Is that correct?

Yep -- pretty much all of the ants need to be taken by the front of your tongue if they touch any other part it kills you - the spider and worm can touch your tongue but you can only eat the worm from behind if you touch the front portion of the worm it kills you so you have to either avoid him or get him from behind - the spider can't be killed and will go to the back of your tongue and start to follow it  until it reaches the tip  which kills you - only way to kill the spider is to grab one of the two queen ants at the bottom of the screen which kills all enemies on screen including the spider and restarts him from the top of the screen buying you time to clear more of the screen ( So save them until the spider is on screen if possible !)

Sounds easier than it gets as you have to keep an eye on the sides of the screen and get back to the ants before they touch your tongue and once the spider is on the tongue you really can't get around most of the screen to prevent the ants from getting you so you need to head for one of the queens. As you can see in the video I made it is pretty easy to mess up and do some stupid things that cost you a life (ie. the first 2 kills I had and miss timing getting the queen at the end by a split second)

Overall a pretty fun game with a simple concept that is more of a challenge than it would seem to be.

A less low score for me. What sort of difficulty multiplier do I get for playing with a 1-year-old on my lap, always lurching for the controls?

29,220--forgot to turn off the flash. Time to dust the monitor glass...

14,010.  Forgive the potato pic and ABJ initials. 

Beating the first level on this game is borderline orgasmic.  I thought I'd never do it.

I did finally play at lunch.  It is harder than it looks.  It's fun though.
