Anthill robbery

Thief ant on the loose — tap where you want it to scurry and watch it snatch loot right under the colony's nose.

You're guiding a rogue ant through a series of dirt tunnels, snatching food and avoiding guard ants. The controls are dead simple but frustrating in the best way: click ahead of the ant to send it scurrying that direction. The first time I tried to swipe a crumb, I clicked a bit too far and the little guy marched straight into a soldier ant's patrol route. Panic clicking on the ant to stop it works, but it's clunky on purpose — you have to think two steps ahead like a real ant brain. It's not a long game, but the levels ramp up. Some later anthills have multiple exits and dead ends. I kept coming back to beat my best time, which is a good sign for a browser game.

To make the ant move, click in front of the ant in the direction you want it to move. To stop the ant, click on it or right-click on the mouse. If you have a touchscreen device, tap the screen with your finger.

Click just a hair ahead of the ant for fine control — long clicks send it sprinting into trouble. Right-clicking on the ant is your emergency brake; get used to it before the guards show up. Watch for loose dirt piles — they often mark the spot of a hidden stash. On touchscreen, tap and hold to move continuously rather than lots of small taps. Don't get greedy: grab the easy loot first, then loop back for the risky stuff. The ant keeps walking if you click once, so plan two moves ahead around corners.
