About This Game

Start with five tiny ants in a glass habitat. Hatch new workers, build their home, and watch every trip for food turn into coins—then leave them working quietly while you do something else.

ANT is a hand-drawn idle colony simulator and desktop companion. Keep a slim colony along the edge of your screen, or open the full colony and follow your ants as their tiny home spreads far beyond the glass.

A Living Colony on Your Desktop🐜

Pin ANT to your screen, choose a compact size, and let the colony keep moving while you work, watch videos, browse, or play something else. The ants collect food and earn coins automatically without demanding constant attention. When you are ready to build, open the full colony with one click.

Every Ant Begins as an Egg🥚

Buy an ant and watch its small white egg hatch before the new worker joins the trails. Discover more than 40 ant types with distinct colors, silhouettes, animations, income values, and visual gimmicks—from workers, leafcutters, and honeypot ants to ghost, robot, fossil, cosmic, and far stranger varieties.

Build Space for a Growing Swarm🪴

Your colony needs more than numbers. Buy and place nest rooms to increase capacity, add food rooms that ants can visit, and choose between increasingly large room sizes as the population grows. Ants distribute themselves across available rooms instead of crowding into a single chamber.

Dig Through a Hidden World🪏

The glass habitat is only the beginning. Excavate the cabinet one section at a time, then continue through pipes, wall cavities, garden soil, tangled roots, clay, stone, underground water, and forgotten layers far below the house. Each expansion reveals new building space, routes, scenery, and discoveries.

Turn Tiny Clicks into Enormous Numbers🖱️

Click the surface food for an early boost, upgrade your click power, and reinvest every coin into stronger ants and a larger home. Find an occasional sugar cube to trigger a 60-second Sugar Rush that doubles your income. Your colony also earns part of its income for up to eight hours while you are away.
