Say it Ant So!

Say it Ant So! is the sixth level in Oh No! More Zombies Ate My Neighbors by Jon Grunes.

Level Overview
Say it Ant so! is primarily a mine level that uses the pyramid palette. Introducing purple ants, which can be killed in one hit with the martian bubble gun. They take 10 hits to kill with the squirt gun, making it much harder to kill them. The purple ants are nearly as fast as the player, making using the squirt gun a hazardous option. On top of that, the linear design and limited movement options put many neighbors at a high amount of risk, making this level quite the early difficulty spike

Design
The player starts in the bottom left corner. To the right is number 5 in a lake, safe to save. Above him is number 10, a tourist couple, just to the right from the entrance of the actual mine. The mine is made of rectangle spaces connected one to the other. Upon entering, walk to the right of the first rectangle, then south to save number 8. Walk up north. The third rectangle has two possible paths, one north and one south. Number 7 and number 3 are to save in the south. The upper path leads to a series of rectangles leading to a single path. The next victim the player will find is number 9. Afterwards, the player's current rectangle location has a south path and a north path. The shortest is the south one, in which number 2 can be found. North leads to a small outdoors area. Upon entering the last rectangle, number 4 is found exiting from the left, number 1 in found exiting from the middle, and number 6 is at the right end of the rectangle. The level is pretty straightforward, with few paths to follow.
