Play as a worker ant whose existence in its colony gets completely overthrown by a parasitic infection. Survive using your newfound abilities in top-down bullet-hell fashion.

We recommend to play this game with keyboard and mouse. Playing with a gamepad is also possible. If you have an older system we recommend downloading the executable file for better performance.
