About
The beloved childhood pastime of lazy Sundays spent with a magnifying glass and an ant farm finally arrives on the DS in this challenging and addictive strategy simulation that trains your ant minions - as well as your brain - through the use of the stylus. You must zap, tap, and manipulate your ants to make them tough enough to survive a variety of harsh environments and strong enough to defend the planet against evil alien robot insect invaders! It’s up to you to build the best Ant Nation!
