### 2/5 — Ants

*2022-05-30, version 2.0*

So, I played this game because I find ants interesting, and thought it would be a fun game. So, one of the things are, it rains underground. It’s not really possible for it to rain underground, unless it close to the top of the hole, or it’s completely vertical, also, ants don’t find new ants. The queen lays eggs, like any other bug, but the bosses and skins are good. Those are just normal game stuff, but please research before making a game with things like ants. The game isn’t the most fun, but it was ok.

### 4/5 — I mean it’s okay but

*2020-12-24, version 2.0*

I want to be the queen

### 1/5 — Can I get my money back??

*2020-11-07, version 2.0*

Not worth the money. How do I get a refund??

### 5/5 — Tick tick tick

*2020-10-25, version 2.0*

🐜🐜🐜awesome ant game this is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!!!

### 5/5 — More updates please

*2020-07-06, version 1.0*

Turn the base into a anthill, breeding, customizing and editing clan members, please!

### 1/5 — Trash game

*2020-06-27, version 1.0*

You can’t get out the den, your game is trash

### 2/5 — it’s good

*2020-06-26, version 1.0*

if you could get out that would make it a great game

### 5/5 — Food.( And other stuff. )

*2020-06-05, version 1.0*

So, Something wrong. WITH THE NUTS Or whatever the food is. I can’t even eat it. I thought you could only eat when it says “ your ant is hungry “. So I tried it. And I. Ended up dying of starvation. And, this is a tip. The restart button only restarts your mission. Not the game. So don’t you dare change that, Boris!
Other wise, I love the game!

### 2/5 — What scorpion

*2020-04-30, version 1.0*

I was enjoying this app very much but I hate how low our hunger is and how long eating takes, the bosses get to easy. The worst part is the worker ants who do absolutely nothing but walk back and forth and in the video it says help get food for the queen that’s why we have worker ants!😡and the Scorpion boss was never to be found in the game and what about a smaller map it’s to big and my ant is dead by the time I get to the fight.

### 2/5 — Glitchy and uninteresting

*2020-03-02, version 1.0*

I LOVED simAnt and hoped this would be similar. You have to ease your players into the controls and map. Not just “find food” and they have to travel a long way, can’t climb many surfaces so you think the way is blocked, and you don’t even know what you’re looking for. 

The “quests” of finding other ants was nearly impossible because the other ants ran away from me, or if I did touch them, I couldn't tell if they were added to my group or not. Then I got into glitches with running around where my ant was on its back legs running into the sky but dragging along the ground. I’m quitting and deleting. Fix it up and I’ll play again.
