Ardy the Aardvark

Ardy the Aardvark is an action, arcade, platform, and puzzle game inspired by the arcade title Anteater. Players guide the aardvark’s tongue through an underground maze to eat drops of food while avoiding worms, stinging ants, and spiders.

Worms can pass through the tongue, but they are fatal when they touch its tip. Ants and spiders instantly kill Ardy when they touch any part of the tongue. In the lowest underground levels, two special objects can clear all enemies from the screen when touched by the tongue.
