About the Game

In Microtopia you'll manage a colony of robot ants, design a network of transport trails, explore unique environments and expand your settlement.

Your goal? To reproduce! Create young queens that will fly out during the nuptial flight to spread out to distant lands. Starting the cycle anew.

  • Deploy your queen to start a colony. Navigate a world of electronic waste.

  • Use trails and buildings to create instructions for your ants. Collect materials, produce goods and feed the queen.

  • Optimize your layout by using sensors and logic gates to sort your ants based on different properties.

  • Upgrade your workers into different castes like flying ants, digger ants and inventor ants.

  • Progress through a tech tree to unlock new features.

  • Expand your colony and fly out to nearby islands. Explore a vast array of colorful biomes, discover new plant species and find ways to use their resources.

  • Reproduce: As with all life; your goal is to reproduce! Gather up enough resources to build young queens to let them fly out and start new colonies!
