A cozy ant-farm simulation inside a birthday cake. Direct the colony toward a commissioned shape, manage flavours and sell the finished cross-section.
A colony of ants lives in a layered birthday cake. A bakery commissions a heart, star, moon or crown; guide the workers to tunnel that shape before the customer loses patience.

Why it's worth your time
The original cake, ant simulation and local save are preserved. Actual mouse input and changes in excavated cells are tested; this is not a full-economy balance audit.
