What Makes Little Ant Colony – Idle Game Stand Out
No food is left behind. Not when the Little Ant Colony is around.
In this fun, easy idle game, it’s time to take charge of the ants colony. Collect the food, grow your ant tribe, and win.
Start out with just one lonely ant, but as you eat your way through this idle game, you add more ants to your colony. And more ants means more income & rewards.
It’s so fun!

Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
This was really a good app we loved it and we had really great experience with it.
We just started and we love the game.
We enjoy this game but we cant get on the 3rd location. Says we need internet connection and we have internet connection. Waited a day and tried again but still wont work.
We like this game. Gods ants, we love.
We just love it. A game like this would only have the skins, bonuses and eating the food but adding the battle makes more than satisfying but challenging too;3.
Ok.. So Im gonna be 100% real This game fun and very relaxing . The Cons : lags tremendously, Ive bought No Ads and still have to restore each time we reopen our app annnnd not to mention we still have to use ADS .LIKE COME OOOON !!! Also the ads stay stuck so you basically waste watching ads for nothing and still receive no reward cause of the lag .. HELLO NEW UPDATE PLEASE !!! :-| PLEASE FIX THE GLITCHES ABD THE PURCHASE RESTORING ITS A TOTAL SCAM we STILL HAVE TO WATCH ADS.
This is actually pretty fun to watch.
If you like these kinds of idle games, we greatly recommend this to you. The graphics are great, and theres actually quite a bit to do. Not only do you upgrade your anthill, but there is also a fight section where you can fight various enemies, and you can defeat its bosses for gem rewards, which you can use to get boosts for your colony. You can also use them to get skins, which is nice. We only have a few suggestions. First, balance out the dna and the ant-grow rate. It takes forever to get a new ant, and thats usually fine for us but it gets a little old when you have to use up a million dna to get 14% of an ant. Also, you should create an arachnophobe mode for the fighting menu. They would just turn into some other bug. Sorry for the miniature rant above because like we said the game is wonderful. Keep up the good work, and have a good day! P.S; airplane mode works wonders on ads, people :).
Its a really great game and we love it! Its just every time you level up your ant colony you have to watch a 2 minute long ad. We can kinda see why, and thats so you buy no adds for 5 bucks, but it draws people away and the more we play this game the more likely it is to us too.
It is really fun but it does get boring after awhile. We think it could be better if they could let you upgrade your home.
How about a option to look inside the ant hill to watch all of their activity inside.
Premium model is aggressive. $7 weekly, or be bombarded with adds!!! Delete able.
The game seemed like it might have potential but we will never know because we aint playing anything that slings an ad in our face what feels like every 30 seconds. We have played a lot of games over the years and rarely have we have come across one that is as aggressive as this one with ads.
Its okay. Cant really get into the game because an ad is forced on you every 30 seconds. Or an option to watch an add which you cant exit out of for 15 seconds. So dont expect much actual game play. Seems like it could be fun, we were excited for it, but its more ads than game.
The ads are bad and worse yet, they do not even give the bonuses afterwards! Do not bother with the free trial as it charges you anyway. $7/week for ad-free? Surprise! You still get ads anyway. What is the point of an ad-free subscription if you still give ads? Greed. It is such a shame as the gameplay loop is not terrible, but it is just another greedy dev with another greedy app.
Instantly hit with a subscribe to the membership screen before even playing the game. We tried to give it a chance but not even 1/4th way through the tutorial we got hit with an ad. We tried to play it more but there are crazy amounts of monetization and ads. Do not install this game lol.
If you want to watch an ad every 45 seconds this is the game for you. When you level up it gives you the option to watch an AD for extra loot but this is not optional, you might as well hit yes because its going to play an ad either way. You level up about every 45 seconds.
Trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash, trash let there be a no, ad button And make it a no cost money.
Deleted the game after 5 minutes where most of that time was being forced to watch ads. Im so annoyed of games like this.
This game thinks its sneaky or something still trying to force stupid ads on you even when you pay them. We promise we will never do anything with any ads on this game.
In game said that there was a 3 day trial, but instead, it made us immediately purchase the subscription.
We will watch ads for items/time. But we dont like ads in game play and the games menu.
They claim you get a 3 day free trial but when you agree they instead just immediately charge you. Scamming developers, just stay away from this game altogether.
Ive played a lot of ad supported games but this is the first that takes that to an extreme. To maintain a level of truth in your naming, please consider Little Ad Colony – Wait Game. Nearly everything you do, including clicking on the Continue button after leveling triggers and an. Youll even get an ad when you click on No Thanks after being offered an ad to do something you dont want to do. Could not delete this fast enough.
