A is for Aardvark

Written by Sander Alsema for the 10-liner competition 2025.

--- Description & Instructions ---

While wandering through the savannah, Kevin suddenly feels an appetite

building up. If he were a human being, then he would have had a serious

problem. Kevin, however, is not a human being but an aardvark. For him

the absence of a McDonald's franchise doesn't mean certain death from

starvation. Normally he would simply hurl out his tongue towards the

first ant or termite crossing his path, but not today. Under the

influence of narcotics Kevin's head has become detached from his body,

making it too hard to catch anything all by himself. This is where you

come in...

Press 'A' to let Kevin Aardvark know when to stick out his tongue.

Every time you catch an ant, Kevin's head floats to the right. Because

this is where the ants are coming from, your job becomes increasingly

harder. Every ant you miss will cost you a life, and you only have three

of those. After that, it's game over. But should you manage to catch 30

ants, then Kevin has had enough, and you will win the game!

Afterwards, press any key to play again.
