You control an ant colony. The goal is for it to survive as long as possible. Control ants by placing pheromone trails on the ground by holding the left mouse button. Bringing mushrooms and leaves back to the anthill will produce more ants, while bringing sticks gives you points. Ants have a limited lifespan and you lose when you run out of ants. The game gets more difficult as the camera zooms out and food becomes more scarce.

Ants generally follow pheromone trails when they're near them, but they also have a mind of their own.

The circle around the cursor shows how much more pheromone you have available – it regenerates with time.

For an explanation of how the ant movement algorithm works, see here.

Post-jam bugfix: Fixed a bug where rocks were only spawning in the upper left corner when playing on itch.io (it was related to the viewport size).
