Crumb Crew

How to play

Your goal is to let the ants eat the whole pixel picture. Boxes of ants wait in lines, and only the front box of a line can be sent. A sent box takes one of 5 spots, and its ants march in from the bottom to eat crumbs of their color. An empty box leaves and frees its spot.

Ants can only reach a crumb in the bottom row or next to an eaten crumb. If all 5 spots fill up and no ants can move, you are stuck and must try again. Tap a box on a phone. On a computer, click it, press 1 to 4, or use the arrow keys and Enter. H gives a hint and P pauses.

Tips and tricks

• Start with colors at the bottom of the picture, so their ants can eat right away.
• Before sending a color near the top, check which boxes will open a path to it first.
• Each hint or extra spot you use takes a star off the 3, down to 1. Replay a level to raise its stars.
• Mystery boxes hide their color until they reach the front. A frozen box melts after as many other boxes finish as its number shows.
• You get a free hint for every 5 new levels you finish, and one for your first Daily Picnic each day.
• Rush starts at 90 seconds. Each finished picture adds time, but the bonus shrinks from 12 seconds to 3. Getting stuck costs 10 seconds.

What makes it fun

Each move is one tap, but the order matters, because ants eat their way up from the bottom and you only have 5 spots. Each world adds one idea: Picnic Park teaches the basics, Mystery Meadow adds mystery boxes, Frosty Pond adds frozen boxes and a fourth line, and Night Market mixes everything. Finished pictures go into your Picnic Album, and ones you also finish in the last two worlds get a gold frame.
