### 4/5 — Привет, я пользователь из России

*2026-08-19, version 7.2.10*

Игра очень классная и мне она очень сильно нравится, но все уровни проходятся на одном дыхании без какой либо сложности, новые уровни не добавляются, нет как раньше уровня сложности на уровне, чтобы можно было его пройти на среднем и тяжелом, дабы больше оставался интерес к игре, проходить бесконечный режим уже тоже наскучило и на высоких волнах он начинает подвисать, особенно лаги заметны с 50 волны и выше. Можете пожалуйста устранить данные неполадки с лагами и добавить побольше различных уровней. Большое спасибо Вам за такую классную и интересную игру♥️

### 4/5 — amo este juego

*2026-08-17, version 7.2.10*

pero necesito mas niveles ya me los pase todos y no veo ninguna actualización con mas niveles para completar que es lo que tengo que hace para que aparezcan mas ?

### 4/5 — Баги и недочеты

*2026-08-16, version 7.2.10*

Я очень люблю эту игру, но честно говоря очень расстраивает баг, когда строители в Endless режиме застревают друг в друге и начинают крутиться, игнорируя любое указание. Хотелось бы, чтоб как можно этот баг пофиксили, так как он очень мешает. К тому же игра на 6к+ конфет в том же Endless режиме начинает очень сильно лагать, несмотря на сильное устройство и низкое качество настроек. Дальше чем 10к очень сложно проходить только из-за очень сильных лагов. Хотелось бы еще добавить, что контента в игре пока что маловато, было бы неплохо добавить еще уровней и побольше новых карт муравьев, а может какие-нибудь  еще ивенты :)

### 3/5 — Can get very laggy

*2026-08-13, version 7.2.10*

Playing on endless results in extreme unplayable lag by the time you get wave 55. Even changing the graphic setting to performance does nothing.

### 4/5 — Fun and Relaxing

*2026-08-11, version 7.2.10*

Love the game and the gameplay and the music is so calming thats why sometimes u don’t know that’s u spend time an hours or more without realizing. And that’s also a drawback u really focus in the game that u can’t stop and forgot the time, that’s why i hope in the future u can just pay 1 time for the speed feature. 
That’s all tor me and i think this game have a great future and u can add something else like talents tree or research which it make each ant feel different or special.
Thats why i only give 4 star unless the speed feature get add or just 1 time payed its okay rather than subscription 😓

### 3/5 — I need the Chinese option.

*2026-08-08, version 7.2.10*

I need the Chinese option.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t save when needed

*2026-07-31, version 7.2.10*

It’s great but it doesn’t save when you close the game leaving you 10-15 mins behind if you accidentally restart it really bothers me when I do a lot and still lose it after from a simple mistake

### 4/5 — Pretty Great

*2026-07-31, version 7.2.10*

This game is awesome, however, there needs to be an implementation of more manual control over the ants. So many times have I kept failing the later areas because I just can’t find the last few bases that just keep overwhelming my forces with wave after wave of increasingly difficult raids. Other than that, love the game, even paid for ad free. Please keep updating! 
Edit: also I think a cool addition would be some sort of traps or tiles that slow down or stun enemies in your base

### 4/5 — Жду обновления

*2026-07-29, version 7.2.10*

Быстро прошёл больше делать ничего

### 5/5 — Rating Change

*2026-07-28, version 7.2.10*

I changed my rating from one star to five. I had problems before getting in touch with anybody and kept getting hit with use discord to reach us. My child was playing at the time, shes not getting discord to ask questions. So I took over playing. Ive beat every level and made it to wave 55. The only thing I’ll say is, it’s hard to advance in the beginning because rewards are slow to earn. The sugar ratio seems a bit off to me. Unless your cards are higher tier and you can get further along and get more sugar to upgrade. I understand you want to want the game to last and not be easily beaten. My child didn’t and I didn’t want to spend money. I did end up paying for the weekly after buying a bunch of bundles though and that helped me out a bunch as well. Also after finishing waves and im collecting rewards, the pictures go over the words that say “tap to collect” and I cant collect my rewards so I close out the game then I get a red pop up when I open the game and it says to send you an email.

### 5/5 — love this game!

*2026-07-27, version 7.2.10*

i love this game. the mechanics are nice, i love building different decks for the level and i find the difficulty the perfect mix of challenging and easy

### 5/5 — it good 👍

*2026-07-25, version 7.2.10*

this game is hella good u should try it

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-07-25, version 7.2.10*

I love it all super fun the only wrong thing is that I have no more to play I beat it

### 5/5 — Buff defending ants

*2026-07-24, version 7.2.10*

Love the game I just think the defender ants should be inside the nest especially since they don’t ever go inside and then have the attacking ants on the outside or atleast make it so the defender ants can chase bugs into the nest cause half the attacking bugs just ignore the defender ants and run into the nest making the defending ants useless absolutely love the game tho

### 5/5 — A great game with a fun premise

*2026-07-23, version 7.2.10*

This game is very fun, and seems like a genuine passion project by whoever is making this. That is more than you can say about most games on here.
I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of insects. Personally, I’m not even a fan of colony sim games, but this is still quite fun for me!

