Welcome to the virtual sandbox game GridANT!
Players are in control of a single ant confined in a two-dimentional enclosure. The entire game is gridlocked and runs on "beats", starting at four beats per second.
Players start with 480 beats of life, approximately two minutes, and can increase their life by consuming sugar blocks. Life drains faster after each consumption. Every once in a while a sugar block will fall from the top of the enclosure.
Players can pick up and place blocks to construct pathways, rooms and to create structures. What can you make before the game is over?
Controls:
Left/Right - Move ant anticlockwise/clockwise around the enclosure.
Down - Pick up and place blocks in the direction the ant is facing.
Up - Consume a held sugar block.
Space - Switch to the other side of a one block wide gap.
Screenshots:
GridANT has an inbuilt screenshot function activated by the F12 key or by ctrl+shift+3. A screenshot is also take automatically when the game is over.
These screenshots can be found at a location like:
Windows - %appdata%\LOVE\GridANT
OS X - /Users/user/Library/Application Support/LOVE/GridANT
A note to Linux users:
I'm sorry, I cannot package GridANT for you as I have insufficient knowledge of, and access to, Linux operating systems. I have made the .love package is available for you should you know what to do with it.
