The briefing

About this game

Fire Ant is an action-platform game released in 1983. You control an ant on a mission to rescue the queen, who has been taken hostage by scorpions and held in the eighth chamber.

Progress through scorpion-patrolled tunnels by collecting objects scattered across the chambers. Keys open yellow doors, while explosives can detonate walls; placing objects correctly often triggers chain reactions that remove obstacles. Scorpion eggs provide bonus points when collected. After rescuing the queen, the game resets to the first chamber.
