Description
A mix between strategy, semi-idle and virtual pet, think of it as a "Slow Time Strategy" game !
Manage your larva colony, upgrade it, take care of it, watch it evolve, and defeat higher and higher waves of ennemies at a peaceful pace.
How to Play
CONTROLS:
- Use the mouse to select menus, and click on a larva to watch its stats.
Shortcuts (provided you have the money to buy them):
- SPACE: buy pheromones
- B: buy bush
INSTRUCTIONS:
Plant fruit bushes to feed your larvae, make them grow and gain more food.
Build nests to increase your max population (you have to upgrade them to build more).
Larvae will defend nests from ennemies if they are nearby.
Attract your larvae near points of interests (food, ennemies) with a pheromone cloud.
Set a difficulty level for waves, and call ennemies in to get much food.
Upgrade your colony to reach the highest wave, and to grow the biggest larvae.
Try to be in the leaderboard !
Developer Updates
Big optimization update. Physical engine has been changed for a lighter one.
A big difference should be felt when displaying many larvae (or ants).
For this reason, max number of larvae has been raised (from 20 to 50, and ants to 30).
Feedback on performances and probable bugs due to these changes is welcome !

Would it be possible for someone to list all the specials here? I clicked the first one without reading it, and have no idea what it does now. T_T
Unlocked specials are now displayed near the button to buy them.

can you make it so that larvas move through nests? they kind of get stuck on them if you put the next to each other
Thank you for your feedback Alumica. You are right, there is nothing against it, I will change this in the next build.

Hello jstace. Thanks for playing.
You are right, larvae are like lemmings, and roam aimlessly. THey do not track ennemies, nor food.
You have to attract them with pheromones.
And you are right, I will add some hot key for that.

Larva shouldn't crawl away just before eating an ant or something.
What about a perception range?
From now on, larvae will defend nests if they are nearby.

Just got the update info and started putting out nests and such... only to notice right from the start that it is now VERY laggy, even before I reached 32 larvae and nests. T_T
Hello. Do you mean that you are having a worse framerate than before the update ?
