Ant Game

The Ant Game is a nice relaxing linked match game. This game will take your mind off of the stresses in your life as you meditate on photos of Ant colonies and ant life. The first round gives you plenty of time, but each round after that shortens by 20 seconds. You are encouraged to play this game for several rounds because meditating on this game will give you a sense of both calm and accomplishment, indeed ant games and ant puzzles are known to give you the sensation of the release of happy chemicals in your brain and give you a steady level of satisfaction.

The game details are as follows: The forward arrow in Ant Game takes you to the next round, while the middle button, the arrow that circles around, allows you to repeat a round with the same amount of time. Occasionally, the pieces of the puzzle will be configured in such a way that no link matches will manifest, therefore you have the opportunity to use the "Refresh" button three times to change the pieces around and allow you to move forward. (No obstacles will block your path to victory and accomplishment.) Also, sometimes you need a little help along your journal. Just hit the "Find" button and that link match that originally evaded your initial perception will be connected for you. It's okay, we're all human. (Sometimes, it's okay to just ask for help. As humans, we're meant to depend on each other.)

Some people call Ant Game addictive, but I think it's a good addiction, sort of like the feeling you get when staring at your Ant wallpaper at home. Or very much like the feeling you get from chocolate or zen meditation.
