I gone with the snake theme.

You gotta train these ants to get a continuous(sp?) line from A to B. But its a test of how greedy you gonna be because every time you eat an apple you get a score of how many ants in are in the line. So you may only need say 20 ants to get from A to B and complete a level but you will be getting a big score if you can get a line of 100-odd ants.

Notes:
The ant model is a placeholder. So is background image.
There's only 3 levels to try (level 3 got two A's instead of A & B so you can't complete it.)
Lives are unlimited for this small demo.
Bugs I know about and will soon fix - apples sometimes appear in the ant line and going sideways on a slope don't work good.

Piccys:

Nice game, how about making the apple rot as time passes?

I'm downloading it now. Great idea .

I've got a few panoramic backdrops I won't be using if you'd like.

@ Emperor Baal
Thats some mighty fine marching.

@ Mouse
Not sure if I gonna stick with the textured plain backdrop or go for a skybox (so I can do some sexy camera stuff). Could you maybe email me 1 of your backdrops? mikenmaz@btinternet.com
Congrats on the new Mod status BTW.

@ Ilya
I've made a level editor so I can churn out lottsa levels before deadline, but its far from user friendly at the mo'. If I have time before deadline then I'll make it better and enter it with my game.

@ Everyone
Thanks for trying it.

Holy crap. Cool. I love it.

Makes me glad I'm not entering this category.

Try cell-shading the apples (just put another apple scaled -110,-110,-110 and colored black) I think it could look good. It might need a little tweaking or making of a new model to make it look really good.
