### 4/5 — Хороша, но сложна

*2026-05-04*

Невозможно в начале развиться, жуки идут сразу сильные и недостает энергии на роботов

### 4/5 — Divertente

*2024-10-28, version 1.0.136*

Gioco divertente, meccaniche semplici. Il gioco ha grandi potenzialità, spero facciano aggiornamenti per aggiungere unità e strutture, e magari la possibilità di posizionare le torrette. 5 stelle se ci fossero aggiornamenti.

### 3/5 — GREAT GAME BUT…

*2024-05-20, version 1.0.136*

It’s a great game!.. but the enemies are kinda disgusting and kinda make me wanna vomit 🤮

### 3/5 — Addictive but impossible

*2022-03-30*

Intelligent enemies but you have mindless robots with no control. Your scouts don’t explore the obvious areas. You can’t focus your attacks. Your builders all work together on the same building. This makes them easy prey for the flying bugs. You only have a limited amount of building options with no upgrades the first three levels. Third level is impossible even on easy. Takes tons of time to play if you don’t pay the $1.99 to be able to advance the speed.

### 5/5 — Wow

Gioco molto bello e divertente

### 5/5 — Divertido

*2022-01-13, version 1.0.119*

Jogo que te prende por horas

### 5/5 — Impressed

*2022-01-07, version 1.0.119*

Its a nice game to pass time its quite fun i would like if it was a bit faster but overall its a great game

### 5/5 — Need more robots and levels

*2022-01-04, version 1.0.119*

You need more robots like a shooter  and a sheilder and also you can be one of the robots there should be pvp you battle different players you need you buy turrets and robots for the pvp

### 5/5 — Chill and fun

*2022-01-02, version 1.0.119*

Pretty chill game to play to waste time and have fun while doing it!

### 5/5 — Баланс

*2021-12-25*

Баланс игры плохой, но сама игра хорошая. Только невозможно разиграться тебя убивают чуть ли не в начале

### 5/5 — Love this little game!

*2021-12-17*

I absolutely adore this game, it’s both idle and rts making it perfect for all players! I personally would add the ability to have specific units target specific enemies, like having a scout loop around the entire attacking force and picking at the self-destructing bugs so they don’t hurt the mass of your bots. This isn’t necessary but would be really neat and add more strategy to the game.

### 5/5 — Ants

*2021-12-14, version 1.0.119*

Oddly enough, this robot game is the best ant simulator game I’ve found to play.

### 5/5 — Underrated

*2021-12-02, version 1.0.119*

This is is super fun! Especially when your bored without WiFi. Simple, yet so fun!

### 5/5 — Needs more features

*2021-11-22, version 1.0.119*

It needs more features like more types of robots and bugs also ADD MORE MODES like free play mode and possibly a sandbox pls respond and more detail to grass and land pls

### 5/5 — Simple an good

### 1/5 — 入れちゃだめ

*2022-07-19, version 1.0.119*

虫が強すぎ‼️

### 1/5 — Me dejo con mucho que desasear

*2022-04-30, version 1.0.119*

El juego es bueno pero repetibilidad luego del tiempo de jugar es demasiado aburrido

### 1/5 — Boring

*2021-08-12, version 1.0.119*

The game is very linear and slow. There is a 2x and 3x speed option but they’re blocked behind a price $.

There’s nothing to customize or research or build towards.
Units you build are locked to the base you build them from. Even if you have 2 bases side by side and one gets attacked, defenders from the neighboring base don’t help.
You build units and hope you have what you need to defend and resource harvest.
Your defending units’ AI is not smart. Defenders spread out and it takes a long time for them to get to your base when it’s under attack. Even fully upgraded, 25-30 defenders can’t take out more than a couple bugs before your base is destroyed.

### 1/5 — Almost good

*2021-08-11, version 1.0.119*

Interface needs work, the waves seem to be determined by how well you’re doing. I did runs where my economy was weak, the waves were weak, and vice versa…. What’s the point?

### 1/5 — Laggy

*2021-07-05, version 1.0.119*

It gave me lag even after I deleted it

### 1/5 — Just bad

*2021-03-29, version 1.0.119*

On the first level that I have been on for like 30 minutes still I am not on the second level and it hasn’t got easier there are too meny Beatles and it doesn’t stop then the “defenders” it is cheaper to get the explorers and get them

### 1/5 — Positive reviews didn’t play much

*2021-01-26, version 1.0.119*

I don’t know where the positive reviews are from. The first level is boring, and the subsequent levels are just the same plus more bugs and one different mechanic that defeats that bug. The much later levels are just a meta build simulator, wherein if you don’t do strat X, you lose.

### 1/5 — Rage game

*2021-01-15, version 1.0.119*

By the time my robots kill the bugs, time runs out and another swarm starts and I still haven’t replenished the robots that got killed in the last one. Either increase the time between swarms or make the robots cheaper

### 2/5 — エネルギーが足りてない

*2025-07-06, version 1.0.136*

いくらローダ置いてもエネルギーの沸きそのものが足りていないからロボットが全然出すことができない

### 2/5 — Unausgereift

*2021-04-03, version 1.0.119*

Roboter bewegen sich zu langsam, wenig variation in den leveln, gegner stecken viel zu viele hits ein und brauchen ewig zum töten, robotor können keine aufgaben zugeteilt werden sondern priorisieren von allein, maps sind sehr groß aber das ist komplett unnötig weil die roboter nur in der nähe der basis bleiben und man keine gebäude bauen oder roboter bewegen kann. Da gibt es um welten besseres auf dem markt, finger weg bei dieser zeitverschwendung!

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-12-30, version 1.0.136*

Had me going for hours

### 5/5 — Fun, but the wave timer is confusing

*2025-03-10, version 1.0.136*

I noticed that after like wave 30 or 40, the wave appears 3 or 4 seconds late according to the timer we see. My assumption is the visible timer is a bit faster than the actual timer used in the code. Try and sync them, thats all I want.

### 5/5 — 楽しいけど

*2025-02-20, version 1.0.136*

虫が強い　別に楽しいけど　追加したら楽しいこと ↓
1．虫を弱く！
2.ゲームモードを追加！
3.新しいロボット
4.友達と協力🤝
これを追加お願いします
楽しいゲームなので⭐️
そしたら評価が上がると思う⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

### 5/5 — Lo que dice kxusus

*2025-01-01, version 1.0.136*

Como lo dice le falta unas cosas y lo del jugar de los bots y q las bases ayuden a otras

### 5/5 — funny!

*2024-04-28, version 1.0.136*

### 5/5 — great game

*2024-03-24, version 1.0.136*

wish there was like some kind of sandbox mode with like inf ore and energy and you can place turrets anywhere

### 5/5 — Best 2D Game Ever

*2023-06-15, version 1.0.136*

You HAVE TO MAKE MORE OF THIS SERIES PLEASE ITS AMAZING

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-06-11, version 1.0.133*

### 5/5 — Great game, better than sequel

*2022-10-05*

First, I love this game, it has plenty of modes and it has multiple strategies. Second I have a few suggestions, first a bug health bar(optional please),Second a boss maybe when you get 1800 points or something, lastly it would be cool to have a bigger map or like caves. Love game bye!

Add-on: 
In my opinion as some tips for new players first, you don’t want multiple bases because it’s easier to defend one base and not three, two if a bug is currently attacking a base spam scouts not defenders,three don’t spend lots on scout spend on defenders. 

Again I Love the game bye!

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-06-03, version 1.0.119*

This game is weird at first but extremely fun
