关于此游戏

Garden of Ants is a real-time ant colony simulation inspired mainly by leafcutter ants (Atta), which have mastered their own form of agriculture for survival. It embraces a minimalist aesthetic focusing on the complex biology of ant colonies and their dynamic environment. Control tunnel-digging workers and defensive soldiers or acid sprayers, blocker ants, explosive ants, and pupae thieves. Herd aphids, farm fungus and evolve your colony within a living ecosystem on both underground and surface layers in real time. The cycle of day and night brings additional challenges, such as nocturnal predators or shifting temperatures.

Founding the Colony: The game begins with the founding of a new colony by a fertilized queen. A piece of fungus serves as nutrition for the first tiny worker ants who take over care for both the queen and the fungus, bringing fresh organic material that fuels its growth and forms the foundation of the colony.

Fungus Cultivation and Colony Expansion: The workers collect nutrients for the fungus by mining the soil and carrying organic matter. The larger and healthier the fungus, the more ants it can support. With enough resources and stable conditions, the colony begins to produce reproductive individuals and establish new fungal gardens, gradually expanding its underground empire.

Nutrition and Defense: Collect various resources from the environment such as seeds, honeydew from aphids, or chitin-rich remains of captured insects. These serve to feed larvae and transform them into specialized castes with unique abilities and roles within the colony. The fungal gardens, however, must be constantly protected from unwanted intruders. Parasitic flies, rove beetles, “zombie” fungi, or silverfish can infiltrate the nest and disrupt its balance.

Exploration and Expansion: Explore the surrounding world by digging new tunnels underground or sending agile scouts to the surface. The colony must face rival ant species, predatory insects (such as antlions or spiders), and expand its influence until it becomes the dominant force within the ecosystem.

Watch your colony grow and fight for survival in a living world!
