Awesome! Tried a few missions, thought it was pretty cool!

It definitely plays more like an RTS than an almost hands-off ant colony simulator, but it's totally neat. Ant games are awesome!

Are you considering working on the game again aside from the patch you released?

No I don't plan to update it further, though there is a "superweapons" custom game mode I should complete, as I recall getting it almost finished. But I am pretty distracted with other projects so I won't be picking that up anytime soon. Sorry ;/

I do wish to someday get the time to do the sequel or a mobile game - but life gets in the way

Yes it is intended as an RTS, not a Sim, the only "sim" aspects to it are that it is based upon real ant species and their actual natural abilities, and the fact that your ants can "stray" from their orders during combat and get too preoccupied to listen to you (unlike most RTS which usually give absolute control)

I'm glad the game is well received, Thanks guys :)

Looks like I missed the dev returning. Serves me right for not checking all my threads intensively enough I suppose.

If you're still around Phill, are you working on anything else at the moment or was AntRush all you planned on making?

For anyone still looking at this years later, I put an unlocked copy of the game up on my blog (I'm the dev)

Or if that's down, direct link to the download

@Graknorke
Yes thanks for asking, though I'm primarily making virtual reality games now, for HTCVive, Rift and PSVR :)
Though I didn't make any games for many years inbetween AntRush and when VR became viable
My current vr titles are: "Hold My Beer" and "Defense of Castle Chilly", and I have several more scheduled
