## What is Antorium?

Antorium is a top-down idle ant colony sim. No tunnels to dig, no menus full of numbers — just your ant farm seen from above, where every ant on screen is actually working for you.

Harvesters carry seeds home. Leafcutters slice a leaf and haul it back. Trap-jaw soldiers patrol the trails and snap at anything that gets near the nest. Every resource in your counter came from an ant you can point at.


GROW THE COLONY

Buy ants and they walk out of the anthill and get to work. Seeds pay for harvesters, leaves pay for leafcutters, meat pays for soldiers. Production never stops, so the colony keeps growing while the app is closed.


THREE REAL SPECIES, THREE REAL JOBS

• Messor barbarus — harvester ants. They collect seeds from the seed patch and stock the nest.
• Atta cephalotes — leafcutter ants. They cut fragments from the plant and carry them back.
• Odontomachus monticola — trap-jaw ants. Your soldiers. They patrol, chase and bite anything that threatens the workers.

Workers appear as minor, media and major, the same castes you would see in a real colony.


PHEROMONES: TAPPING IS OPTIONAL

Tap anywhere on the ground and the ants inside the ring pick up the pace for a few seconds — workers, hauling crews and soldiers alike. Tapping never conjures resources out of thin air: what you produce comes from the ants you own, not from your thumb. During an event the tap becomes the event's own move — charging a coordinated strike, clearing a blocked trail. Put the phone down and the colony carries on.


EVENTS ON THE SAME SCREEN

No separate battle mode, no loading screen. Everything happens on your terrain:

• Insect invasion — bugs pour in from the edges and head for the nest. Rally your soldiers.
• Predator — a spider, centipede or mantis with a health bar. Charge a coordinated mandible strike.
• Peak activity — the colony can hit exceptional output. Keep the rhythm going.


IDLE, OFFLINE, NO PRESSURE

• Offline earnings while you are away, extendable with upgrades
• Upgrades for production, speed, mandibles, pheromones and offline time
• One vertical screen, one hand, short sessions
• No forced interstitial ads
• No species locked behind a payment


FEATURES

• Idle ant colony simulator built around real ant species
• Top-down ant farm view — see every ant do its job
• Incremental clicker economy with offline progress
• Automatic bug combat, no unit micromanagement
• Three timed events that change the rules of the terrain
• Permanent upgrades for the whole colony
• Portrait, one-handed, made for short sessions
• English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese

Antorium is an idle game for people who like ants. Keep a formicarium and you will recognise the species. Do not keep one and you will still enjoy watching a tiny city that never stops moving.
