How to Play
Sloppy Mary is a lady beetle with a voracious appetite!
Use your arrow keys to move her around the ant's nest so that she can eat the yummy ant larvae snacks!
Be warned! The ants don't like intruders, and if they get within smelling destance, they will try to take a bite out of her, as those ant jaws are quite dangerous.
Fortunately, Sloppy Mary has even larger jaws herself, and if she turns toward them, she can eat those ants before they have a chance to do her any damage.
But eating ants is not always advisable, because they will fill her belly much faster than the larvae, and cause her to expel one of her notoriously rancid dung piles.
Dung piles can prove to be very frustrating obstacles. Dung piles take a few seconds to build up their poisonous effect. This means that if you notice that Mary has dropped a dung pile near some larvae, try to clear away the larvae before the dung gets too dangerous. If you don't, it could spell Mary's demise later, as there is no way to leave the nest without clearing away all of the larvae.

Hints and Tips
While the goal is to clear each level of by munching on larvae snacks as fast as possible, there is strategy involved.
First, you should realize that the path you take can make a difference in now long it takes to eat them all. A lot of backtracking over cleared paths wastes time.
Also, there is the dilema whether to eat the ants. Sometimes the ants are in your way and it just seems easier to give it a quick chomp rather than turn back and find a new path, but you should remember that the ants are particularly filling and tough on Sloppy Mary's stomach, causing her to build up her dung levels much faster than eating the larvae snacks. Eating ants can result in more dung piles, which could end up in some rather aggrevating places.
It's always a good idea to keep your eye on the dung meter! You will want to be careful not to proceed up any dead-end paths while the dung meter is high, because it could mean that a dung pile is dropped blocking exit from that path... spelling certain peril.
Ants in the higher level nests move faster than lower levels. Some ants in the highest levels have speeds much faster than Mary, even though she has racing wheels, so it's a good idea to keep your distance and always have a plan ready to evade approaching ants.
The decision whether to eat ants is further complicated by the fact that you get more points for them. So, not only can you save time by eating ants, but in the end, your score could be higher. If you are playing for a high score, you will probably find it a must to eat those nasty ants. Unfortunately, your skills will have to be at their best, because eating ants often spells doom.
