The ants are hiding something! You and The Company's highly experimental
shrink ray technology are about to find out what.

This game has sound and music. You may need to enable autoplay to hear it.

Controls:

- WASD/Arrows => movement
- LMB => punch/break
- RMB => use item
- H => help
- M => open/close map
- number keys => select item

Hints:

- There is an objective! Keep searching. Use the map to see which areas are unexplored
- Throw pebbles to defend yourself against the ants
- Ants don't like the light
- Glow worms can be picked up. New glow worms take time to grow.
- Ants don't kill you or reset the level, they just return you to the surface.

Tool Credits:

- Music made with Ardour, the Calf plugins and an Oxygen 49
- Sounds made with sfxr
- Graphics made with GIMP
- Some assets processed using stb_image.h
- All else in nano
