A living ant farm you can click

Ant Clicker is an incremental game about growing an ant colony you can actually watch. Every ant you recruit appears in a cross-section of the nest: Foragers carry crumbs home, Workers haul seeds and leaves, Nurses carry larvae to the Great Queen, Tunnelers bring soil to the surface, Harvesters collect honeydew from aphids, and Soldiers guard the mound.

Watch your nest grow

• Click or hold the colony to gather. Crumbs fly and runners head out for more food.
  
• Recruit six ant castes, each with its own colour and job, then build the Queen Chamber, Fungus Farm, Mega Colony and Hive Mind.
  
• Hundreds of ants walk real routes between the surface and their chambers.
  
• New rooms open as your population grows, from the first Food Stores down to the Colony Heart.
  
• Four seasons change the meadow above: spring blossom, high summer, autumn leaves and winter snow.

Defend the nest

Push your borders and rival colonies begin to raid. Bands of raiders march in along the surface. Your Soldiers meet them, and you can squash raiders yourself. Every raider stopped leaves spoils, and repelling a whole raid without losses sets off a Victory Frenzy. Raids never reduce your production and never happen while the game is closed.

Plan your Dig Site

After your first rebirth, excavate new chambers below the nest. Dig beside the surface or a finished room, choose what each chamber becomes, and place them well: Fungus Beds feed Storerooms, Trail Galleries link up, and Barracks are strongest by the gate. Deeper soil takes longer to dig and hides more finds. Your dug chambers appear in the living colony.

Come back stronger

Rebirth turns a successful colony into Evolution Points for permanent genetic upgrades. Hatch and feed the Great Queen for lasting levels and auras. Hourly Nectar unlocks colony activities: the Dig Site, Crumb Market, Ancestral Chamber and Alchemy Mound.
