You're playing as a small ant tasked with helping a friend retrieve lost snacks. The Quavers mascot, Colin Curly, has dropped his favourite snacks down a giant ant-hill, and it's up to you to navigate through puzzles and obstacles to get them back.
The ant-hill is filled with domino-like tiles and closed gates that must be opened by moving dominoes into place. As you control the ant from a standard third-person platformer perspective, you'll need to carefully plan your moves to create a chain reaction of falling dominoes. Each domino tile has its own unique marking, which will determine how it behaves when pushed or hit.
The game requires quick thinking and strategy to complete each level within the time limit. As you progress through the levels, you'll encounter different types of tiles with various effects, such as explosive tiles that clear the way for other tiles or tiles that create bridges over gaps. The goal is to navigate your ant through the levels without falling from too great a height.
Push-Over on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) challenges players with its puzzle-solving gameplay and timed level structure. With each completed level, you'll receive a password that allows you to resume the game at your last checkpoint.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
*G.I. Ant* is a puzzle-platforming game where players control a highly trained soldier ant on a mission to navigate the mind-teasing "Domino Domain." To progress through the game's nine distinct continents, players must solve environmental brainteasers by setting off chain reactions with domino blocks to trigger the exit door on each screen.
Story
The Mission
G. I. ANT™ is a soldier ant. He's extremely clever, and highly trained in tactical maneuvers. What's more, he's extraordinarily strong and super smart!
His latest mission is to gain access to the crazy world of Captain Rat's Treasure Caves. Very straightforward.....NOT!
Domino Domain
You see, this particular cave is a tunnel entrance to Domino Domain - a mini-world comprised of nine different continents. G.I. must negotiate many screens of mind-teasing problems.
Each level has a door to the next. To open the door, the 'Trigger' domino-block must be felled by causing a chain reaction with all of the other domino-blocks in that level. Pretty easy.....NOT!

How to Play
The Objective
The object of the game is to manipulate the blocks in order to achieve a 'chain reaction' of falling dominoes within a certain time limit.
The LAST domino to fall must always be the TRIGGER block. ALL other blocks, apart from the red STOPPER blocks, must have fallen before the TRIGGER block.
Controlling G.I. ANT
G.I. ANT can pick up, carry, and place any of the blocks into different positions, except for the TRIGGER block which cannot be moved.
To push over a block, G.I. Ant must get into Pushing Position:
•
Get behind the block and walk to the inside / back of the block.
•
Press the Control Pad UP to get into this position.
•
Press the A Button to push the block over if pushing to the right.
•
Press the Y Button to push the block over if pushing to the left.
You have just ONE push to succeed. If successful, you must exit the open door within a time limit.
Completing a Puzzle
If you complete the puzzle successfully within the time limit, a screen will appear reading: "CONGRATULA-TIONS, YOU COMPLETED THE PUZZLE, YOU GAIN A TOKEN."
•
Press the A or B Button to return to the Pushover Screen.
•
Press the Start Button from the Pushover Screen to take you to the next puzzle.
Using Pass Codes
You may skip to any puzzle by entering its Pass Code at the Pushover Screen and then pressing the Start Button.
The Pass Code for each puzzle appears after that puzzle is played. To change the Pass Code, use the Control Pad.
Running Out of Time
If you exit the scene after the clock has reached zero and begun counting negative time in red, a screen will read: "CONGRATULATIONS, YOU COMPLETED THE PUZZLE...BUT YOU DID NOT DO IT FAST ENOUGH! YOU HAVE _____ TOKENS..."
From here, you can make a selection using the Control Pad up or down, then press the B Button to choose:
•
Use A Token (to go on to the next puzzle)
•
Replay The Puzzle
•
Quit
G.I. ANT's Abilities and Limits
G.I. ANT is tough and can fall from a pretty good height with just a dazed head. However, if he falls too far, he will disintegrate and the level must be restarted. He can also get crushed if caught under a toppling block.
He can run up and down steps with blocks, but if he jumps with a block, it is likely to shatter. He is strong enough to carry blocks along the surface and up and down ladders.
Due to the energy exerted to manipulate the blocks, G.I. ANT only has enough strength for ONE push per screen.
Tokens
When you complete a screen successfully and within the time limit, you will be awarded a TOKEN. Tokens can be used in two ways:
•
1. If you complete a screen but have gone beyond the time limit, you can use a TOKEN to progress to the next level.
•
2. If you fail a screen for any reason other than overrunning the time limit, you can use a TOKEN to replay the screen from the point at which you 'pushed'. The screen will be set up as you arranged previously, and the time will be reset to the time at which you made the push.
Bundles of Captain Rat's Cash
On each level, there is a screen which, when completed successfully, will award you with a bundle of cash. The specific screens are unknown, but you will need to collect all nine bundles in order to play the very final screen.
You will not be awarded your bundle if you have used a token to complete that particular screen.
Pause and Help
Pressing START during gameplay will PAUSE the game and bring up a help screen showing and describing the 'Special' domino-blocks.
Additionally, once you have overrun the time limit, this screen will also display a HINT on how to complete the current screen.
Special Domino-Blocks
Many blocks have different symbols, signifying the particular property of that block. When positioned elsewhere, they will act as a NORMAL block.
•
DELAY (Diagonally, Half Yellow, Half Red): When hit, these will not fall for a few moments, causing the 'hitter block' to rebound off it.
•
SPLITTER (Horizontally, Half Yellow, Half Red): When hit (usually by a falling block), these will split and knock over blocks on both sides of them.
•
VANISHER (Two Horizontal Red Stripes): When hit, this will knock the next block over, then vanish as it hits the ground.
•
EXPLODER (Vertically, Half Yellow, Half Red): When hit, this will explode, leaving a gap in the platform.
•
STOPPER (Plain Red): When hit, the block will rebound off it. This block cannot topple.
•
TRIGGER (Three Horizontal Red Stripes): This must be the last block to fall to open the door to the next screen.
Dos & Don'ts
•
DO ensure that the TRIGGER block is the last block to topple.
•
DON'T allow a block to fall directly onto another block, unless the lower block is a SPLITTER.
•
DON'T allow any block to fall onto another to create rubble.
•
DO keep your exit door clear.
Items & Weapons
NORMAL
These fall just once, except when they are placed on the edge of steps or at the edge of a gap, where they will tumble until they reach a flat surface or another block.
TUMBLER
These continue tumbling until they are stopped by a fallen block.
ASCENDER
These will, when hit, float up until they hit an obstruction, at which time they will continue flipping in the same direction until stopped by a flat surface.
BRIDGER
If positioned at the edge of a gap, these will bridge the gap.
