About Ant Colony
A 2D strategy game about an ant colony that has to feed itself before it can fight anything. Resources come in, the colony grows on them, and the size of your ranks decides which insects you can take on.
Idle elements keep the nest ticking over, so progress does not stop the moment you stop clicking. What you steer is the balance between gathering more and pushing out further, and the insect world outside is doing the same arithmetic. It plays at 800 by 600 on a phone or a desktop.
How to play
- Send your ants out to gather resources.
- Spend what comes back on growing the colony.
- Send the ranks into battle against other insects.
- Expand the nest as your numbers allow.

Tips
- Grow the workforce before you pick a fight. A colony that outnumbers its enemy loses fewer ants.
- Come back after a break. The idle side keeps gathering while you are away.
