Antbuster > **[Antbuster](https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/378646)** > > Your goal is to prevent that the ants get the cake and lead to the anthill. My score: 12162…my personal best. Note: this is NOT the money-hack version, but the straight version. ---

To answer your question, i’d say true. ---

[QUOTE=Rhythmdvl] Fun game. What’s the “money hack” version? [/QUOTE] It’s a version where, instead of buying and upgrading your defenses with the points you earn as you go along, you start out with 2.6 million money points, so you can just about cover every square inch of field with cannons.

It’s a fun game, but the flaw seems to be that no matter what you do your weapons are no match for the ants at around level 70 or so. It would be a better game if you got more cash per ant at the higher levels. ---

My first time playing I had the option to buy a cannon called something like “Barrier Down” as an upgrade from Double Cannon II. When I tried the hacked version to see all the cannons, it wasn’t there, any ideas? ---
