Leave a Review Idle Ants
Has mandatory ads for reward of finishing levels.
First 10 minutes was fine. I’d watch ads for the extra boosts here and there. But once I started clearing the food it would give a reward payment. Who had the idiot idea to have a mandatory ad depending if you didn’t want the 3x boost reward? Really dumb knowing if I don’t want to see an ad for the 3x boost, I still need to see one anyway. You’re lucky this game can be played without internet, or I’d uninstall this in a heartbeat. The stars are for the gameplay. Nothing more.Show lessGroovesy
Hi
i like ants thats why i like the gamemy bathubs
Too short
I opened this game last night, and it’s a great little game, it’s satisfying to see the ants dismantling whatever is in front of them. My personal favourites are the plane and the castle. After playing the first world I purchased the ad free version, at £9.99 it was quite a steep price but I was enjoying it and thought why not, I’ll splurge on it. Well that was a mistake. Let me tell you why. Without the adverts to slow you down, it’s too easy. After an hour of playing I’d completed all the worlds, my ants take about 7 seconds to clear the objects, and most of my ants aren’t needed to come out of the hole now either. The most frustrating part though, without the adverts you don’t get the triple bonuses etc from cleaning a level. I now make 5.7T a level. They need to add more to the game. As it stands I’ll probably never play this game again, as all I can do is try to max out my ants, but that’s counter productive as the ants clear the object so quick you dont really get any satisfaction from them doing it. So, if you don’t mind paying £9.99 for about an hours fun, then go for it, otherwise stick to the free version and just watch the ads.Show less1st Glorfindle
Fun game! Just one problem....
I love the game! The only problem is the ads. If the producers got rid of the ads it would be a perfect game. Time consuming, enjoyable and easy (so far I’m only on level three). The ads aren’t that bed that’s actually how I get most of my games. But less would be better, I don’t think it is worth 10 dollars to remove. Well, that’s my review, thank you for reading!Show less(original nickname)
This is real
This game is epic also it’s interesting and I love it but don’t bye the “ no adsOK can do BETER
Forced to watch ads
I understand that free games require ad revenue to be free. Watching an ad to get more gold or perks is one thing but I do not like being made to watch an ad when I complete a level. If you are going to make me watch an ad without choice then give me the x3 bonus....otherwise let me choose when to watch an ad. Some idle games I have played don’t force you to watch ads. I took off a star because of this. If it gets fixed, I’ll give the star backShow lessScienceRudi
My opinion about the game.
My opinion about the game isn’t that it’s the worst it’s just not the best. Someone said there were a ton of ads but I just put my device on airplane mode so I didn’t get a chance to see if there were or not. But, honestly I don’t really like the game for the so fact that you just sit there watching ants go over to something and then take pieces of it into a hole. The only interacting thing you can do is upgrade and at the end either multiply your earning or push an x. There’s nothing to really do so if you’re looking for a game to just kind of sit and watch and do few interactions with then this is good for that if you’re looking for the total opposite then I’d say this probably isn’t for you. I mean, who knows? Maybe it is for you. Just because this is my opinion on the game doesn’t mean it’s yours too. If you want to see what this game is all about go for it, try new things maybe you’ll end up liking it. I don’t know. But, a heads up is that I think some stuff is over-priced. You shouldn’t have to pay for different ants that only have upgrades that you can just use your coins to buy. The ants in the store should be bought with coins not actual money.
That is my opinion on the things I went through as I played the game. If you want to check it out I say go for it maybe you’ll end up liking it. Who knows?Show lessXxWolfie_GachaxX
Ok, I LOVE this game but,
Hello everyone, my review may not matter the most but, this is a great game! I love that the animations are so smooth and simple. The ants are adorable too! I absolutely love this because when the Ants finish eating whatever it is, it’s just so satisfying and appealing to me! One suggestion, please make it so that there are more levels. Thank you so much for making this amazing game. I admire your work.

This game is about the ads, not the ants
You spend more time watching ads than ants. It’s definitely not worth anywhere near the $9.99 to remove the ads. And even when you’re watching the ants, you’re bombarded by pop up asking you to watch more ads for bonuses that aren’t needed. Each level already only takes 10-20 seconds to complete. Don’t download this crappy app. It exists just to make money on showing you ads, and is probably mining all your data while doing so. This is seriously a terrible example of corporate greed.
Developers, if you actually care about making a good game (which I seriously doubt because clearly this is just about money), my suggestions would be the following:
-don’t require an ad to progress to the next level. You already have an option to triple the money gift for finishing a level by watching an ad. So what’s the point of making them watch an ad either way?? Oh right. Corporate greed.
-make upgrade purchases more expensive. The game is too overpowered such that levels go by basically instantly (meaning yay! Another ad!)
-decrease the bite size of each ant. They’re eating too much of the item, again making the levels super short. Instant gratification isn’t necessary with idle games - they should be more about the slow burn.
-decrease the no ad purchase by at least 50%. This crap game isn’t worth $10 and you know it. You’re just gauging. It makes me extra not want to support your nonsense.Show lessHyper08490
Too Few Levels, No Progression, Bugs
I beat the entire game in 1.5 hours:
The game was fun and slow at first, and I kept watching ads to get the bonuses, which seemed worth it at first. I absolutely hate how they force you to watch an ad regardless of if you will get the boost anyways. I ended up paying the $20 to remove ads and then get all the special ants. This allows you to constantly have 2x speed, profit, free extra squads, and free VIP ants. The game literally does not scale to this kind of play, and is why I finished all the levels in 1.5 hours simply by spending $20. This is not rewarding and is terrible game design. Also, the VIP ant lets you spam press it while it’s walking out if you have purchased the “remove ads” and you will get the money multiplied by the number of times you clicked the ant.
Overall I liked the game at first, but clearly this is just to make money for lazy developers, who will post “balance tweaks and bug fixes” every now and then to look good on the App Store, but ignore the blatantly obvious problems with the game mechanics.Show lessDbombfuser
