MORE ants and features

An ant can’t talk with a human, so this game could never happen, so more unreal things, but a bit more realistic spider A.I, I just thought the fire ant was the yellow crazy ant, and I just got my aphid/honeydew farm, but what about aphid mothers (can’t be used in battle) , that attack you and you can tame (have no creature chamber yet) and if you tame the aphid mother it will make birth to baby aphids that trust you so stay to make you honeydew, but to make you honeydew, they need food, which means a job for the HC and a king ant that is fat, big, and plump (Honeydew chamber)Enough to take 5 jobs PER DAY, each time you give it a job it says with an ant noise, “anything for my queens!” Why queensS? That’s because you need a royalty chamber at the ver bottom of the ant farm that lays yellow and pink eggs, yellow=prince ant. Pink eggs=princess ant. And at level three it lays a blue egg which means you have your plump king, and a spider cove would mean you wouldn’t need to wait a whole day for another spider (if you risk it). <~~~~~~~actual ending mark

Amazing game, one big discouraging factor.

I played this game non-stop until I was introduced to PVP, there’s a bit of an issue. There are a lot of complaints about matchmaking, but I believe it’s based off of one huge factor. PVP is the beat(and basically only way) to het pheromones other than the occasional red and colony which only gives you one and the daily reward, which one day out of the 10 or so you get some. But players tend to do something that makes them virtually invincible. Stacking literally every ant and creature they have in the Queen Chamber. Now stacking only creatures inside there isn’t a huge issue once you get crynsanthemum, but it doesn’t affect ants at all, and once you stack all 50 ants inside as well it’s virtually unbeatable. I suggest adding some limit to what exactly you can stack inside the queen chamber, or add something that affects ants as well, otherwise the only way to win is through raw power in you creatures, and that’s where the matchmaking comes in. I think adding a way to choose opponents either through a list with stats or a few separate options based on foreseen difficulty. But I think not letting everyone stack the queen chamber is the best way to encourage players to actually keep playing.

Awesome game. Download it now!

This plays like a late 90's video game, except on mobile - and I mean that in the best possible way. The gameplay has a great throwback style to it, and my six year old even loves it. There's strategy and depth here, and IAP are exceedingly limited. (Ad watching is voluntary, though the game's model does encourage it.)That the developers are still building the game gives me hope that it'll get even better over time, but I've enjoyed the journey of building up my ant colony these past few weeks. Dear developers: If I could make one request: two of the really fun activities you included - the bee maze and termite nest - are fantastically designed, but "all or nothing" rewards is quite punishing. Please consider making some kind of reward (RNG based?) for unsuccessful completion of these events. Some 'pity' Resin for groups completing at least the termite king would be a great touch. Thank you for your awesome game and keep up the good work, me and my children love it!

Good game with potential.

The game itself is very addictive however it does get repetitive at times and lacks content after a couple days of play. Firstly there are really only 5 major things to do in the game. Capture the red ant hill, capture the aphid farms, kill/capture creatures Battle other players and wait for your ants to collect resources. Most of the time you are just waiting around doing nothing while you either breed soldier ants or wait for your ants to collect resources which becomes boring very quickly. On top of this the playable ant can’t really do anything special. I feel like with more things on the map and slightly reduced spawns the game could be much more fresh. As well as this, it is very tedious and resource depleting to train soldier ants, only for them to all be lost in one battle. Honeydew is also far too difficult to get and more sources of it should be implemented. The Halloween update was a good addition although it really didn’t add much if you aren’t willing to pay for more pumpkins. On a final note, upgrade times seem absurd on the late game side of things, waiting 7+ days for a single upgrade. Overall, with more content and polishing this game could be very popular and become a great way to pass time or play with friends if expanded.

Very addicting game but...

So you may have seen the title and it is very addicting I have a problem though the spider spawn is way to long and the map is too small there is no other food sources like human food the solider ants cost way to much food and it’s really hard to progress in the game like the slave chamber when I need it I need more body parts and it’s hard to get body parts when the creature you want to capture is gonna be the body parts also can you add more then just two creature on the map instead and the gems it is very hard to get gems and you can’t friend people to help with your army there should be a invite friend button and when you click on it you get a boost also the red ants also have a long cool down before you can kill it again the pheromones are hard to get because there is only one creature you can get it from and there is another way to get it but your army maybe to small to fight it P.S This is a good game just needs more work put in to it

Great game...

