About the Game

Grow, feed and care for your colony of mighty ants in a realistic semi-idle simulation of ant keeping. Created in collaboration with ant keeping enthusiasts, Ant Keeping Simulator will be an accurate experience to ant keepers.

Feed Your Colony

Feed your hungry colony with protein and carb sources to keep them healthy. Mealworms, cricket legs and sugar water are available in the demo with plans for many more food types.

Realistic Ant Behavior

Watch your ants move and interact with their environment in a realistic way. I've taken great care in understanding ant behavior and movent to best simulate them in the game.
