About This Demo

Begin your colony in the free Ant Clicker demo. Every ant you recruit appears in a living cross-section of the nest, carrying food, brood and soil between the surface and its chambers.

Discover your first six castes

Recruit Foragers, Workers, Soldiers, Nurses, Tunnelers and Harvesters, each with its own colour and job. Click or hold the colony, or hold Space, to gather. New rooms open as your colony grows, and Sugar Cubes on the surface pay out bonuses.

The demo uses the full game's normal costs and production rates. Its Journey guides you to your first Harvester.

Keep growing at your own pace

There is no playtime limit. Reaching your first Harvester completes the demo journey, and you can keep gathering, upgrading and saving afterward. Offline progress continues for up to seven days per absence.

Carry your colony into the full game

Your demo saves separately. When you start the full game on the same Steam account, your demo colony can carry forward automatically if you do not already have a full-game colony. Existing full-game progress is protected. You can also export a save code from the demo and import it in the full game.

More in the full game

Four more castes and great works, the Great Queen, raids by rival colonies, the Dig Site, seasons, rebirth with permanent genetic upgrades, and 100 Steam achievements.
