Who's the Pest?
|
‘Who’s the Pest?’ explores the entwined and co-dependent love/hate story between humans and insects. As a human in 'Who's the Pest?', you must defend your prized cabbages from voracious ants who have placed aphids on the leaves to farm for honeydew. Using, rocks, apples, logs and twigs, you direct the marching ant colony away from your valuable crops and into the waiting jaws of insect predators. Playing for the ant team, you have only pheromones to guide you. You must make your way to the cabbages and back while avoiding the almighty praying mantis, the snacking huntsman spider, the easily distracted devil's coach horse beetle and the fearsome bombardier beetle - a creature whose violent internal chemistry emits a fatal acid spray.

Mission Migration
|
In the spring and the fall, many birds fly long distances in search of food, water, shelter and space: the same basic things that you need to survive. Along these routes, they encounter many different types of habitats, from country and forest to neighborhoods and big cities, and at times, encounter dangers from both natural and human-made hazards. In this game you will try to help your flock migrate safely by learning how choices you make each and every day around your home, school, and neighborhood can affect the fate of these migrating birds - in both positive and negative ways.