### 5/5 — MORE LEVELS!!!

*2026-07-23, version 7.2.10*

When will the new levels come out :(

### 5/5 — Only one issue.

*2026-07-22, version 7.2.10*

I enjoy this game and it’s nice playing it. The only issue I have is that it keeps crashing on me and I lose some of my progress.

### 2/5 — Was fun until

*2026-07-22, version 7.2.10*

Ads ads ads. If you’re gonna force ads, at least give us something for it

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Obnoxiously monetised

*2026-07-28, version 7.2.10*

The game itself seems neat but it’s just full of prompts to spend premium currencies. Utterly obnoxious.

### 1/5 — Too many Ads ruined a game

*2026-07-25, version 7.2.10*

Makes you pay a subscription to remove them a waste of

### 1/5 — Annoying

*2026-07-18, version 7.2.10*

Man

### 1/5 — 1 star because it uses sugar cubes to refresh cards without telling you it will use sugar cubes

*2026-07-08, version 7.2.10*

Titles says all

### 1/5 — Level 14 nerf that level is hell

*2026-07-02, version 7.2.10*

Level 14 is so horrid

### 1/5 — No data save

*2026-07-01, version 7.2.10*

Redownloaded and all my progress and things i purchased were wiped…

### 1/5 — .

*2026-06-26, version 7.2.10*

самый глупый ии у муравьев, отправляя рейд твои муравьи агрятся на всех подряд, в итоге умирают все, нет ни единой возможности хоть как то направлять их

### 1/5 — Forced ads

*2026-06-16, version 7.2.10*

Great game, until you get a few levels in a get forced to either pay $$ or get hit with forced ads. Get out.

### 1/5 — Ads are tiresome

*2026-06-15, version 7.2.10*

The amount of ads is quite annoying and to top it off to get ad free you pay to pay 7.49 a week. lol wild amount of greed

### 1/5 — Add’s.

*2026-06-13, version 7.2.10*

Add’s.

### 5/5 — In love

*2026-08-18, version 7.2.10*

Haven’t bought the premium, don’t need it. Artwork is very nice, I love the mechanics of the game

### 5/5 — 10/10

*2026-08-17, version 7.2.10*

Great game I love the challenges to hit on each level. The calm music is a nice touch. Definitely hope for more ants and levels soon!

### 5/5 — Already finished the game!!

*2026-08-16, version 7.2.10*

10/10 love the game! When is there a new update coming out for iPhone? And id love if you could send more then 10 attacker ants in a raid maybe 15 or 20 
And maybe a harder boss in each level pass level 13-15!

### 5/5 — лучший из симуляторов

*2026-08-16, version 7.2.10*

Начав в нее играть, она затянула меня с первой минуты. Я тратила все свое свободное время на улучшение стратегий и увеличение своей муравьиной команды. 
Надеюсь в скором времени мы сможем увидеть новые уровни и новый муравьев. 
С нетерпением жду обновлений ❤️

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-08-09, version 7.2.10*

I've been playing the Any Colony game for a couple years, now. It has practically infinite replay value, and I keep coming back to it.
What level can You get to on the Endless Mode??? Mine is 39, so far... But, I don't have all Red level Ants in My deck. So, I'm Excited to push it to level 40 next! 😃

### 5/5 — great game but has a bad bug

*2026-08-06, version 7.2.10*

I absolutely love this game it’s addictive as heck, but there is a bug where the builder ants can get stuck and i haven’t found a way to reset them.

### 5/5 — Absolute peak

*2026-08-04, version 7.2.10*

game is absolutely fire, takes more skill and thought than most mobile games i’ve found so it’s actually engaging in the long run. Only downside is the lack of content, enjoyed playing so much I finished all the levels in a few days and now am waiting for more to release. Great game if you want something strategic. 

edit: I’d suggest the trap idea I saw from another user, as well as an ability to target attackers inside your base. Keep running into the same issue of a raid bug (usually wasp) that gets past my defenses, and sits there breaking my food while my attackers do nothing since they’re too far inside my huge base. Maybe add an ability to select an enemy in your base and make all attackers target them?

### 5/5 — Great Game!

*2026-08-03, version 7.2.10*

Beautiful art style, I love pixel art, cool gimmicks, can see the effort put into the world.

### 5/5 — July 29. Carter cartoons 😎👍🏾

*2026-07-29, version 7.2.10*

Coming soon 2026 October !  24 days the map by game ant

### 5/5 — Great game to spend a lot of time

*2026-07-28, version 7.2.10*

Really good game for long car trips or if you just have a lot of time :)
