If you're having issues with the web version, please try the Windows build. It's much more performant and stable.

Dodge with the beat of the marching ants! Watch the captains for their commands, but be careful, some of them may be phonies...

How to Play

  • Simple controls: Left/Right arrow keys to move
  • The ants move on the beat for the first 3 measures, then they will move according to the captain's commands on the 4th measure.
  • The ants do not move on red (phony) captain commands.

Enjoyed this twist on the rhythm games. Predicting where your player will go next turn and dodging an ant at the last second is very satisfying. Those repeating sound patterns got me confused at the start. (Like I expected it to move on the beat but it didn't)

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed! I agree I could have adjusted the sounds a bit to make it a bit clearer when the movement changed/returned back to normal.