So, I really fell in love with this game. It’s fun but there are some things I think should get a second look. My 2 main issues are the creature hunting and the PVP. So, you need to breed soldier ants to take on creatures. You need about 6 to defeat a tarantula, which is what the tutorial suggests. After you defeat the thing, it takes 24hrs for another to respawn on the map. That’s a bit much considering all you do is gather resources and the occasional red ant colony attacks. You can attract creatures by using pheromones which you get by attacking other players. Thing is, the matching is horrible. My first battle was against a team of 50 versus my 6. What’s worse is, once your team dies, you have to build your army again from 0. Because of the matching, it makes me never to want to battle other players at all and hope no one tries to come after me. I mean, it took me an hour or 2 to build up my army to 20 and was wiped by an army of 60, causing me to start building my army again. Like I said though, this game is great but if those issues aren’t addressed, it’ll end up becoming dull and annoying as time goes on.

Would be 5 stars but…

Like I said would be 5 stars except for one thing you can punch have one ant who it’s you brining fingers to the queen an I get maybe it would be hard to make the ants have a que line or something and not have them just drop the fungus on the ground and have it disappear but it could be done then the game would be better automated at making ants. Another thing is the soldier ants don’t protect the worker ants unless they are attacked then only the one that is attacked fights so if the red ants ain’t don’t target the soldiers but the workers the workers just die like the ant the player controls and if you just want to gather recorces and don’t have ant ordered to bring fungus to bring to the queen circling back to original problem then if you workers are constantly being attacked you can’t bring back your workers quick enough if you are lazy or to weak to deal with what ever is attacking you and even if the player isn’t helping making more worker ants is super slow

Pretty good game but has bugs and needs balancing/fixing

This game is very addicting and I’ve been non stop playing but while I was playing I’ve found countless hard features and bugs that made the game less fun. One bug that I found was that your tamed creatures and ants sometimes can’t attack the Queen ant when in pvp. This makes it so you can’t get 3 pheromones for no reason at all. Also almost everyone I come across just stacks all there ants and creatures in a single place as defense. The winner depends on who has the better creatures. Another thing that should be fixed is the bombardier beetle. This thing shreds through ants and makes all your hard work just fall apart. There should be a nerf to the spray ability for the bombardier bug because it destroyed 40 of my ants in less than 10 secounds. Lastly the bee maze is just to hard for many players. You have 6 minutes to get past a super hard maze and if u don’t have a map or a guide then you practically lose. Not to mention each run cost 300 resin. These are the things that I think should change and it would make this already fun game better in my opinion

Fun and addicting but...

The game is fun and I really enjoy the concept. What I would like to see is the ants auto gather the resource they are assigned to at a reduced rate (say 33% or 40%) in the background when the phone is off or the app is closed. It’s impractical to wait for the resources to build up while the app is on. All your doing the majority of the time is staring and waiting, so why not have them gather when you away from the phone. Also, the spider regeneration and red aunt colony regeneration time should be cut in half. Those times are WAY to long. I would also like to see the quests that are completed automatically moved to the top for easy claiming. It would be nice to have some way of searching the map without having to move the player ant. Maybe scroll with two fingers? Can we have the option to send the player any to a location by tapping on the small map and he automatically goes there? It would be near 5 stars for me if those two things were changed/added. Thanks!

Painful to play

Ok let me first say I used to love this game, sort over $300 on gems. I did this even after hearing all the negative reviews on the difficulty and seeing the replies from Ariel saying you need to use strategies. I stayed hoping the issues would be resolved. Instead Ariel directs you to discord for tips and strategies, which I went to and surprise it’s an empty discord with not one post. The game need major rebalancing. You can read all the other reviews for the issues with the economy. But I’ll highlight one that goes against what Ariel says, when doing the honeydew as you upgrade your ants and room level you expect it to be easier to protect your escort and more honeydew to make it to your colony. The opposite is true, the fire ants spawn faster and more chaotically making it impossible even with 20 army ants with you and at rally. I used to be able to get 7-8 of the 10 honeydew back safely to my base, no I get 1-3 if that sometimes zero. The strategy is don’t level anything and play until you need to level and then just quit the game. Gems are useless and expensive. The game has amazing potential but the dev need to get his head out of his rear end and stop the lazy cash grab and making simple excuses. Ariel no amount of strategy will overcome your imbalance. Everything in this games economy is off balance. Save the game Ariel.
