About

Anties!

Features
Read full description

Jump into Anties! — a relaxing color puzzle where tiny ant swarms work together to clear colorful pixels and uncover fun pixel art. Each level is filled with different colored pixel pieces. Simply choose an ant group and release it onto the board. The ants will rush toward pixels that match their color and collect them one by one. Clear enough pieces to open more space, release the next swarm, and keep going until the entire pixel picture is gone. HOW TO PLAY: Choose your ants carefully. Match each swarm with the same colored pixels. Clear space for the remaining ant groups. Find the best order to release each swarm. Remove every pixel from the board. Complete the level. It may look simple, but the order of your moves matters. Some ant groups cannot reach their matching pixels until other colors have been cleared first. Choose the wrong swarm too early and you may run out of space or block your next move. Plan ahead, clear the right colors, and keep the ants moving until nothing is left. Explore colorful puzzle levels filled with pixel-art objects such as food, sweets, animals, toys, shapes, and many other fun designs. Every level brings a different picture, a new color arrangement, and a fresh puzzle to solve. With cute ants, smooth swarm movement, bright visuals, and satisfying pixel-clearing effects, Anties! offers a simple puzzle experience that is easy to pick up but becomes more challenging as you progress.
