Mice chase ants and eat them. ### 4/5 — Pretty good but confusing *2024-10-02, version 1.6.1* I mean, the game is pretty good. It’s kinda really confused. What everything does but after 10 minutes I so what happens and I think it’s pretty cool. Keep on making games. ### 3/5 — Смысл игры *2024-08-07, version 1.6.1* А че тут делать? ### 4/5 — Food *2024-07-30, version 1.6.1* Make the ants make rooms and add food so the ants can eat so the ants put the food in the rooms and feed the baby’s ### 4/5 — Love it ❤️ *2023-05-16, version 1.6.1* It’s calm and fun to watch but the reason I put four stars ⭐️ was that you can’t see your ants 🐜 when they go off screen 📺 other than that it’s so good and fun to watch the ants ### 5/5 — アリって可愛いよね *2023-01-09, version 1.6.1* 分かれ道と分かれ道を繋げられないのが残念です😭 ### 4/5 — Cool but I have a repeat *2022-07-04, version 1.6.0* It’s fun but I wish you can like send out ants to attack to feed for the queen or control the ants like sims or whatever. ### 5/5 — 暇つぶしにいい *2022-04-06, version 1.6.0* なんでこんなに評価が低いのかわからないけどこれは、かなり神ゲーです。評価に騙されないでくださいね！ 嘘じゃないよーー ### 5/5 — very good game if you’re bored *2022-02-14, version 1.6.0* it’s a good game to play if you have nothing to do/if you’re bored. I wish it would have more features though. ### 5/5 — Full of bugs *2022-02-04, version 1.6.0* ;) ### 5/5 — Yes *2021-11-23, version 1.6.0* Is good gam ### 4/5 — Fun game but I can’t kill the bugs like you can in ants life *2021-08-30, version 1.5.4* Fun game ### 5/5 — Fun *2021-07-15, version 1.5.4* I haven't played the game but it looks fun ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I hate it *2025-08-07, version 1.6.1* Do nothing but watch wow and the graphics are bad. I hate this game so much. ### 1/5 — Too boring for boring fun *2023-10-10, version 1.6.1* Youre supposed to “just watch” or whatever with some really inconsequential interactions with the ants and thats completely it. Nothing else. Even if the POINT is to just watch, this doesnt even do that well. Theres nothing that happens for you to watch. You just watch a basic computer program probably written in 1995 with nothing to expand or BE interesting. It seems to exist only as a beginner project or proof of concept. ### 1/5 — The graphics are bad *2023-07-03* I liked the concept, but the graphics really disappointed and disturbed me. So if you upgraded the graphics it would make it more fun ### 1/5 — Çöp *2022-01-31, version 1.6.0* Hayatımda oynadığım en kötü karınca oyunu 0 yıldız olsa 0 yıldız verirdim iğrenç bir oyun indirmeyin, indirtmeyin. ### 1/5 — Bad game *2021-11-29, version 1.6.0* This game silly It point less ### 1/5 — Boring *2021-08-13, version 1.5.4* Boring but cool to watch ### 1/5 — Boring *2021-06-23, version 1.5.4* It is boring. I was bored and out of things to do in minutes. You can only do a few things to the ants that barley affect them. They need to make more things to do and make it more interactive. ### 1/5 — Unplayable *2021-04-21, version 1.5.3* I get it’s an idle game... but the mechanics of the game are trash. 1/3 of the screen is an ad. The touch screen is way to touchy. I see potential in this game... but it is broken and needs fixed. Also... there is no reason for ads for a game this trash. Developers... fix it. ### 1/5 — Игра не запускается на ipad 2 iOS 9.3.5 *2021-01-17, version 1.5.2* При запуске игры чёрный экран и вылет ### 1/5 — Why *2021-01-12, version 1.5.2* So I thought this game wold be fun, but it essentially wasn’t. I mean sometimes the ants wold go into one tunnel or the tunnles looked like video game caricters from the 80’s, oh who am I kidding this game is horrible ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Normal *2025-08-01, version 1.6.1* Güzel bir oyun öneririm ### 5/5 — Just amazing *2025-04-20, version 1.6.1* This game is really fun if you find watching ants fun. It has some interactions that simulate real life events and some like on to track a specific ant or to kill insects for food. Great game if you find watching fun. Also the bombs simulate rain and the spiders are attacks. And it’s realistic because ants give food through their mouths to other ants. ### 5/5 — Cool! *2024-05-04, version 1.6.1* Cool concept for an ant game! ### 5/5 — 🐜 *2024-03-13, version 1.6.1* Игра хорошая но хочется больше функций для колонии ### 5/5 — 気持ちいい *2023-09-30, version 1.6.1* マジで気持ちいい ### 5/5 — BEST GAME EVA *2023-08-27, version 1.6.1* a lot of the reviews said this game is boring BUT NO. It’s actually really fun! Graphics could be a bit better, but anyway this game IS AMAZING AND AWESOME AT THE SAME TIME!!! Best game! (One that I would recommend😄) ### 5/5 — Best game *2023-08-02, version 1.6.1* This is the best game just one thing I suggest on a 2nd ant game add more stuff u can do to help the ants Do not care about these little kids putting 1 star they are just jealous and mad because they can’t make a great game like this all they can make is just 2 squares ### 5/5 — Обновление *2023-06-06, version 1.6.1* Игра класс но хочется вражеские колонии и и можно будет покупать скины для муравьёв И можно будет объединятся со своими колониями и можно будет стать союзниками с другими колониями пожалуйста!!!! ### 5/5 — Overall a decent game *2023-04-23, version 1.6.1* I can see effort put in this game and a lot of potential! Nice! ### 5/5 — make more!! *2023-03-03, version 1.6.1* game soo fun! but can you add more insect and make the map bigger and add soldier and add more ants --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
