The player can only eat ants with the tip of the anteater's tongue. If an ant bites your tongue at any other location you lose a life. Pressing the second button will quickly retract the anteater's tongue. Worms will not harm you unless eaten head first, in which case you lose a life. Worms can be safely eaten from behind. Eating queen ants at the very bottom of the nest will temporarily clear all ants and worms from the screen. In higher levels spiders also appear and must be avoided. The object is to eat all of the larvae before time runs out, clearing the screen.
