### 2/5 — Ads

*2026-03-21, version 0.8*

To many ads

### 1/5 — Annoying adds

*2025-04-12, version 0.8*

I can’t tap to get out of the adds 🤮

### 1/5 — Constant freezes

*2023-02-28, version 0.8*

Cool concept but constantly would freeze and I couldn’t play

### 5/5 — Stag problems

*2021-06-06, version 0.8*

To be entirely honest, the stag beetles are a bit hard to fight off when you can only randomly place spiders and hope they walk into them, so I think it would be nice to add a way to specifically target stag beetles somehow
Overall the game is pretty good(though the other reviews are right that it has quite a few ads) and I would recommend it.

P.s. please add a sandbox mode sometime, the potential dynamics for an ecosystem seem pretty interesting but are limited by the need to keep ants and mantises alive.

### 2/5 — To much ads?

*2021-03-19, version 0.8*

I saw everyone’s review and most of them ads

### 1/5 — Just ads

*2021-03-13, version 0.8*

The forced advertisement frequency renders the game unplayable

### 1/5 — Booooooooooo

*2021-03-09, version 0.8*

Worst game ever
Too many ads!

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-02-25, version 0.7*

There isn’t even an option to turn off the ads... and the ads happen every 5 seconds....

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-02-21, version 0.5*

I see the concept of the game and it’s interesting but there’s just way too many ads to enjoy

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2021-02-18, version 0.4*

Too many ads
