How do I get the matter and food to actually let me use it? The bugs just drop them everywhere..
Reviews for "We're not ants !"

Hello !
This shouldn't have happened, the bug is fixed now.
There is a bug in some browsers where the larve pick up food but don't deliver it to the main green thing. They then go back and pick up more stuff, sometimes ending up carrying many things but never depositing them.
Should you return to the main menu and go back to the game, they will drop their hold anywhere.
I played it in another browser and it worked.
The browser which didn't work, for info, is Chrome.
plopix responds:
Thank you for your report, it was useful for fixing this bug.
In addition to the new bug of not delivering resources, there is also a bug that appears at least with Mozilla. After picking up a resource a ghost resource of either food or matter appear somewhere on screen and float around, likewise if you exit these ghost resources remain on screen as if they were dropped but cannot be touched. Great game otherwise.
plopix responds:
I could not reproduce this bug, but I guess it was a consequence of the other bug. Let me now if you this happens to you again.
Edit: found it! And it was pretty funny: Sometimes workers where stealing the resource icons in the menu and bringing back home.
And as the icons are not bounded to the view it appeared to float while you moved the view.
Hello there,
Its my first time to write a review but I felt like I should write one for this game. First of al its a nice game, simple and good ,I liked the idea but with some bugs that need to be fixed. I started playing 2 days ago this game and today I found a bug : After unlocking the skill for "attacking enemies with pheromone cloud" my bugs would attack dead enemies after using the cloud. I was going to give the game low rating because of this since it was almost impossible for me to lead my "bug army" but after a few hours BOOM! It was fixed because of the new update! Thanks developer! 4 stars!
Though I wont give yet 5 stars because there are some more bugs (not ants):
A) Sometimes (90%) when my bugs collect meat from the dead enemies they lose their way and dont know where to drop them.So they just continue messing around
B)In Dungeon 2, hole 2 the mushrooms cannot be collected
C)In Dungeon 2, hole 3 : 1) After I entered the hole and killed the enemies, every time I enter again most of the enemies are dead (this happens in hole 2 too). 2) Zombies??--> Dead enemy bugs are trying to move while they are dead and sometimes they kill my small worker-bugs. 3) My worker-bugs cant collect matterials from the dead enemies in this hole.
I cant remember anything else for now. If I find any bug I will report it.
Congrats again for the game and continue your amazing work!
-PS: If you want more info about the bugs I mentioned above you can pm me

THank you. I've been chasing some of these bugs for a few days, and you're giving some very interesting clues (esp details about where and when it happened). I guess they should be fixed soon now.
These larva games keep getting better with every iteration.
I really love the concept of a mix of idle and strategy games, it's actually something I thought about for when I started making games, hope you don't mind if I use the designation of STS.
I've spent many hours already on this game and expect to spend many more.
Keep up the good work.
Two bugs I encountered:
With the present version (1.7) the game stopped saving for me... My save was gone when it loaded the new version and I decided to start over but it was gone again when I came back.
On one of the previous versions (I think it was when you added x10 checkbox on hunting grounds) the game gave me twenty imagos when I entered a hunting ground even though my maximum at the time was three so for the remainder of that playthrough I had 20/3 imagos.
plopix responds:
Hello.
Yes please fell free to use the STS designation, let's promote the genre and make something of it!
I believe there is a true lack of games like that, like strategy games that are not frantic and clickfests, and God Games. There is a real gap between fast-paced strategy games, and idle games with no real world, no real graphics and interaction, that has not really been filled yet.
About the saving bug, that is strange, can you confirm me that you still have this issue ? I tried on three different browsers, and I see no problems. Do you have cookies disabled ?
About the other bug, that was totally my mistake, I made tests in a level and added 20 imagos on it, and I forgot to remove them when I uploaded the new version. This version was online for something like 5 minutes, but I guessed you started playing right at that moment.
Sorry for that. Here are 20 free imagos to try to be forgiven. :)
