Let's delve into the lives of ants.
You can observe their diverse activities such as foraging for food and engaging in battles with their adversaries.
What Is Ant Life?
Ant life is a multi-player survival game that makes you play as ants. You can be a queen so you can lay eggs and create a colony, and other ant castes to protect and feed yourself, the Queen and Larvae. Little insects in a big world, you have to fight to survive. Defend against raids, Spiders, and other threats. Or you can do raids yourself. Eat food and feed your colony. Most importantly, Protect your queen. There are three ant species to play as, Carpenter ant, Yellow Crazy ant, and Fire ant. Each species has their pros and cons, so make sure to choose wisely, and look out for when the queen lays eggs so you can spawn in as a larva. When you become the king of the insects, you will be as powerful as you've ever been.

There are three types of ants that you can generate:
- Worker Ant:
The Worker Ant is adept at locating and gathering food.
However, they lack the ability to combat their foes.
They play a vital role in expanding the colony.
- Soldier Ant:
Soldier ants excel in battling their adversaries.
Nevertheless, they are unable to gather their own sustenance.
Although they are typically idle, they are crucial during confrontations with enemies.
- Universal Ant:
The Universal Ant possesses the capability to both fight their enemies and gather food.
Yet, their proficiency in each task falls slightly short compared to specialized ants.
Enhance your colony by effectively combining different types of ants.
Trivia
A player instantly becomes the ant colony's queen if the previous queen dies or goes absent during their reign. Wings are lost and do not regrow upon laying an egg.
Originally, the player had to shove the troph ball toward larvae to feed them. An error broke it for 4 days (July 14-18), fixed on July 18. Now, larvae click/tap the orange (or white) ball to get fed.
Many controls, such as the Queen Menu, digging, and grabbing soil, are unavailable on mobile device
Note
Ant Life is primarily a PC game. Most controls are PC only and there are very few things mobile users can do, like provide food (Troph button) and, if you're an Alate or Queen, lay eggs (Egg button). By the way, if you are Queen on mobile, it is not possible to have Autolay Off, that means the Queen will be laying eggs constantly.
