Formicide

Formicide is a fast-paced 2D online platformer where teams of ants fight in destructible environments. You choose from versatile classes and use their weapons and abilities to take on the opposing team in objective-based matches.

Classes and abilities

There are 8 playable classes with different playstyles, including a tough soldier, a cloaking hunter and a turret-building engineer. You can choose each class’s ultimate ability, giving every class multiple ways to play. The game is easy to learn but difficult to master.

Matches and events

Teams compete to control point beacons, and matches last 5–10 minutes. Drop-in, drop-out servers let you join games already in progress. You can also host a public or private dedicated server.

Random events add powerups that can give your team an advantage. These include making bombs rain from the sky and unleashing a swarm of enemy-seeking hunter worms.

Maps and terrain

The game has 7 playable maps, including a sun-baked desert, snowy mountains and a coral reef. The terrain is destructible: you can demolish a path through the ground toward enemies or build dirt barricades for protection.
