You can click on ants and the game just ignores you. Also, you can choose a skill, go to click on an ant and you find that the game has unclicked the skill! Very frustrating! 2) You are not able to see the whole level at the beginning so when you scroll around to see what is coming next you invariably lose a few ants. You can’t even scroll around when you hit pause. It would also be much more playable if you could zoom out much further so you can see the whole level. Fix these faults and you would have a terrific game! ### 2/5 — Stairs *2020-01-22* If you fix the stairs not working I would play the game. ### 2/5 — Too Many Ads *2019-12-07* i have to agree with everyone else, the overall game is actually good but there are way too many ads. you click into a level and there is an ad and another one when you click play. on top of that they glitch a good bit and no option to buy a full no ad version ### 2/5 — Almost!!! *2019-10-10* Very similar to lemmings & almost as fun. The fact that you can’t see the entire screen at once & scrolling doesn’t work (you have to tap the screen, slide, slide, slide to see the end & repeat to get back to the start) and the amount of ads make this not as enjoyable. I’d pay $.50 for this app & 0 ads but nothing more. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2019-01-11* Love Lemmings. Thought this would be a fun new take on it. I find the amount of disruption due to ads to be incredibly frustrating to the point of not wanting to play after a few minutes. In addition, the clicks are glitchy and some of the menu options in the toolbar (ie Fast Forward, sound etc..) simply don’t work. Also, the stairs don’t build properly. Overall very disappointing, stick with the original Lemmings. ### 1/5 — Deleting- only because of ADS!! *2018-12-15* Can’t get rid of ads and my kids keep clicking on them every two seconds!!!!!!!! WAY TOO FRUSTRATING. Otherwise game was fun. ### 1/5 — And the adds come marching one by one *2018-11-10* Not worth playing as it's just continually being interrupted by adds. What a shame. ### 2/5 — Ads *2018-09-30* VERY ANNOYING ADS. Please add an option to pay and opt out of ads ### 2/5 — Very annoying *2018-09-30* I used to love the original lemmings game. And this looked like it was going to be similar but my clicks often don’t work and the stairs don’t build easily. ### 1/5 — Save time don’t bother with this game *2018-08-10* Probly the most pathetic mobile game I’ve ever played, littered with ads that cover buttons your meant to press as part of game, very unintuitive and a disgrace to the legacy of lemmings. ### 1/5 — Ads *2018-06-24, version 3.0* 5 second game play, followed by 20 second ad. Then repeat ### 4/5 — Ads take the fun out of the game! *2018-05-04* VERY ANNOYING ADS. Love the game but ads make it so not fun. ### 3/5 — Ants *2018-02-12* Cool game needs work and the music is a bit repetitive but I like the game’s interaction time for “mayhem” ### 1/5 — Too many ads and game ads *2017-11-02, version 2.7* Way too many ads can't see game... can't even play first level too many ads all over it.. I would love this game if I could see it and actually play it.. the ads are on the buttons can’t press anything ### 1/5 — Ads *2017-06-20, version 2.7* I know it's free but can't get a feel for the game with ads every 10 seconds. Try before you buy doesn't work here ### 1/5 — Too many in your face ads to even try *2017-05-18, version 2.7* Got annoyed trying to play two levels and seeing 5 ads. ### 2/5 — Ads cover content! *2017-04-26, version 2.6* There are levels you can't play because the ads are blocking them! Is there an "AD FREE" version? If not, can you make one please! ... Or move the ads so they don't block ANYTHING. ### 1/5 — Clunky and full of ads *2017-03-04, version 2.5* Poor responsiveness and the ads overwhelm the play. Not a fun experience. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Far, far too many ads to be able to enjoy the game *2021-12-07, version 3.0* Even before I played the very first level there were several ads - this gives a very bad impression. Parts of the screen are hidden by clickable ads during gameplay also, so there is not much going for this game. ### 1/5 — Not quite *2020-11-10* It may have been inspired by Lemmings, but it is no where in the same category. Extremely simplistic, ads are annoying. ### 1/5 — No thank you *2020-06-10* The very first advertisement in this game was a sniper shooting people and getting money for it. 100% NO THANK YOU ! ### 1/5 — Adware *2019-10-05* Had to watch an ad before the first level started, a few clicks in.. another ad.. this is just click bait. You end up watching ads more than you play the game. ### 1/5 — Ads! Ads!Ads!... *2019-08-28, version 3.0* Downloaded the game, for the first time and got hit with an ad before I even got to play the first stage so I closed the app and deleted it... probably should hold back on those damn ads if you want to keep people interested. Its a no for me. ### 1/5 — Cute but *2019-05-12* Extremely advertising heavy and not very responsive gameplay. Fudged through one level then deleted. ### 1/5 — Didn’t make it past the opening credits. *2019-04-23* The game opened nicely with a catchy tune, it briefly paused which I assumed would be a tutorial coming next. It was an advert. Closed and deleted within 30 seconds of downloading and opening. ### 1/5 — Needs improvement. Deleted. *2019-02-16* Ads are brutally invasive and block the screen to the point you can see the controls. It’s easy to tap on an ant and not have the command register. Needs serious improvement. ### 1/5 — TO MANY GLITCHES!!! WASTE OF TIME *2019-02-10* THERE ARE SO MANY GLITCHES THAT THIS GAME IS TERRIBLE!!!!!!! WHAT A WASTE OF TIME!!! ALSO, THERE ARE SO MANY ADS THAT COME UP THAT IT MAKES PLAYING RIDICULOUS. THE ADS GET IN THE WAY WHILE TRYING TO TAP ON NECESSARY BUTTONS. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS GAME TO ANYONE UNTIL THESE ISSUES ARE RESOLVED. I DELETED THE GAME AFTER A FEW LEVELS. GAMES SHOULD BE FUN, NOT STRESSFUL!! ### 1/5 — HOW MANY ADVERTS?!!?!???!! *2019-01-27, version 3.0* I couldn’t even play the game because of so many pop ups!! Then I tried to upgrade to get rid of them... it said”purchase successful” and there was still loads of adverts popping up... what a terrible app! Way to get rid of potential players for good! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — BRING THIS BACK!! *2026-02-19* i loved this game as a kid my dad had it on his phone and now when i try and open it it instantly closes.
