MYRÄVENTYR / ANTVENTURE

Tasked with creating a video-game for children this concept was developed based on the analogy of Platon’s cave, except that you play as an ant. The ant has his whole life lived in the underground colony where he was born. Hearing legend and tales about something called the surface and ’The Sun’ he started to dream about getting out of the colony and out on an adventure to find the (sun)light.

The story line consists of the ant going through underground tunnels, reaching the surface and climbing a tree until he reaches the crown in the pursuit of seeing the Sun. The levels are made up of small puzzles and obstacles that you have to solve to get to the next level.

Except reaching the top of the tree, there is a scoring system based on how much “sunlight” you collect, which is scattered throughout the levels.
