That ending, ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.
Didn't expect the game to end with a "The Fly" sort of ending, dude turned into an ant abomination.

So what was his actual goal? Turn into some sort of ant super-being, except he forgot that a genetically engineered super-ant hivemind was right next to him?

Now I am genuinely curious as to what he'll do next, does the Ereptor Queen want to take over the world or something, Phase IV style?

He was absolutely intending to become a god-like being, having realised the jelly had powers far beyond what the lab was testing it for.

However, even he underestimated the jelly's power, and he is now subservient to the collective will of the ereptors.

I wouldn't like to be a carefully evolved ecosystem with the ereptors loose.
I don't know what I was expecting, but it definitely wasn't that.

How did this happen exactly I wonder, was it because of the ants he sucked up alongside to make the potion that caused it? That's What I'm guessing happend.

Yeah...I think this sums it up pretty nicely-
Ecosystem: *Chuckles* I'm in danger!

honestly if you ask me, it sorta smells like sequel bait to me, and if so, colour me excited

Really? All the ending did was make me think "Damn they could make a good prequel series to this"

Gimmie an RTS where you control giant ants to take over the world.

yeah not the ending I expected.

I know people will think "Oh man he is gonna get away and they are going to take over the world"

But you know science this amazing will be captured, locked away, possibly behind a 50 meter thick concrete wall and observed. Many wondrous technologies will come from the study and all will be good for humanity until that one... that one single lil drip of jelly gets into the water supply and oh no... Humanity doesn't get conquered, it simply becomes part of the colony!

Love the game, interesting ending! I want my giant ant RTS.
We as humans might even still have a chance, the ants have not become cold-resistant. But it also has a good message, similar to the creation of the killer bee, humans should not intervene in evolution.

I'd love to see some form of content as a somewhat-prequel to this insanity, what this lab even is, who these two scientists even are, and how the jelly was found

Didn't think this is how I'd find out :meepyikes:
