I think you may have a virus or trojan...

No I don't think that's it. This laptop is my highschool's. They gave laptops to everyone at our school this year. I think it just has weird options set or something.

Well, I think your game is cute, kind of a Where's My Water game. I could see my daughter playing this a bit or me playing with her actually since I'm the ant nut in the family.  Visually though, i personally don't like the personification of the ants with the human eyes and such.  I'd like the game to be a bit more dangerous too.  One thing that is popular in games right now like crossy road is an impetus to make faster decisions, perhaps you could have the ants escaping freezing cold in the form of an freezing process moving slowly from the top of the screen to the bottom.  I also think you could choose what type of ant you want by species and that would define its fighting style, along the way your ant can encounter various enemies too that have to be vanquished with their species skills.  Might be too much of a diversion from your concept, but you could make those "special rounds" or something which would break up the monotony of solving puzzles through reshaping landscape and catching pupae.  Good luck!

Good luck! Hope you earn enough to make an ant colony game in the future.

Doing an ant colony game is tough...so many variables keep popping up that I wasn't considering.

I completely agree with this. Even cute puzzle-ish games should have some of the adventure genre mixed in, especially on mobile in my opinion.

I'm no expert programmer, but I imagine it will be tough. Keep trying!

What language are you using? Maybe I could help you out?
