Press, drag, and release to place the first chamber.

Start by choosing a terrain, then press Begin. Tap inside the soil, drag if you want, and release to place the founding chamber. After that the colony runs on its own.

Your main job is food pressure. The hunger bar shows colony condition. If hunger stays too low for too long, the ants start cannibalizing each other and the colony can collapse.

Live controls: use FEED as an emergency drop with a long cooldown, tap surface bugs, underground bugs, carcasses, and tunnel invaders for extra food, and use +, -, and Ant to zoom and follow a random worker.

When an enemy enters the tunnels, the red flash, danger music, and top threat bar take over. Ants only alarm once contact happens, then they swarm the intruder. Your taps count as heavy extra bites, so keep hitting the attacker.

Workers also dig, haul food, store supplies in pantry chambers, carry spoil to the nearest surface exit, and expand nurseries where eggs are laid and hatch over time when the colony is safe and well fed.

Difficulty: Super Chill is a near-sandbox mode with no normal raids and barely any hunger drain, so you can mostly watch the colony live and build. Relaxed gives you more breathing room with slower hunger, softer enemies, slightly faster brood growth, and longer gaps between attacks. Normal is the baseline balance. Fierce makes the colony burn food faster, brings tougher attacks sooner, and slows brood recovery, so you need to forage and defend much more aggressively.

Menu guide: Save Now writes the current colony, Load Last Save restores it, New Game wipes the current run, Full Screen toggles immersive view on supported browsers, and on iPhone the better option is using the Share menu to Add to Home Screen. Auto-save updates once per minute, Audio controls music and effects, Difficulty changes sim pressure, Sky switches day or night behavior, and Terrain starts a fresh colony in a new region.
