I like that the cold blood theme depicts the uniqueness and strength of the fire ants while the a bridge too far theme depicts the struggles and dangers faced by fire ants.Slug disco is really great at making music that describes the atmosphere
yeah being that the ants have to form a living raft if they sense that the location of the nest is going to be flooded and need to act fast in order to save the colony and its queen...or drown
As if the colony didn’t already have enough to deal with, the Great Blue Skimmer has chosen this moment to touch down right outside the nest. Unchecked, this titan of the sky will no doubt disrupt colony activities. But if the soldiers are able to bring her down, the rewards could be mighty.
When I'm pillaging the little black ant colony at night and suddenly hear "an eastern newt is devouring ants." "A pine wood tree frog is wandering outside the nest, this one is taking a break from mate calling for a quick meal. And it seems that ants are on the menu."
@@Voidmercenary im sure theyll make some new soundtracks later on, they did really push to get 1.0 out asap. i mainly just want 5.3 themes and savannah night theme
Honestly, when I backed this kickstarter I never expected to find myself listening to this game's ost. I mean, everything is soooooo top quality for such a small team. It's a pure work of dedication and love. I honestly congratulate all of you guys for every single detail.
With the kind of drumstick clacking you hear at spots like 0:11 and 0:24, it sounds a lot like the kind of woodblock/drumstick clacking you hear for things like Japanese Taiko. I wonder if that was a purposeful choice when they made this track to add that just little bit more of a desperate war vibe to this.
I kept failing this mission in Challenge mode, Extreme, but just yesterday, I managed to increase the population to the goal amount just 3 SECONDS before the colony got flooded, and all the ants were at the top hill by then. THE SHEER PANIC AND EUPHORIA I felt was just something else, and the music perfectly captured that. 10/10 soundtrack and game.
The part starting around 2:53 builds so much suspense and really enhances the feel of the dramatic buildup to the Skimmer's Bossfight near the end of the level, suits the level perfectly and gets my heart beating faster and faster every time.
I,I am speechless for how much of a great legend this has become. This beautiful strategy game started off as a simple colony game with ok graphics. Now there are such complex mechanics like the harvesting and growing of fungi for leaf cutters, pontoons of fire ants and what blew my mind was hibernation with it’s completely new mechanic of vegetation just for an extra level. The seven people who worked on this game must be true madlads to make this piece of gaming art. I wish other game companies could be the humble game devs these people are. I wish you guys good luck. Thanks.
Narrator:A great blue skimmer Lebalula Vibrans hunts over head. This fantastic aerial predetor shouldn't cause any trouble to the ants,that is, unless it tries to land in their way.
This is one of my favorite soundtracks in the game, you guys made an amazing work, can’t wait for the future, and see and hear the new levels. And in my opinion the best part of this ost, is 3:35-3:58
There's actually an ant war happening at my garage right now lol Im pretty sure its "fire ants vs marouder ants" and they are actually fighting for my snack that's actually for my cat.
I like how it's similar (at least to me) sounding to the one wood ants level where it has the tiger beetles on it that I can't remember the name of. Very nice and well done 👍
Definitely not for workers but it might for soldiers since at level 3 the tiles produce 2 eggs but I’m not sure But even if it does it’s probably not worth the investment
Although I'm not a huge fan of this mission, I gotta say, the music never disappoints. Thus far, the ranking's looking like this: 1. Front Line Action Theme 2. A Bridge Too Far Action Theme 3. Hibernation Both Themes
I can understand why you may not be a huge fan of the mission. But you gotta admit, this is by far the most unique mission out of all the other missions.
This song so perfectly captures the apocalyptic event the rising water level is to the Fire Ants. Where Cold Blood allowed you to experience the power of being the devouring ant horde, ABTF forces you to take what you learned right into a crash course, trusting the player to have the skills and experience to prioritize. The Blue Skimmer adds a level of tension - it is not enough that God would enact a deluge upon the nest, but he sends his seraph to scuttle the ark. You know he's going to land - and all you can do is wonder when, and just keep building...
As always, your soundtrack is cool! I listen to them almost every day. Also, there are some unusual themes in the first four demo missions, and in "Festive Spider". Could you upload them too, please. And will we hear them in freeplay mode?
Something adding to the urgency of the theme is just how resource poor the swamp really is, especially because of how much you need to survive the mission, with the raft requirement and the manpower needed to bring down the skimmer. Pinecones and Aphids are your best option, but they get washed away early game, and the ants needed to form the bridges to get to them hinders your ability to gather. If you haven't stocked up on aphids, your outta luck as seeds falling close to your colony is infrequent and kills give you a disappointing amount of food.
I really like 4.2, even though its music isn't super good (its still really good!), Its the one 4 tier level (besides the formicarium challenge) that I can beat, and its pretty fun! I've actually never beaten cold blood, all attempts we're on easy mode.
anyways I'm going to say sorry also I'm going to say something imagine some kind of Nest taking like after you kill a colony you can go to the nest and take it over imagine a map will you can go and take the nest what the water is growing up that'd be pretty cool also, you are a fire ant colony fighting a super colony a black ANT also in level 21 after finishing the game I can easily see those two queens going to your nest trying to take it over
The dynamic music blends between the action music and the safe music depending on what is going on (with extra stuff too) so thats why this is labeled action music
"There isn't space here for everyone..."

