Native strategy and combat racing games for Mac

Choose between building a colony and surviving a combat race. Both product pages show the actual game, its controls and the scope of the included modes.

How to choose

Ants combines resource collection, construction, research and tactical combat in an authored campaign. Review its mission structure and screenshots if you want a strategy game with a colony economy.

Boom Racer is a single-player combat racer against AI rivals, with configurable vehicles and damage that affects driving. Check supported hardware and controls before buying; do not assume an online multiplayer mode.

Capabilities and limits

Ants

A native real-time strategy game in which workers forage, the colony builds and researches, and asymmetric armies fight across deformable 3D battlefields. It includes an eight-mission campaign, AI skirmishes, encrypted nearby one-on-one play and the original classic 2D campaign.

Consider before buying: Nearby multiplayer is for two compatible devices on the same local network; this release has no Internet matchmaking, hosted servers or ranked ladder. The game depicts stylised insect combat, dismemberment and gore. Physical-device multiplayer, VoiceOver, accessibility and performance can vary by Mac and network, so the automated release gates are not a promise about every hardware setup.

Boom Racer

A native solo demolition combat racer for Mac with 20 five-lap circuits, 3–11 AI rivals, breakaway vehicle parts, armed garage builds and local XP and scrap progression.

Consider before buying: Boom Racer is currently single-player only. It has no playable multiplayer, online matchmaking, ranked mode, Game Center competition, user-created tracks or cloud-save promise. A Game Center transport prototype in the source repository is incomplete and is not presented as a Direct-edition feature. It is an arcade demolition game rather than a driving, vehicle-damage or motorsport simulator. The Direct purchase includes all 10 items sold separately in the App Store edition, but normal driver-level and scrap progression remains, so other presets, parts, perks and garage choices are not necessarily available immediately. Progress is local to the current installation and should not be treated as an account-backed cross-device save. Release checks confirm that automated behaviors and each circuit passed the stated verification suites; they do not promise a particular frame rate, hardware performance, difficulty balance or bug-free play on every Mac.
