Play Ant Hill Online

Game Overview

Ever fire up an old MS-DOS game and immediately get sucked in? Ant Hill does exactly that—you're just a tiny ant at first, scrambling through dirt tunnels, grabbing crumbs before some beetle decides you look tasty. The controls are dead simple (mostly arrow keys and frantic clicking), but before long, you're managing a whole colony, assigning workers, and praying your food stash lasts the winter.

It's got that weirdly satisfying early-PC-game loop where everything feels chaotic, but you slowly figure out little tricks—like how leaving a trail of pheromones helps your ants find food faster, or why you should never underestimate centipedes. The pixel art is charmingly janky, and the sound effects? Pure nostalgia. One minute you're laughing at how ridiculous it is to micromanage ants, the next you're genuinely stressed because a spider just wiped out half your workers.

Honestly, it's the kind of game you boot up for "just five minutes" and suddenly it's 1993 again. If you've got a soft spot for weird old sims, this one's a blast.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
