Ant Tracks

Ant Tracks starts up as the ant colony returns home after a successful foraging trip. With leaves, bugs and slugs in tow, the ants just want to store their booty in the right place. That's where you come in. Point them in the right direction while avoiding the nasty dragonflies, spiders and insect eating plants in this 20 level puzzle game.

Click on the arrows to point your ants in the right direction. If the ant places his booty in the wrong storage hole, it (and the ant who put it there) will be rejected quite forcefully. Also, click on the various enemies who come calling to get them out of the way before they take one of your ants off to lunch.

The music is good and the gameplay is fun. The graphics are great, with a real attention to detail especially in the background. The only real issue I had was hitting the dragonfly (in the nose). Sometimes it worked, other times it didn't.

It reminds me of the package transport game that came out a few years ago. You had to get the packages to the right ship, truck or plane based on its color coding. I enjoyed that game, but this one is better. For instance, if you fail to make your quota in this game, you don't have to start over from the beginning level!
