About This Game

A few crumbs. One Forager. A colony waiting to happen.

Ant Clicker is an incremental idle game about growing an underground ant empire. Click or hold to gather food, recruit ants that gather automatically, and choose upgrades that make each new purchase count. Watch workers travel between the surface and your colony's chambers, carrying food into a nest that develops as you progress.

From a trail to an empire

Recruit 10 castes, from Foragers and Workers to Fungus Farms, Mega Colonies and the Hive Mind. Add tunnels, a nursery, gardens and a royal chamber to your colony illustration. Choose from 139 ordinary upgrades, combine production bonuses, and follow the Journey panel toward your next milestone. Hold the colony or Space to gather without repeated clicking.

A Queen worth growing for

Recruit every caste to hatch the Great Queen. Feed her, level her up and unlock aura choices that shape your colony's bonuses. The Queen and her progress stay with you through rebirths.

Four activities below the surface

Use Nectar Drops to develop permanent buildings and unlock four minigames:

• Tunnel Network: Grow paths, harvest rewards and discover new varieties through neighboring growth.
  
• Crumb Market: Trade resources at changing prices and build your inventory.
  
• Ancestral Chamber: Assign spirits whose bonuses suit your colony.
  
• Alchemy Mound: Spend mana on powerful spells that can succeed or backfire.

For another risk-and-reward option, start a parasite invasion, let the swarm store crumbs, and decide when to collect its payout. The Colony Accord offers a route back to peace.

Make the next colony stronger

Rebirth a successful run for Evolution Points and choose from 53 permanent genetic upgrades. The Legacy preview explains what carries forward and what you rebuild. Discover Harvest, Bloom, Abundance and Survival seasons, collect themed rewards, and complete sets that persist through future rebirths.

Play at your own pace

Gather actively, plan purchases while your ants work, or return to offline production, capped at seven days. Pursue 100 in-game achievements across production, castes, rebirths, seasons, the Queen and all four minigames. Keyboard shortcuts, adjustable performance settings, and local save export and import let you manage your colony your way.
