My Keyboard is Full of Ants!

My Keyboard is Full of Ants – Typing Puzzle Game

My Keyboard is Full of Ants is a creative typing puzzle game where every keystroke counts—literally. Created for Ludum Dare 56, the game turns an infested keyboard into a battlefield of words. Players must destroy cartoon ants by typing words that include the letters they’re crawling over.

The goal is not just to type quickly, but to think strategically. Each round, ants scatter across the keyboard and pause on certain keys. The challenge is to find words containing as many of those letters as possible. Typing those words eliminates ants sitting on the chosen keys. A game round ends when the board clears or when too many ants survive.

Scoring depends on a few key factors—word length, letter rarity, and how many ants you squash. As players progress, new ant types appear and extra upgrades become available, keeping each session fresh and unpredictable. The gameplay mixes elements of vocabulary puzzles with the satisfaction of classic arcade-style progression.

The concept feels a bit like Scrabble or Words with Friends, but with a quirky twist: instead of matching letters on a board, you’re purging your own keyboard of unwanted bugs. It’s fast to learn, surprisingly addictive, and rewards thoughtful word choice over raw speed.

Whether you love word games, arcade challenges, or just want something new to test your vocabulary, My Keyboard is Full of Ants delivers a clever and unusual way to make every keypress count.
