Bugs don't usually make great video game characters? Cats, dogs and hedgehogs? Sure, but ants? Not so much. Undaunted by this, Pocket Gems Publishing slapped pairs of googly eyes onto these insects and tossed them into its latest iPhone and iPad release, Amazing Ants, a free-to-play puzzle game that essentially breaks down into traveling from point A to point B. Yeah right, if only it were that easy.
Each of the game's 99 levels ask you to set three ants in motion in the hope of reaching the exit in the quickest times possible, but there's a catch. Along the way, each ant must pick up a piece of fruit, and the developers make this especially difficult by placing the cherries, apples and other tasty bits in hard-to-reach places. What ensues is a hefty dose of micromanagement as you map out a strategy beforehand and then keep tabs on each bug. One mistake, however slight, will force you to restart from the beginning.
