About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Ant Clicker is an incremental idle game about growing a living ant colony. Gather crumbs, recruit ants that produce automatically, and watch your purchases bring a busy underground nest to life.
Watch your nest grow
Start with a Forager and recruit new castes as your colony expands. Workers carry supplies between the surface and underground chambers. Growing your population and recruiting castes reveal food stores, nurseries, fungus gardens and deeper galleries.
Own every caste to hatch the Great Queen. Feed her to earn permanent levels and unlock aura choices. Her growth and auras stay with you through rebirth.
Come back stronger
Rebirth turns a successful run into Evolution Points for permanent genetic upgrades and a stronger production and gathering bonus. The Legacy preview shows what you keep and what you rebuild before you choose to begin again.
Earned achievement badges and progress toward crumb, gathering, Sugar Cube and seasonal collection goals carry through rebirth. Discover seasonal rewards and finish sets to keep their bonuses in future colonies.
Choose your colony activities
Preview the four minigames from the start. Your first rebirth grants 3 Nectar Drops; each activity's permanent unlock costs 1 drop, spent on Level 1 of its linked caste. Choose where to begin, then earn more Nectar as completed hours accumulate whether the game is open or closed.
- Tunnel Network: Plant and harvest growing paths, earn crumbs and discover new path types.
- Crumb Market: Buy and sell resources at changing prices. Turn a well-timed trade into extra crumbs.
- Ancestral Chamber: Assign spirits for production, gathering or offline bonuses.
- Alchemy Mound: Spend regenerating mana on spells, weighing their rewards against the chance of a backfire.
Activity unlocks and caste levels stay with you through rebirth.
Active when you want, idle when you need
Click or hold the colony—or hold Space—to gather. Buy producers and upgrades while your ants work, catch Sugar Cubes for rewards, or return to offline production, capped at seven days per absence. Mature Nectar waits to be collected while the next drop keeps growing.
Journey points you toward your next milestone. Quiet ambient music, adjustable sound and performance settings, and save export and import let you settle into your own pace.
