upgrade

A slightly more linear path to upgrades may help. From all I have seen, non-ant/progression upgrades only seem to unlock until a higher-tier unlocks, at which point earlier options become obsolete.

One hell of a memory leak in there somewhere, left it on overnight and came back to the Kong tab using over 1.6Gb of ram. Might be worth looking into

I just finished this version, after a very nice preview into things to come. Definitely love how you can cap out your ants, and how the shop starts shrinking over time. The grind slowed to a halt at 100 orange, but I'll keep checking in.

Achievements aren't registering properly on prestige run. I finished the game the second time, but have 0 of the "sell paintings" trophies. I have every other trophy but none of those, even though I sold literally every painting
