Community Insight:
This is one of the best games Ive had without getting bombarded with ads.
A few things we really like about this game is that it's fairly simple, there's very few ads, and you can easily spend a good amount of time on it. There is an issue we run into quite frequently though, we never have enough food, there aren't enough bugs to kill, so we have to rely on the big attacking bugs that come along. Other than that setback it definitely is an amazing and simple game to get addicted to.
This game is really nice, we like the music and the graphics fit the game. We havent gotten that far but we still play it a lot. We think we would be cool if you updated the game so when you build a new colony than you can get more ants besides the original 3. Or you have a cap for the amount of ants so you have to build another colony. We guess we are just a little confused of it. You could add more attacking things besides the normal one you have, they could even have special attacks like making the ants dizzy so they cant attack for a couple seconds or Something. We think this game has a-lot of potential and we have downloaded a coupon other ant games you have. If you were to combine them together it would be a massive hit, the underground ant city game, this game, and the attacking ant game all in one! We dont know just a idea but we cant wait to see what you do with your game, keep up the good work.
If you like time killing games, maybe this is for you. What this game could use is: more ants, more terrain, maybe better A.we., and maybe different species of ant.
The game is pretty small, but the few updates are great. Along with NO ADS EVERY OTHER TAP games like the other small tap games.
We love bugs so this game is cool but we LOVE the new update keep them coming.
We would absolutely love more updates, the game is amazing! It's such a peaceful way to pass time and be zen.
So yea we have been playing for 2 min. An we bet it would be a good game but there is the big map it is huge it takes more than 50% of the screen like bro we do not need the map to be that big jeez and do not even get us started on you have to save what if you iPad dies or you been playing for an hour then you need to d Go get some water you iPad turns off then that was all for nothing so if you want five star fix those thing plz we think it would be so much fun.
We have played this game every day for the past 3 years. Warning its addictive . We definitely want many people to have this game we show our ants . When we drop our phone we lost our ants so we get it again. Good rate five out of five.
We really like this game and its a fun time killer, the only bad thing about it is the fact that it needs more updates. It needs more ants and definitely some rewards for defeating other colonies. It needs more preditors and food. And it needs more space for the ants to move around. If these happen then it will be the perfect game for time killing.
Fantastic game. We keep coming back. We would like to spawn enemies when you reach end game. Ive done multiple runs of this game, and would like to see more late game content.
A lot better than the other game with the style like this that they made. We like the fact that its actually a game and not a passive watch as they grow game.(actually not a fake review a pretty decent game).
We think you should pay food for a bigger ant limit. 1 antlimit = 10 food. Instead of keep it at 10000 ants.
Ive been looking for a good Apple game that resembled Sim Ant on pc back in the 80/90s. This game is as close as Ive found! It is a good time killer, the biggest problem is Im stuck at not being able to progress and attack past colony 1600! Id give another half star if it werent for that and this game could do more for the 5. Overall if your needing something to put you to sleep while in bed this is it! Relaxing too us anyways.
We just wanna know why the game tells us to grow our herd but once it gets huge someone kills all of our ants. Plz explain.
We love this game, its so fun. We just wish there was more scenery like a river, you could collect water an enemy could be frogs or other larger reptiles. An option to play 2 or more diffrent species of ants would be fun. We have alot of ideas.
Game is not optimized for phones. If you dont save the game you will lose everything. Saving takes multiple clicks, no auto-save option. Getting a phone call will cause the game to close and lose everything.
This is not great if we cant play.
We cant tell you how long Ive been searching for a game like this one we love this game so much please keep updating it thank you.
It is really fun watching the ants take all the food back to the hole and watching the attackers surround the enemies. It is really fun but we wish the number of ants was higher than 10,000.But it is still a must buy.
Every other game is just ten seconds of slightly fun then an ad. This has no ads and its just simple and fun. Thank you.
We personally love this game just because of the simplicity and how it never gets old,we can play this game all day and we wouldnt get bored.
This game is pretty simple to play and a great pastime. Its so addicting! We recommend it to anyone who has a few minutes to spare.