Best miniboss in the whole game
yeah 1200 food so not really worth it lol
Much better than promised land
@@mototechy7362 1.2k food? I think you ment 800 food,and even then,that is ALOT more food than you are thinking
@@AlmightyHucklebert i killed it and it gave 1200.
This action theme actually sounds more like a war scene rather than ants overcoming obstacles
But it’s undeniably epic
I Agree
I mean with a name like "A Bridge Too Far" it is likely referencing Operation Market Garden. And I love it!
It is basically war if you think about it which is pretty cool
This theme seems perfect for Queen of the Hill, but not really.
is like the music called a bridge too far "the movie"
POV: a super high level wolf spider got to your queen in freeplay and the second wind hasnt refreshed yet and you remember you didnt save.
At that point might as well do a different Freeplay
When I'm pillaging the little black ant colony at night and suddenly hear "an eastern newt is devouring ants." "A pine wood tree frog is wandering outside the nest, this one is taking a break from mate calling for a quick meal.
And it seems that ants are on the menu."
I ended up losing my entire army on the way back to flood waters, I was playing vigorous
If the music for each tier gets progressively better then tier 5 is going to be literally the best music in the world!
Womp womp they made 3 soundtracks then went ahead and reused the safe theme from 1.2
Yeah... I know@@Voidmercenary
@@Voidmercenary im sure theyll make some new soundtracks later on, they did really push to get 1.0 out asap. i mainly just want 5.3 themes and savannah night theme
@@VoidmercenaryDrive them back action theme slaps tho
“The water is rising quickly”
Gives me the frontline and queen of the hill flashbacks 🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🐜🪖🪖🪖🪖🐜
In music, yes, but in level design, far from it. 4.2 hurt me when I first played it.
This sound team TH-cam needs to promote this

Thank you for giving us what we all needed
Guess what! Only one person had been making the OST. They're truly talented :)
The action music is so good it makes me feel like i am in a war
This is brilliant, the fire ant levels sound like a combination of the beach levels and the leaf cutter levels.
With the kind of drumstick clacking you hear at spots like 0:11 and 0:24, it sounds a lot like the kind of woodblock/drumstick clacking you hear for things like Japanese Taiko. I wonder if that was a purposeful choice when they made this track to add that just little bit more of a desperate war vibe to this.
In 2:53 the build up is my favorite part of this action theme.
By far the newer pieces are better than the others.
Same here the entire build up from 2:53 - 3:44 is my favorite part
1:10 is way better.
same
2:53 is literally the best part of the song for me, it just sounds so epic.
It really gives off a sense of uncertaint which leads to more intensity.
The suspense it builds, especially when one fights the Skimmer while that part is playing, is crazy and so exciting.
I love the part right before it and this goes well after
It is really good, because it makes you fell stressed and the level is intense so it matches. I love their music.
*Me about to complete the population goal*
Wait a minute... Why do I hear boss music?
Same I hear that the dragonfly has landed and I need 10 workers
It’s like The Promised Land, but this time…
There is no Promised Land.
I kept failing this mission in Challenge mode, Extreme, but just yesterday, I managed to increase the population to the goal amount just 3 SECONDS before the colony got flooded, and all the ants were at the top hill by then. THE SHEER PANIC AND EUPHORIA I felt was just something else, and the music perfectly captured that. 10/10 soundtrack and game.

