### 5/5 — Childhood

*2026-06-20*

Loved this game as a kid glad I can play it again but on my phone

### 2/5 — Oh memories.

*2026-03-11*

If only this wasn’t abandoned. And if only you didn’t lose all your upgrades and purchases on colony reset. I really want to like this but it’s just. That’s mean.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-08-05, version 2.6*

A very great game it would be cool if there was a sequel and I’m happy it’s free

### 5/5 — Ant War is back!

*2024-06-10*

Loved this game growing up on the browser. Now with new computers and the end of flash, it’s hard to play games like this or Age Of Castles! Great to be able to play this game again, however, I noticed that the nursery ants will produce the same rate of ants regardless of the % allocated as long as it is at 5% or over. Ditto Worker ants. 

Scouts need over 55% to have positive food flow

### 5/5 — Nostalgic!

*2023-10-26*

I played this when I was a kid, nostalgic and very relaxing to come back to it!

### 5/5 — Pls

*2023-06-21, version 2.6*

Can you make it so I don’t loose ants rapidly

### 4/5 — Memories

*2023-05-08, version 2.6*

Loved this as a kid, my nephew seems to like it too. Perhaps he is just humoring me though haha.

### 5/5 — Good game
