Ps: I couldn't enable the fullscreen button, because the keyboard input isn't working with it, and I'm using the escape key in game so you'll have to zoom into the page)

Your goal

Destroy all enemy anthills without getting destroyed!

How to play

When you start the game, there is a little tutorial, but it may first be a little bit unintuitive.

With the left and right arrow keys you can move this cursor:

It points to an anthill.

This is your anthill:

This is the enemy anthill:

If you select your anthill ant press SPACE, you’ll see this panel:

If you press SPACE again, you can assign your ants different tasks:

  • Search food. Search food so that your ants can live properly. If your anthill runs out of food, it will loose HP.
  • Attack: Walk around the map to kill the enemy ants in your way.
  • Go home: Ask your ants which are attacking or in war to come back into the anthill.

Press SPACE to validate your action.

However, if you selected an enemy anthill, you’ll see this panel:

It lets you send ants to the selected anthill, to damage it. It is very powerful!

Validate your selection with SPACE.

v1.0.1:
