A pixel art puzzle game built around ant swarms
Food Hunt: Pixel Puzzle is a puzzle game for Android in which you control colonies of ants. Each level is a picture made of colored pixels, and every pixel is a piece of food. Your job is to clear the picture by sending ants to eat every piece of food that matches a color.
The listing is aimed at people who like light puzzle games that still ask for some planning. It is rated PEGI 3.
How a level plays out
You tap a color to release a swarm of ants. The swarm moves toward the food pixels of that color and eats them. Once every pixel of that color is gone, the space it occupied opens up.
You then pick the next color and repeat the process until the last pixel is cleared, which ends the level. The listing describes this as chaining from one color to the next, so each cleared color sets up the following move.
Planning swarm order on crowded boards
The listing says each puzzle asks you to pick the right swarm and plan your moves before you act. Which color you clear first changes the space available for the rest of the board.
The developer describes the gameplay as relaxing but with real strategic depth, so the game is meant to reward careful ordering as well as quick taps.
Puzzle count, artwork and ant animation
The listing advertises hundreds of pixel art puzzles, each one a large food map to clear. Each puzzle is a separate picture, so the variety comes from the images themselves.
The ants are animated, and the developer lists their individual personalities and cute animations as part of the presentation.
