Beeautiful (see what I did there?)
This is a great implementation of the game. The developer has kept it simple, sensibly, although the game itself is anything but. I’ve got the AI on the easiest level and it’s very hard to beat.
I haven’t bought the expansion yet because there’s a lot to learn from the basic game. It would be really helpful to be able to introduce the expansion pieces one by one but it appears that if you play an expanded game you have to play them all.
Also it would be useful to be able to turn off the green placement guides but it’s no biggie. If I were developing this game further I’d want to animate the movement of the pieces according to their type rather than just appear in the new position. So the ant slides around the hive, the beetle climbs on top etc.
Anyway great job.

One big issue and one small note
Solo mode good except for the neon green indicators for every possible move placement on your turn… it takes out the human element of being able to miss potential plays / setups. This feels like an enormous crutch / tutorial level of hand holding while playing. It would be great to be able to turn this off so it plays like an actual tabled game.
Update: The dev response to this review is incorrect and has misunderstood or not properly read the review and meaning. I am not talking about previous moves, but current ones.
I am taking off another star, as the matchmaking / ability to play with someone else in any form simply does not work. I messaged the developer who instead of being understanding and receptive to the issue, was a little combative and simply told me to get a refund from Apple.

Super zum Lernen. Nicht verschenkbar.
Sehr schönes Spiel, gut implementiert. 2 Spieler auf einem Gerät und über Game Center. Gibt’s nicht oft. Und kein Abomodell!! Da stimmt einfach alles. Sehr schade, dass man die App nicht verschenken kann, sonst hättet ihr jetzt ein paar Kunden mehr.
Great except…
Great except for the neon green indicators for every possible move when pressing any potential tile… takes out the human element of being able to miss potential setups etc. Feels like an enormous crutch / tutorial level of hand holding.

Response from developer
Go to Settings and turn Off the Show last move option to disable those green indicators. Looking forward to those 5 stars! :)
I love the app, but, I would rather play with the updates. Will that be possible?
I gave it a 3, only because I love using the updates. But if you add the updates; PILLBUG, LADY BUG, and MOSQUITO, I WOULD GIVE IT a 5 for sure.
