This was interesting, but possibly a bit too abstract for me. I do think the idea behind it (upgrading a swarm to increase its abilities) is overall a cool concept, but with the way the graphics are, and the way the interface works, I found it hard to tell if I was playing the game well, poorly, or having any impact at all. I really think the interface needs more feedback, a sound that plays or a brief flash of colour when you click a button, so that players know if they are accomplishing anything would be great. Overall the game needs more clarity, whether that comes from interface feedback, tutorials, or even just a more thorough description on the game page.
