Keep your own ant colony — right on your phone. Ant Colony Simulator is a relaxing, realistic antkeeping game. Start with a single mated queen in a test tube, care for her through the founding stage, and watch her colony grow from the first egg to hundreds of busy workers. Build your formicarium piece by piece, keep your ants fed and watered, and protect them from everything that can go wrong. FROM ONE QUEEN TO A WHOLE COLONY • Choose your first queen and move her into a test tube with water and cotton • Watch every stage of life: eggs, larvae, pupae and the very first worker • Name your queen and follow her for her whole lifetime • Winged alates and nuptial flights once your colony matures BUILD YOUR FORMICARIUM • Connect test tubes, acrylic nests, aerated concrete nests and outworlds • Expand when the nest gets crowded and give every worker room to live • Add heat mats, thermometers, feeders and decor to your desk • Pinch to zoom in and watch individual ants walk, carry brood and forage REALISTIC ANT CARE • Feed honey for energy and protein so the larvae can grow • Keep water, humidity and temperature in the right range • Cover the nest — ants prefer the dark and get stressed by light • Clean up leftovers before mold spreads • Day and night cycle, four seasons and winter hibernation 5 REAL ANT SPECIES Black Garden Ant (Lasius niger), Harvester Ant (Messor structor), Carpenter Ant (Camponotus ligniperda), Big-headed Ant (Pheidole pallidula) and Pavement Ant (Tetramorium caespitum). Each species has its own size, colors, development times and difficulty. SURVIVE THE UNEXPECTED Chase off spiders, fight mite outbreaks, handle heat waves, cold snaps and moldy cotton, and defend your nest from enemy raids. STORY MODE: ANT RESCUE CENTER Six hand-crafted missions put you in charge of colonies in trouble — a forgotten tube, a nest that has dried out, a mite outbreak, an overcrowded nest, an aging queen and raid season. YOUR COLONY KEEPS LIVING Time passes even while the app is closed, so there is always something new to see when you come back. Track the population on charts, read the colony journal and learn real ant facts in your field notebook. Take photos of your colony with Photo Mode. Whether you are a curious beginner, a real antkeeper or just looking for a cozy virtual pet, Ant Colony Simulator brings the fascinating world of ants to your desk. Optional in-app purchases are available for coin packs. The game can be fully played without them. Privacy Policy https://appdoro.com/privacy Terms of Use (EULA) https://appdoro.com/terms