Looked like a fun game. After three minutes of playing we had at least 10 ads. Players beware. Uninstalled, sad because it looked like a fund game ruined by too many ads.
Another idle game thats just an excuse to throw ads at you. Instead of a one time purchase to remove ads, its an $8 weekly subscription. Its all a real shame because this would be a fun and beautiful idle game otherwise. Deleted after the 3rd forced ad.
There are too many ads and pop ups. You can barely play the game.
If you enjoy watching ads you will love this game.
Not a bad game if you can get past the ads.
A new ad pops up every 30 seconds and there is no bonus for watching these ads, simply, this game is a ploy by the developers to make money from the automatic ads. To all those who are thinking about it, do not get this game. Its an absolute waste of time.
This game is literally a advertisement screen, every click is literally leading you to some type of advertisement.
You seem to have a game in your ads.
So many ads that we deleted after about 10 minutes of play. Absolutely absurd.
When we join we did what the games says but our ants wont get food or go out of the nest. So we have been sitting there wait for our food bar to go up and now Im stuck on the upgrade energy production step.
We think this game would be more fun if the ads were not so aggressive. Most of our gameplay is watching ads. It doesnt matter if you are not using the power ups, the game still makes you watch lengthy ads repeatedly.
We really wanted to enjoy this game and probably would give it a 4. It is almost relaxing with good music and calming animation. However about every minute or two, you get an offer for a bonus something, you can pay with gems (premium currency), you can watch and ad and get it for free, or you can close the offer. Surprise though, closing the offer is the same as selecting watch ad. You sit through the ad and then get a boost that you didnt want. The frequency of the offers and the forced ad make this game go from relaxing to infuriating.
This is the most mind numbing, disgusting way we have ever come across to accrue add revenue. Truly atrocious. There is no game. Do not waste your time. Watching paint dry is more important than this.
Get rid of the ads. How greedy are you anyways.
It offered 3 days free subscription we press the button and it subscribes us for a month. Didnt until we went to cancel it before the 3 day pass was over! We want our money back. False advertisement.
Less than five minutes and just as many ads. Deleted app.
Could be a 5 star game! Ads ruin it unfortunately:(.
Its a good game with niceGraphics.
The game is fun it just gets better and better its soooooo much fun.
Love this game. We got the add free version because the adds got painful and its been a blast. Cant wait for for more updates.
The graphics are decent and the game mechanics are a good beginning. Needs nerfs and tweaks, but has potential. Player strategy advice. Focus on food upgrades with secondary resources going to max limit in the colony leveling up will fuel everything. In battles just get your defense level super high and use the 5th and 10th battles to get gems for your colony portion of the game (use them to maximize the rewards for leveling up in the colony). Game could use pvp aspects of some sort and a bit more depth in the existing facets. The late game is advancing too fast and it appears to get easier as it progresses. Im finally to a point where it takes longer to tap the extra food button and advance our stats, but it is still easy as can be to beat the levels. We have one more to unlock and then the game is basically done if it stops after the final element on the final level.
Its just alot of adds and its annoying its a watch to win game.
Picked this game out because we thought it would be fun. Didnt even get to play it because after two days of trying to get it to load on our phone repeatedly, deleting a bunch of other apps on our phone, clearing out our message history and our iCloud data of literally everything in there, and waiting for more than 30 minutes with this stupid app open, we gave up on this trash. Dont bother downloading.
So, we got the new update, so apps ask us if they can track us; we usually say no. This game, we said no to, as well. Why would a game about ants need to track us? Especially when we know most of these apps track you just so they can send you ads that are relevant to you which supports the claim that this game is riddled with ads. Anyway, Im met with an odd screen telling us they NEED to collect our data because its an integral part of the game. Collecting our data is integral to a game about ants? Huh? That makes absolutely no sense. We play plenty of mobile games and none of them have ever claimed they NEED to track us and wont even let us play the game if theyre not allowed to track us. Im not sure what kind of game this is, but with something shady like that, Id rather not play it. Based on the claim that them collecting data is necessary for the game, somehow, we gave it one star. Be careful with who collects your data and why. We certainly know this game doesnt need to know our data. Too bad because this looked interesting.
So many ads then you want 8.99 or more for no ads most charge .99 what a money hungry company @$&$ you.
So many ads. Couldnt even play 5 minutes.
