The Crawlies â€¦

MGLXLVI â€“ Game 6 ~ Anteater

Nominated by gamers: @creech77, @Evan04 and @Fire_Power

ROMSet 106: anteater

Game Story:

The game has four different critters which the anteater can get to score points and each of them have different point values. Ant larvaes are worth 10 points, ants are worth 100 points, worms are worth 200 points and a Queen Ant is worth 1,000 points. Also, an extra anteater is rewarded every 20,000 points. You cannot touch the worm's head, but you can munch him from behind. Worms and spiders cannot be killed unless they reach the tip of your tongue. The spider comes out at night and travels down the tongue until it reaches the tip. It can only be removed by eating a Queen Ant which clears all the critters from the screen. The days get shorter as the game progresses, consequently the spider comes out earlier. The spider is truly the nemesis of this game.

This is a game I considered nominating - first encountered by me during another MGL - I now have this on the FPGA BitKit... looking forward to this game that I think is great but I'm not very good at!
