Atom Ant

Atom Ant is an action platform game based on the Hanna-Barbera cartoon. As Atom Ant, you must prevent the destruction of the city after “Mad Dog” Jackson plants bombs on its buildings and threatens to detonate them.

Gameplay

Each building contains eight bombs, and you have four minutes to clear the level. Atom Ant can carry only one bomb at a time, so each bomb must be taken to the atomiser at the top of the building for defusing before another can be collected.

Wasps, helicopters, and other enemies patrol the buildings. Contact costs a life, while losing all lives ends the game. Failing to defuse every bomb before time runs out also ends the game. Time bonuses and extra lives can be collected during play.
