The winner of a recent Gamemaker competition, Ancient Ant Adventures is a 2D isometric arena shooter -- that style of game in which opponents can approach from any direction and you must shoot them all -- in which you play a team of ants with somewhat different capabilities. Movement is WASD (your team follows your commander around), aiming and shooting via the mouse, and slain enemies drop stars you can collect to purchase new weapons and improve your capabilities between levels.
Nothing real innovative about the gameplay here, but the graphics are cheerfully pastel, the action suitably frenetic, and it's nicely polished for a freeware game. Good for what it is, in other words.
