TINY TYKE
TINY TYKE
You're the size of an ant.
The bugs are not.
Make friends fast.
The bugs are not.
Make friends fast.
You're a tyke no taller than a blade of grass, camped in a backyard where every bug is bigger than you. You carry no weapon, so you tame the animals that do. Ride them across the yard, work with them in the anthill, and answer to the one that hunts at night.
Your rideable crew
Ant
The hauler. Carries your camp and brews fungus in its pack as it walks. |
Jumping spider
The vault. Leaps the crack and spins silk so the others can follow. |
Beetle
The ram. Shatters clods, shoves stones, and bowls over whatever bites. |
Soldier ant
The guard. Holds its post in the anthill's tunnels until you win it over. |
Wolf spider
The hunter. Owns the yard after dark. |
Three places, one yard
|
🌼 The flowerbed
Your camp: gather twig and berry, craft at the bench, and tame your first ant.
|
🐜 The anthill
Two floors of tunnels, with boulders to roll, plates to hold down and slab doors between them.
|
💧 The pond edge
The shore the colony was digging towards.
|
|
☀️ Day
Forage, craft, brew, and win the trust of animals ten times your size.
|
🌙 Night
The wolf spider hunts. Keep near the fire, or ride something that can bite back.
