Colony ExpANTsion
A downloadable game for Windows
The Ant Queen has requested your assistance in preparing the ant hill for the upcoming winter! Control an ant swarm to bring back enough food to survive the cold. Explore the world beyond the anthill, collect resources, and recruit different types of ants to grow your swarm!
Use your ants to build bridges, cut down webs, and break boulders to unlock new areas to explore. Look out for crickets though, or you might just become dinner!
Each type of ant has different specialties and needs different resources.
- Carpenter ants carry items and build bridges. Your standard worker ants!
- Leafcutter ants help speed up your swarm and cut down vines and webs.
- Fire ants break boulders and will attack enemies to keep your swarm safe.
How will you build your colony?
