Boris the Bee was kidnapped by a group of anti-social ants and his cousin Barnabee must rescue him.[1] The player must travel through an underground ant complex; which has four different entrances into the above-ground world.[1] Ants must be avoided; as they force the player to lose strength.[1] Pollen must be accessed through flowers in order to gain lost strength.[1]

The general arrangement of the game is a maze; flowers will remove barriers elsewhere in the complex.[1] The individual screens are also self-contained mazes.[1] Each screen may have more than one exit.[1]

Reception

Antics was placed at number 46 in the official top 100 list that was created by British gaming magazine Your Sinclair.

gollark: You don't need to go around having actual humans for everything though, that's the thing.
gollark: So you want to also do space farming? That involves a whole lot of shipping materials around and would be pretty expensive.
gollark: They'll probably lean heavily on automation since shipping up food and physical crew and whatnot would be expensive.
gollark: It seems hard to repeatedly accidentally bring up somewhat politically charged topics.
gollark: Well, general annoyingness, violating the politics rule.
