Play The Ant Bully (U)(Rising Sun) Online

I picked up The Ant Bully for the Game Boy Advance back in 2006, a time when licensed movie games were everywhere. It was published by Midway Games, and it’s based on that animated film where a kid gets shrunk down to insect size. On the GBA, it fits right in with other platformers and action-adventure titles from that era, nothing too flashy but solid for what it is.

You control Lucas, the boy who’s been magically reduced, and your goal is to help the ant colony survive various threats. The gameplay involves a lot of digging through dirt tunnels, platforming across leaves and twigs, and using a peashooter to fend off enemies like beetles and spiders. You also solve simple puzzles, often by carrying objects or triggering switches to open new paths. The pacing is fairly straightforward, with clear objectives in each area, though some jumps and enemy patterns require careful timing. It feels like a compact, focused adventure that captures the scale and tension of being small in a big backyard world.
