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 • Digger: Digs to expand the nest — Completing rooms increases food and brood capacity Adjusting the balance of roles to match the situation is the key to survival. Nest Expansion & Chambers • Assign workers to digging and the nest grows organically from existing tunnels. Food stores or brood chambers form automatically as needed. • Chambers raise food and brood capacity. When food storage is full, foragers wait and automatically resume as soon as space opens. • Nurses carry eggs from the queen's chamber to brood chambers and bring food from storage. After 3 feedings, a larva becomes a pupa. 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! 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. Queen Power: High Risk, High Return Raise Queen Power to lay eggs up to 3× faster. The tradeoff: the Queen gets hungry up to 8× faster, while nurses must feed her, carry eggs and tend larvae. Adjust power as the colony changes.
Sol de Cuba

The island runs on diesel. It is loud, it is filthy, and it eats the budget every single night. You are the new energy minister. You have the sun, the trade winds, and a map. That is the job. BUILD WHERE IT COUNTS Panels want open sand and bare hillsides — jungle shade costs you output. Turbines want the coast and the high ground, and they steal the wind from each other if you crowd them. Every tile is a small decision. THE SUN GOES DOWN Demand does not stop at dusk. Bank the afternoon surplus in batteries and run the island through the night on what you stored. Run short and the lights go out, and people notice. FOUR CHAPTERS, ONE ISLAND AT A TIME Puerto Vista is a gentle start. BahÃa Verde is hungrier. Sierra Alta throws hurricanes at you. Habana Libre is the capital, and everyone is watching. New kinds of station unlock as you go: biogas that burns cane waste through the night, offshore turbines out in the shallows. ENDLESS MODE Finish the campaign and keep going. No targets, just your own record: how many days can you hold the whole island on clean power? — Four campaign chapters plus an unlockable Endless mode — Six kinds of station, each upgradable three levels — A living island: day and night, weather, drifting cloud, hurricanes — Choice-driven events with real consequences and no game over
