Amaurote

In Amaurote, you must clear the city of Amaurote from a dangerous insect invasion using an Arachnus 4 ship and a starting fund of 5 million units.

The game features three ant types—drones, queens, and scouts—each with a distinct role. Queen ants are the most dangerous because they generate new ants. Funds can be spent on improved weaponry, including equipment required to destroy the queens, as well as ship repairs across the game's 2500 screens.

Bombs are the primary weapons, so firing requires careful attention to bounce and distance to avoid being caught in your own explosions.
