About

Roach Outbreak

Features
Read full description

Your phone has been infested. “Roach Outbreak” is an unconventional idle simulation game where you feed, hydrate, raise, and breed a colony hiding deep inside a dark crevice. What begins as a tiny colony soon grows out of control. Egg cases appear, nymphs hatch, and roaches multiply until the entire room is crawling. Disgusting. Yet impossible to look away. Before long, you may even find a favorite. 【RAISE AND MULTIPLY】 Leave food and water for your colony. Watch each roach eat, move, grow, and reproduce. How large can your infestation become? 【SHINE A LIGHT】 Point a light at the colony and watch them scatter in every direction. It is horrifyingly satisfying. 【CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE】 Name one special roach and track its size, growth, meals, and survival time throughout its life. 【COLLECT RARE ROACHES】 Discover Jet Black, Red Copper, Silver Back, Albino, Oil Slick, and the legendary Golden roach. Hatch special egg cases and complete your collection. 【BUILD YOUR OWN HIDEOUT】 Arrange scraps of paper, old receipts, empty boxes, and other hiding places. Unlock unsettling locations such as beneath the refrigerator, behind the kitchen shelf, and beside the tatami. 【RECORD YOUR OUTBREAK】 Track your largest colony, biggest roach, longest survivor, and fastest specimen. Capture your infested room and share it as an image. You hate them, but you cannot stop watching. You fear them, but you keep raising them. Begin your forbidden outbreak today.

About

Ant Village

Features
Read full description

Ant Village is a colony builder inspired by real ant biology. Start with a queen and a handful of workers, dig your nest into the earth and grow it into a thriving underground civilization. DIG YOUR NEST Build chambers: storage, brood chambers, healing chambers, tunnels and a throne room for your queen. Upgrade them with food and resin and shape a nest that works the way you want. WATCH REAL ANT BEHAVIOUR Your foragers don't follow scripts. They lay and follow pheromone trails, so busy ant highways emerge on their own between the nest and the best food sources. Ants hatch from eggs, grow through larva and pupa, and take on roles as foragers, builders, nurses or defenders. EXPLORE THE SURFACE An isometric overworld surrounds your nest, full of food, resin and danger. Spiders, beetles and frogs hunt your workers, so send defenders out with them or guide ants directly to a target. Tame aphids and milk them for a steady supply of honeydew. PLAY TWO SPECIES - Black garden ant: the flexible all-rounder to learn the game with - Leafcutter ant: cut leaves, feed a fungus garden and manage the waste it produces RAID OTHER PLAYERS Defend your nest and raid the colonies of real players. Every raid is simulated ant by ant. Win trophies, climb five leagues in weekly seasons and earn Wings for your dynasty. RUN SEVERAL COLONIES Unlock extra colony slots, play different species side by side and trade pupae between your colonies through a shared tunnel. YOUR COLONY KEEPS WORKING Come back after a break and find new resin and brood waiting for you. Sessions can be short; the colony grows over weeks. FAIR AND PRIVATE No account needed. Link an Apple or Google account only if you want cloud saves across devices. Ads are optional rewarded videos you start yourself. Purchases unlock extra colony slots and species, never gameplay you can't reach by playing. Ant Village is in development. Your feedback shapes what comes next.
