Play Anteater Online
Whip your tongue through maze tunnels to snag larvae, dodging angry ants that’ll chomp anything but the tip—one wrong flick costs you a life. Those worms? Gotta eat ‘em from behind or it’s game over.
Game Overview
Anteater is this weirdly addictive arcade maze game from 1982 where you play as—you guessed it—an anteater. Your job? Whip your crazy-long tongue through ant tunnels to slurp up larvae before time runs out. Sounds simple, but here’s the catch: ants will bite if they touch any part of your tongue except the very tip. One wrong move and chomp—there goes a life.
There’s a button to yank your tongue back fast, which you’ll be smashing constantly once those ants start swarming. And watch out for the worms—you can only eat them from behind, because apparently anteaters have table manners. Mess that up, and it’s another life gone.
It got copied a bunch back in the day (look up "Aardvaark" if you don’t believe me), but the original’s still the best. Just try not to get too frustrated when an ant sneaks up on your tongue for the tenth time in a row.
