## What is Ant's Diary?

Protect the Queen—grow your colony to 100 ants!

"Ant's Diary" is a real-time strategy game where you raise an ant colony. Adjust the roles of your worker ants around the queen, survive enemy raids, and build a thriving colony of 100.

4 Roles to Strategize
• Foragers (Green): Gather food on the surface and carry it to the nest
• Nurses (Pink): Feed larvae to raise new worker ants
• Soldiers (Red): Fight enemies and defend the colony
• Resters (Blue): Recover injured ants back to health

Adjusting the balance of roles to match the situation is the key to survival.

Explore 2 Worlds
• Surface: A dangerous world where you gather food and battle enemies
• Nest: A safe haven to raise larvae and dig new chambers

Defend Against Enemy Raids
As time passes, enemy attacks grow fiercer. Build up your soldiers in advance to prepare.

Score Attack Challenge
Your time to reach 100 ants is your score. Aim for the fastest record and try again and again!

A quick strategy game—reach 100 ants in 20 to 40 minutes per play!

Earn Your Rank
Your time to 100 ants decides which of 6 ranks you earn. Break 15 minutes to become the Mythic Queen. Share your result as a card whose artwork changes with your rank.
