Great game with a few issues. 1: The bee hive is way too difficult. 2: Resin upgrades are super overpriced. Everything requires thousands but you can only get a couple hundred at a time without going through the impossible bee maze. The difficulty of it doesn't match the simplicity of the game. The third issue is with combat. You can't send your army anywhere. You have to drag them around and try not to die. More options for army movement should be added, as well as options to allocate soldiers.

This game is pretty addictive for all that it is. Recently the game had an update and the defending the transport got way to hard. Ants move to slowly (even with upgrade) and don't attack the enemies that their right next to, can't control captured bugs during battles, not enough chances to get the drops in 24 hours, and this game is a BIG CASH GRAB GAME!!! Also when u set your defenses and then close the game it all resets. Defenses don't stay to what u set. No point in trying to play now.

Love the game, thankful for the joystick option. Much is needed for it to be great. I personally lose progress alot, there's no save or autosave that I'm aware of so everytime I open the game I'm back tracked. Could we get more defensive options like guarding resources or lines with the soldiers? Also, producing food from the leaf storage. Maybe a soldier unit focus tool? like choosing their group up and/or targets. Overall just more content, map details, complex maps not just an empty square.

Hey there! You all have been very responsive to feedback which is why I'm editing this comment. I love watching the game develop. A current issue I'm having is after winning a pheromone battle when returning home the loading screen will often freeze. If it does so I have to force close the app and I lose my winnings. I have not lost my army or battle entry pheromone but its ultimately frustrating.

Game itself reminds me of old school Ants game. Gameplay is casual with simple goals & controls--the added ability to "battle" other colonies is a nice addition. BUT game has a serious flaw-- a lack of effective save function. It's become pointless to play because never know when the game will/won't save. You can spend a while harvesting supplies only to return & find yourself back where you were prior. Frustrating & unfortunately come to point of uninstalling for my sanity.

Fun, retro, maybe kind of indie-feeling game. Great MIDI-style music. A bit mysterious in some aspects, making you want to find out more. Surprisingly hard on my device- my phone always runs hot when playing it. Would like more robust management of my soldiers during battle and less hands on management of worker ants (where they work out what to do themselves).
