Antz: Panic in the Anthill!

Description

Antz: Panic in the Anthill! is a 2001 Windows action-arcade game developed by Light & Shadow Production and based loosely on DreamWorks’ animated film Antz. The game plays much like Bomberman, with the player controlling Z, the ant hero, inside maze-like underground levels. To progress, you must place explosive mushrooms to clear rocks, defeat rival insects, collect power-ups, and avoid hazards while racing toward the exit. With 50 levels, three difficulty modes, and both single-player and two-player local gameplay, the title mixes simple maze destruction with fast-paced dodging and strategy. Despite its colorful cartoon theme, the game received lukewarm reviews for being repetitive and unoriginal, but it remains a quirky piece of early-2000s licensed gaming.
