Excellent Tower Defense!

One of the best TD games out there! I’m surprised this game doesn’t get more attention. It has a wonderful story line, awesome graphics, zero issues and is overall very fun to play. Great job!!!

I love the lore and characters!

The colonel and king are pretty hot

Ants Have Queens!

Your whole game is based on a mistake. Ants do not have kings. They have queens, and the female ants are the foragers and the warriors. Males are drones, like with bees. The game could easily have been developed with a queen and with female warriors, like with ants in nature. This is such a detrimental flaw. The game may be entertaining, and yes it's just a game, but why confuse players about something so basic??

Fun tower defense, still too hard on first map

Early levels are fun, but I had to go back and play levels multiple times to upgrade my towers for the later levels. Too bad, I liked it at first but won’t play much longer since it’s too hard.

Entertaining

Good game. Works on old iPad.
Might reach limit of gameplay unless you pay
