Minty Paths: the golden bears gummies self-organize by leaving behind minty pheromone so that a path emerges between the candys pizza and the cake castle. Unfortunately, the minty pheromone also attracts the Frosty King. He will arrive at any moment, the princess must help them! 

Gum Barrier: princess Bubblegum creates a barrier that will serve as a burrow for the  golden bears gummies . They must hurry to find the entrance! 

Bonded Gummies: the golden bears gummies self-organize to form a school, moving in groups to confuse the Frosty King and to give the princess more visibility when shooting him.

About the game

In this casual game I explore applied approaches in distributed artificial intelligence with multi-agent systems: through simple interactions between agents complex collective behaviors emerge (self-organization). Mainly inspired by the behaviors exhibited by ants and schools of fish.

Influences
