Happy Halloween! That and a few more changes to 0.13 make it the perfect time to try out the Hungry Spider level (click the cobweb on the main menu - before it disappears!). We've also made a few other changes. Notes below!

General Updates and Fixes

Added warning text above the play button in level setup telling the player what they must click on to allow them to press the play button
Fixed an issue where root aphids would be spawned at 0,0,0 (causing ladybirds to fly to a very strange location in top left of Towhead)

Freeplay Balance and Fixes

Some balance changes have been added to Freeplay. This should allow players struggling to start a colony to get off the ground before harder creatures are about. For example setting the starting difficulty to zero will give player 15 minutes where only devil's coach horse larvae, wood worms and woodlice will spawn making the surface a lot more manageable.
Medium creatures will no longer spawn below 20% difficulty in Freeplay until 15 minutes have passed
Large creatures will no longer spawn below 40% difficulty in Freeplay until 30 minutes have passed
Removed the word none from freeplay scoreboard
The underground spider in Towhead has been replaced by a devils coach horse adult
Fixed and issue in Freeplay not displaying the green outline of tunnels to surface before dug out
Renamed map option in Towhead to Flood
Fixed an issue that would flood Towhead immediately at the beginning of every play (removing all food including fish from the lower level)
Fixed death sequences on Towhead (and the ghostly queen)

Hungry Spider Balance and Fixes

Slightly increased the spider's attack and Venom Strike speed
Fixed an issue that would cause the keyboard controls to stop working when trying to use an ability that is on cooldown
Fixed an issue with the spider's projectile causing some particles to fly off to the bottom right
Fixed a spelling mistake on the hungry spiders bite ability

"Your queen has set up home beneath a rotting log. She is fat, and vulnerable. Her first brood will need to move quickly if the colony is to survive. Their priority now is to find food, and there is plenty around; but there are other hungry creatures in the undergrowth. The workers will need to be vigilant."

Empires of the Undergrowth is an ant colony management game, in a fast-paced real-time strategy style. The player excavates their nest underground, constructing tunnels and chambers to store food and raise brood. On the surface, the ants claim territory, gather resources, overwhelm fearsome arachnids and clash with other colonies. Nest design, army size, composition and attack timing are key to securing victory.
