What's New in Ant Laboratory

2.1.3

November 8, 2026

Fixes a problem in the honeypot tank: ants could look cut in half or vanish near the cave walls. Now they stay whole, and a darker cave wall makes them easier to see.

Best Ant Game

I’ve played a bunch of games but none compete to the science behind this one! I love watching the ants, the developer themselves is amazing and I’m glad I was convinced to get it. I hope for more content and interactions with the ants in the future!

Amazing sim

Best formicarium simulator out there, as someone who has raised ant colonies in the past, this is exactly the kind of app I’ve wanted for YEARS. My only complaint is the occasional performance drops on bigger colonies, but I understand that’s a tricky problem to solve. Other than that literally perfect

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this. It really means a lot, especially from someone who has kept real colonies. Reviews like this make all the work worth it. You’re right about the slowdowns in bigger colonies, and work is underway to make large colonies run more smoothly. Stay tuned, because honeypot ants are coming soon too!

Nice

Love to watch our colonies grow

Response from developer

Thank you, and welcome to the colony! There's nothing quite like watching a colony grow, from a single queen to a busy nest. Our new update makes panning and zooming smoother, and there's more on the way soon.

Can’t go wrong

Beginners and Experts alike can enjoy this game. Whether it’s learning about ants or putting existing knowledge to the test; this game delivers on all accounts. Cannot wait to see what these guys come up with for future updates 🙌🏼

Response from developer

Thank you so much! That's exactly what I hoped for: a game where someone new to ants can learn as they watch, and a keeper can test what they know. The next update is on its way, with new food to hunt, ants that groom and share food, a living soil and much more. I can't wait for you to see it. Thanks for playing! 🐜

Brilliant

What a fantastic game! The developer is so responsive and is constantly updating and improving the game. 10/10

I’m constantly working to make the game better, and there’s so much more to come. Thank you for being part of this journey! 🐜
