Mandible Wars: Ants vs Termites

Mandible Wars: Ants vs Termites is a portrait-first RTS-lite about tiny armies fighting over a very large patch of dirt.

Command ants or termites across scrollable grid-based battlefields, scout through fog of war, harvest nectar, build your colony, capture strongpoints, and overwhelm the enemy nest.

The game is designed for quick phone-friendly strategy play while still keeping the feel of a real RTS: squad selection, movement orders, auto-attacks, faction units, defensive structures, resource control, and multiple victory modes.

Current features include:

• Play as either Ants or Termites
• Portrait-first controls for phone, with desktop support
• Large scrollable grid maps
• Pinch-to-zoom and mouse-wheel zoom
• Fog of war with hidden enemies and last-known enemy buildings
• Strongpoints that increase resource production
• Two game modes: Pheromone Conquest and Colony War
• Multiple unit types with distinct roles
• Base building, training, combat, capture points, and defensive towers
• Adaptive Pocket Chordsmith-style music that shifts with the battle

Game modes:

Pheromone Conquest — capture and hold strongpoints to build influence and dominate the battlefield.

Colony War — destroy the opposing colony before yours is overrun.

This is an early playable build. Feedback on controls, balance, bugs, readability, and mobile play is very welcome.
