Ant is a living powder element in Powder Game. It spreads as it falls, and moves back and forth on the ground, possibly to imitate living creatures, which makes it similar to liquids. But opposing to liquids it remains still in powders, without rising.

[edit] Properties

• Ant makes tunnels of solid. If it touches a solid, (other than torch, fan, or clone) it gets "charged" with that element and makes tunnels of it.
• Tunneling will stop if the available dots reach 999 or lower, similiar to clone and fireworks.
• Charged ants are unaffected by wind but are affected by drag.
• Powders don't sink in ants, as seen in animation.
• Ants are eaten by birds.

[edit] Movement

• Ant is mysterious. Its movement hasn't been studied, so we can't know how it moves. It may create a cloud-shaped form of noise or grow diagonal pipes. It has some similarities with Langton's Ant. Even if it's material has exploded (like C4), Ant may continue making tunnels. The only elements ant works with are C4, Ice, Vine, Wood, Metal, and Glass
• Ant seems to resemble the growth of crystals in the real world,as it makes pointed diagonal stripes along the screen. Players can stand on Ant.
