A downloadable game

Basic Game instructions:

Click on a light brown square to order your ants (black squares) to dig it. Your ants can only dig squares they can pathfind/move to, and they cannot move through the dirt, or the light brown squares. To make more ants, grab the nest from the menu at the top, and place it down on a light brown square. You cannot dig the nest. You should connect the nest up to your tunnel system, as otherwise your newborn ants will not be able to leave the nest. 

In the top right corner is your food bar, next to it is a piece of text showing how mcuh food you have left. You can right click on an ant to order it to get food.

In the top are the different upgrade paths: defense, evolution, and ritual. At the moment, there are two levels each of defense and evolution, ritual has not been implemented yet. You can hover over an upgrade's colored square to get information about the upgrade, and click on that square to buy the upgrade.

Eventually the fire ants(red squares) will invade your colony. If a fire ant collides with one of your ants, the fire ant dies, and the ant loses a life. Ants have 1 life unless you increase this with upgrades in the evolution or defense paths. Eventually, fire ants will pathfind to your nest. If a fire ant reaches your nest, your nest will begin to start producing fire ants.

Additional notes:

Gaining a level in evolution gives you access to an evolution tool to evolve your ants. To use this tool, grab it from the shop, and click on one of your ants with it. Note that evolving your ants costs a specific amount of food, so the evolution will be canceled if you do not have this much food. You can use these tools an unlimited amount of times(given that you pay the food cost each time).
