Garden Guardian: Ant Invasion

Game created by Jackson Silver and Thomas Li.

Introduction

Garden Guardian is a 2D, top-down shooter game where the player is a toy tank in a flourishing garden. There's just one problem: ants! They've invaded the garden and only you can defeat them. In 6 minutes or less, make your way throughout the garden by defeating enemy ants, keeping yourself alive, and making your way through underground tunnel mazes to get to the next area of the game. 

Your final task is to defeat the Queen Ant whose responsible for this terrible invasion. Do so and you've won the game! Be careful, since getting attacked by any of the ants, through collision, spit balls, or even floor spikes, will make you lose health. Note that in order to use your weapons, you need to spend coins (1 coin per bullet and 5 coins per use),

Fortunately, there are items you can collect to help you along the way. Hearts and coins can be collected to replenish your health and bank account respectively. If you kill 10 ants, a juice box will be spawned, which, if consumed, can make you invincible for a short period of time and not render any damage from enemy weapons. If you kill 20 ants, a compass will spawn, which, if collected, will make your journey in the next maze much easier.
