Game Details

General Description
In this game you control the tongue of an anteater as it probes to maze-like innards of an anthill. To advance to the next level you must eat all the ant eggs before the sun goes down, while avoiding the sting of roaming ants and spiders. While spiders cannot be eaten at all ants can be if they are caught by the tip of the tongue, also eating one of the queen ants at the bottom of the nest will eliminate all the enemies on the screen for a short period of time. Controls consisted of a four-way joystick and a single button which would cause the tongue to quickly withdraw.
