What is Color Ants
"Color Ants" is a mobile-friendly puzzle game where you tap blocks marked with a color and a number to have tiny ants carry away a pixel art picture bit by bit. From the four blocks lined up in front, tap one whose color is currently exposed, and the ants carry the exposed pixels of that color to the nest, as many as the number shown. When a block is used up, the next block is refilled from the queue below, and the picture is worn away from the outside in. Because a "guaranteed-solvable order" is adopted for the queue at load time, there are no unfair dead ends. When no usable color is in front, use Skip to send a block to the back of the queue. All processing happens entirely inside your browser, with nothing sent to any external server.
Frequently asked questions
- How do I play Color Ants?
- From the four "color + number" blocks lined up in front, tap one whose color is currently exposed. The tiny ants carry away the exposed pixels of that color, as many as the number shown, and when a block is used up the next is refilled from the queue below. Once every pixel of the picture is cleared away, the stage is complete.
- Which pixels do the tiny ants carry?
- The ants only carry pixels exposed to the open air. The targets are surface pixels adjacent to empty cells reachable from outside the board; pixels trapped inside cannot be carried until the outer surface is worn away and they become exposed. They are collected in order from the outer edge inward.
- Is my data saved or sent anywhere?
- No. All game processing happens entirely inside your browser, with nothing sent to or stored anywhere external. No installation is required, so you can just play.
