Description
Ants love food, and these ants are no exception. In fact, they love it so much that they've engineered a special assortment of tools to help collect the tasty morsels faster than ever! Armed with a high powered ant cannon and an unlimited amount of willing participants, the ants are determined to raid every last picnic table known to man.
Steer your ants through levels and obstacles by using 5 different special power ups and their ant cannon to get what they desire most... Food!!
How to Play
Cannon Controls:
WASD - move your cannon
Space - hold to charge up your cannons power, release to fire your ant
**Must have power ups selected before you can fire your cannon!
Ant Controls (In air):
WASD - speed up/slow down your ant and move side to side
Space - uses currently selected power up
E - switches between current power up and secondary power up
R - Reset/Reload to cannon. If you've made a bad shot and don't feel like waiting for your ants inevitable death, press this button to reload your next ant and try again!
Mouse:
Click and drag the mouse to move the camera
Objective:
The objective for each level is to land a certain amount of ants on the picnic table that is designated by the arrow. After you've landed the necessary amount of ants, you'll advance to the next level. If you can manage to land on the food items on the picnic table, you'll receive bonus points to your score!
The faster you land your ants on the picnic table, the higher your score will be. Your score will also decrease with the more ants you fire, so try to make every shot count!

Great to see that you've taken note of comments. Not enough people do that. This is a great game. Are there any hidden secrets?? Would be great to see some. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Such an addcting game would need many more levels to keep people satisfied though. Very well done 5/5. I'm preempting the finished piece.

Thanks for the responses everyone!
Difficulty has been one of the biggest issues so far. We didn't want it to seem too easy, but it seems we've overstepped that goal. We'll likely be tuning the game to be easier to reach and obtain the food.
Thanks for the ideas and feedback, BowWow200. A few of the ideas you mentioned we're actually considered during development, and will likely make an appearance as we continue to update. The input on controls and difficulty is greatly appreciated, as we want to make our game as fun and creative as possible, while keeping the frustrating aspects to a minimum.
