Ant Colony
One ant, one crumb. Then a supercolony.
About Ant Colony
Grow an ant colony from a single forager to a world-spanning empire. Send scouts, dig tunnels, build nurseries, farm aphids and grow fungus gardens. Dropped honey brings bonuses; royal jelly makes every new colony stronger.
How to play Ant Colony
- Tap the big button to earn your first crumbs.
- Spend crumbs on producers, from worker ants up to an ant empire. They earn for you every second.
- Buy upgrades to double each producer, and tap upgrades to make every tap count.
- Catch the bonus when it floats past for a lucky windfall or a 30-second frenzy.
- When you've earned enough, found a new colony to start again with a permanent bonus.
Tips and strategy
- Early on, buy the producer with the best rate for its price, not just the cheapest.
- Upgrades are usually better value than another producer once they unlock.
- Your empire keeps earning at half speed for up to eight hours while you're away.
