The game The Flow Below was created by me for SpeedJam #8. The game involves generating and controlling the flow of ants to gather resources, fight, and avoid obstacles.

Objective:

Level up the queen ant to level 5 by spending gold.

Gameplay Information:

There are three types of ants:

• Green ants collect food. Guide them to the surface to gather food and to the food storage to deposit it.
• Blue ants gather gold. Guide them to the horizontal exits inside the anthill to collect gold and to the gold deposit to store it.
• Red ants fight invading beetles. Guide the red ants to them.
• Generate common ants by clicking on the queen's square.
• Guide ants by clicking on the nodes.
• Train ants by clicking on the training field to transform green ants into blue or red ants. The training field must contain green ants to train them.
• The laboratory unlocks upgrades in exchange for gold.

Obstacles:

From time to time, events occur:

• Rain: If ants go to the surface, they die.
• Worms: Cannot be defeated by any ant and devour ants.
• Beetles: They can be defeated when in contact with red ants.
• The obstacles have a fixed time to appear and do not depend on RNG.

Controls:

• Press Esc to close the screens.
• Press the left mouse button to select things.

I hope you enjoy it!
