About this game

Ant Colony is a real-time multiplayer battle game where you command a whole colony of ants, not just one. Guide your colony across a forest map, gather food to grow, and fight other colonies in rooms of up to 50 players.

Every bite adds ants. Workers come first, soldiers join to guard your front line, and at 30 ants a queen is born. Once you have a queen, protect her: if she falls, your colony is defeated.

Fights only happen where colonies touch, so size alone does not win. Flank bigger colonies, strike them from behind, or grab the leftovers while others fight. Play Battle, where you jump right back in after a defeat, or Deathmatch, a 30-colony fight inside a shrinking safe zone.

Tips

  • Your soldiers form a defensive line in the direction you move. Hits from the side or behind land on your workers instead.
  • Big food gives 8 ants but takes 2 seconds to eat, so make sure nobody is about to attack.
  • Sprint by holding the mouse button or Space, or with a second finger on mobile. It costs one worker every half second, so save it for escapes and chases.
  • The biggest colony in the room appears on everyone’s minimap and drops double spoils when defeated.
  • In Deathmatch, the white circle shows the next safe zone. Outside the zone your colony loses ants every second.
  • Grab items like honey drops, hard shells, acid drops and pheromones for short boosts.

FAQ

How many players are in a game?

Battle rooms hold up to 50 colonies and stay open, so you can join anytime. Deathmatch rounds have 30 colonies.

What happens when my colony is defeated?

In Battle you can start again right away with a new colony. In Deathmatch you can watch the rest of the round or look for a new one.

How do rankings work?

Battle ranks the biggest colony you have grown, and Deathmatch ranks the total of your placement points. Both have weekly and all-time leaderboards.

Items

  • Honey Drop – Move 1.4× faster for 6 seconds.
  • Hard Shell – No weak sides or back for 5 seconds.
  • Acid Drop – Leave acid behind you for 5 seconds. Enemies that step on it lose ants.
  • Pheromone – Gather food from twice as far for 8 seconds.

How to play

  • PC: Move toward the mouse, hold to dash
  • Mobile: Move toward your finger, use a second finger to dash
  • The thick line in front is your defense line. Getting hit from behind is fatal.
  • Items: touch one to use it right away.
