Each ant is strapped with TNT explosives. Detonating the TNT will cause the ant and its surroundings to incinerate. When your ant dies, another ant from the colony will step up to the challenge. Use TNT to break a hole in the pillars. Every pillar you overcome will earn you one point. If the time runs out, the game is over.
Controls: W,A,S,D or Up,Down,Left,Right controls the ant. SPACE detonates the TNT.
This was better than I expected it to be. The time limit forces you to memorize the level as you uncover it until you can basically speedrun the entire thing. I just wish the difficulty ramped up more, because after 10 points things just get too easy. The exploding ants are indeed a very unconventional weapon.
As I played I became increasingly frustrated by the restart time, and the slow pan back to the start. Adding some enemies or moving platforms would not have been amiss. Also, the first time I played an unbeatable level spawned (detonation needed to be high up on a pillar, and there was no way to get up high enough, possibly because two blocks spawned on top of one another, making it impossible to land on the lower block).
