Thanks for the video!It was great to watch you play and hear the feedback.
The conditions for the game jam were that it had to involve freezing and there had to be a whistle😂 that's really the only reason the whistle is there (I think the freezing pushed the game in an interesting direction, though). Originally the whistle was a way to call and direct the scouts, but I had a couple people who try it who never bought the scouts, so I made it more general.
Regular ants used to also have much shorter distance and the distance upgrades *only* affected the scouts, so they were much more important to gameplay, but if you didn't buy the upgrade it was easy to just get stuck with no food. I kinda ran out of time to balance things, but I do plan on releasing some improvements once the jam judging period is over!

In the post-Jam version, game pace is awkward -- the scout/food upgrades are so expensive that player must save every bit for it.
Really cool.
Whistle doesn't do anything in late game.
cute and interesting with a bit more polish could really be great
Loved it, great game, but once I got past maybe 75 ants i got a lot of lag
Impressive stuff
Very nice work for a game jam game.
Some gameplay, a little critique ;)

Please do, some interesting bones here would be nice to see where you go with it :)
Great job!