Actually the fascinating thing is that only 3 people are working on it.
Narrator:A great blue skimmer Lebalula Vibrans hunts over head.
This fantastic aerial predetor shouldn't cause any trouble to the ants,that is, unless it tries to land in their way.
this is the EOTU action theme equivalent of "why do I here boss music?"
I think all action themes from 2.2 to 4.2 are like "why do I hear boss music"
I could spend a whole afternoon listening to this. It's too good.
The parts at around 2:10 are the best!
This is THE BEST theme I have ever heard , even surpassing Front Line Action Theme
2:13 has to be my favourite part. The horns are just so powerful!
this will be great music of the undergrowth
This is my new favourite thing in the entire world i absolutely adore this soundtrack
This is one of my favorite soundtracks in the game, you guys made an amazing work, can’t wait for the future, and see and hear the new levels. And in my opinion the best part of this ost, is 3:35-3:58
the perfect combination of sound make you know that you need to be quiclky to save your ant colony
This Will Be Legendary A Action Music Beyond Galaxy's!!! Thank You Slug Disco Team - Spikey Boi
Oh i just LOVE this part: 2:53. Keep up the good work👍🏻
There's actually an ant war happening at my garage right now lol
Im pretty sure its "fire ants vs marouder ants" and they are actually fighting for my snack that's actually for my cat.

Very nice and well done 👍
Rising Tide?
@@th01m3nn Yeah, that was it. Thanks.
HOLY HELL THIS IS A BANGER
Does upgrading an ant count towards the population? Asking for a friend.
No 👍
Definitely not for workers but it might for soldiers since at level 3 the tiles produce 2 eggs but I’m not sure
But even if it does it’s probably not worth the investment
We will make a raft with this one 🔥
I really don't know which one I like better, the Frontline action theme or this.
"The colony is starving. Theres not enough food to feed the new brood." -Narrator
I think you should be able to unlock the hybrids in battle arena after completing formicarium challenge 4
Also under the uber creatures in freeplay should be a part where u can add boss creatures like bullfrog skimmer or the hybrids
Yes my guy but they say they will add titans in next big freeplay update but before that they will release adventure
and the ''star'' creature should be awersome
4.x has the best music in the game I love it good job slug disco
This is some great music for me ears

The Festive Spider music isn't composed by us - it was purchased so it's not an original Slug Disco track.
Sounds like Star Wars!
You should add a feature where the ants have headphones on they're heads!
Yeah like how the queen's have hats at christmas
this sounds like something that would be in one of Dream's manhunts, esp 2:53, lol
The tide is rising quickly the ants most take as many of the monomorium eggs to eat! Or the monomorium colony will be floud!

I accidentally played this on insane (Yes I didn’t notice) I got absolutely reeked 😰
I really like 4.2, even though its music isn't super good (its still really good!), Its the one 4 tier level (besides the formicarium challenge) that I can beat, and its pretty fun! I've actually never beaten cold blood, all attempts we're on easy mode.
do as little as possible to provoke the big headed ant colony
Oh sorry, I beat cold blooded easy mode a few days ago
Fire 🔥
is it just me or does this kinda sound like the 2.2 action theme
Yeah ikr, its prob like that cause theres another colony in 4.2 that will be flooded, just like 2.2 so thats why.
Was it just me or did the great blue skimmer land and it was at this part 2:15 felt so hype
I have to say cold blood action theme hits different
HERE WE ARE
3:43 is my favourite
it sounds so dramatic
is the fire ant stuff gonna get add to the extra level "Tug of war" ?
They said tug of war will get a sequel level with new stuff.
ITS HERE
Me when the game adds flying enemies
anyways I'm going to say sorry also I'm going to say something imagine some kind of Nest taking like after you kill a colony you can go to the nest and take it over imagine a map will you can go and take the nest what the water is growing up that'd be pretty cool also, you are a fire ant colony fighting a super colony a black ANT also in level 21 after finishing the game I can easily see those two queens going to your nest trying to take it over
This sounds like a post someone would make after staying up for a week straight while surviving off of espresso.
@@SporeJonah LMAO HOLY CRAP THATS LITERALLY THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE THIS.
You're basically describing Level 2.2 Queen Of The Hill lol
Just without you being able to occupy a different nest.
@@tehkaihong5328 I'm saying what new things are they going to add to the game what new mechanics are they going to add
Epic
Hey Slug Disco could the next update by the ants being set free and being laik the kickstarter?
can you make fire ant in extra levels
Ooo this is top 3 on my list nex to front line and cold blood
Can you add tier 5 music soon
How do they get these tracks if the music is dynamic in the game?
The dynamic music blends between the action music and the safe music depending on what is going on (with extra stuff too) so thats why this is labeled action music
are they play there a game im still excited
wow
Как найти его?
I wonder what action theme is going to be for the bullet ant
Yes
kinda liked the music when i played the level
