Game amazing plz add more! Emma.
Why are they not working on this game anymore?
Puzzle ish. Fun and addictive.
Este juego es una obra de arte, lo juego desde que tenia 12 aos y ahora que tengo 21 aos lo volv a descargar.
Company and the crew must move on to another update please. We need more map and different type of ant to challenge the world. Still a lot people out there cares about this game.
We love this game. Every couple of months we clear our game and start over. We also check to see if they have added new levels, wish they would. Definitely worth paying for. You will never regret it!
This game is by far the best bug strategy game out there. Trust us we have looked for games such as this one and we have not came close to finding one. We’ve been playing this game since day 1, and even though we might stop playing it for a while we always comeback to it and it is just as fun as when we first start playing. It would be nice if the game developers would continue to expand on the storyline because its been at a stand still since the game was released. We would like to see more ant species and the habitat to match. It would also be nice if we can get some underground play such as maybe a level where you are protecting the queen and larva. It would also be nice if the developers could expand the area in each level, maybe add some water and even may a level where the ants raid a human house or something. But overall awesome game and we love it.
We used to play this all the time and now that Im finally able to get it again Im SUPER excited to keep playing. The strategies that youll have to come up with are pretty interesting, but overall its AMAZINGLY fun.
Can you make more levels or another app thats the same thing? Its so addictive. We love it.
We wish they would up date it with new stuff.
We love this game and Im not really a gamer. We’ve started it over so we could play it many many times from the beginning. We’ve actually paid for things in this game and we NEVER do that. If any of you developers are reading our review, please add levels or make a new similar game.
We’re so happy it finally got updated! We were so scared we wouldn’t be able to play it on our phone much longer…. It’s the only game that has remained our go-to for years! Love it!
Love every game from this developer!!!
Cartoony but realistic graphics are great, physics movement is smooth, objectives are fun and range from easy to very challenging. Infinity levels are great, too. Usually we beat a game and then Im done. This is one of the few we beat and come back to a couple years later to start over.
This game was one of the best mobile games we have ever played on our phone, and if a squeal were to come out we would be the first on line to purchase it. Thanks for this masterpiece of a game.
Great game! We play it over and over.
We dont know how many times we have deleted this game because it interferes with work, theres just something so engaging…
Its one of our favorite games ever but doesnt work in iOS 16.1.
This is one of our favorite game in App Store. We dont why developers dont come with a new story or new stages. Please come up with new ant hill or at least give us new stage.
Fun game. Great controls. Lots of ways to win on each map!
Simple game that is addictive!
Very fun game but a very sad missed opportunity. This game couldve been so much more but they gave up very sad but still fun game though. It would be five stars but lack of attention and opportunities 4 stars. Sad.
We like this game but this game would have been way more fun with more levels and more types of ants.
This is an awesome. We have always enjoyed it very much.
Please do a update so we can play it. New IOS updates stop us from playing.
This is one of the better games we have seen. Im actually willing to spend money for more DLC and rate the game!
THANK YOU for updating this game. Was a top game when it came out and has stood the test of time. Anthill 2 next?! Online? :)
We used to play this about 20 times a day and then we got upgraded to iOS 16 on our iPad and it opens well enough, seemingly so, but then when we hit the play button, it flips out and completely crashes !
This is the greatest game we ever played simple gaming involving defending the Anthill n gathering resources we really do want more from guys nomes updates as well maybe more levels too.
Please make more! There hasnt been a significant update in a while!
We love this game and continue to come back to it. We find it a fun and unique take to tower defense. We hope they keep up this app and make more levels. :)
This Game is awesome its very strategic on some of those might be frustrating but its really rewarding After you get all the stars on a level and the story is pretty cool we recommend you buy this game.
We honestly enjoy the game but we wish the last two expansions were free. Other than that a fantastic game to play and replay.
This is a game of strategy, and then some. Its is also a thrilling game, and extremely addicting. We have played it at least daily for the last eight years non stop. Sometimes we get the urge to play it three times a day. With the original game we had a strategy memorized for each of the game scenarios which enabled us to receive the max possible score each time. However, we have to say that this iteration of the game, which we just downloaded yesterday is EXTREMELY difficult, and. . . Well frankly, its been kicking our butt, and Im beginning to wish that we had stuck with the old iteration!
Im a big fan of games about bugs so this is a dream come true. Gets hard by the end so a warning there but thats it.
This game encourages you to play the levels again and again, and they dont get boring! Plus its not pay to win.
