Idle Ants for Pc

I like tycoon games. I don’t download many app store games, but one day I decided to see what the app store had to offer. I saw that this was a tycoon game and sometimes I just like clicking on things to make numbers rise. This game is so close to being good, but the fact that you HAVE to watch an ad after you beat the level makes the game nearly unplayable. This app isn’t worth the $9.99 that removes the ads. Maybe $5, but all I’m doing is looking at ants run back and forth. I’d actually gladly watch a few of the ads that give you bonuses, but I don’t want to because the developers got so greedy that they decided to force you to sit through an ad after every level. When levels only take about 12 seconds to get though, you’re staring at an ad for longer than you’re looking at ants. It probably gets as bad as 30 seconds of level, 30 seconds of ads sometimes. This game should be called the app Ads. They claim in the newest update that there’s new sound design but the only sound that this game makes is the audio from ads. Ads ads ads. I get the feeling that the developer(s) don’t care because they probably make $200 off of each person from ad revenue. Apple’s not going to do anything about it. So the developers are going to sit there raking in money. And here I am, beating a level, closing the app and reopening it just to get past a level without having to sit through a 30 second ad.

My opinion about the game isn’t that it’s the worst it’s just not the best. Someone said there were a ton of ads but I just put my device on airplane mode so I didn’t get a chance to see if there were or not. But, honestly I don’t really like the game for the so fact that you just sit there watching ants go over to something and then take pieces of it into a hole. The only interacting thing you can do is upgrade and at the end either multiply your earning or push an x. There’s nothing to really do so if you’re looking for a game to just kind of sit and watch and do few interactions with then this is good for that if you’re looking for the total opposite then I’d say this probably isn’t for you. I mean, who knows? Maybe it is for you. Just because this is my opinion on the game doesn’t mean it’s yours too. If you want to see what this game is all about go for it, try new things maybe you’ll end up liking it. I don’t know. But, a heads up is that I think some stuff is over-priced. You shouldn’t have to pay for different ants that only have upgrades that you can just use your coins to buy. The ants in the store should be bought with coins not actual money. That is my opinion on the things I went through as I played the game. If you want to check it out I say go for it maybe you’ll end up liking it. Who knows?

It took me around four days to make it through levels 1-6 and I feel like it’s a pretty good balance of leveling/earning. 3x is always worth it and it’s just slow enough to keep you playing just to get that one more level. Will keep playing for more worlds and to 100% each world. About a week ago, when I would max out something on a lower world it would show gray for the same item on worlds above it but still let me purchase it. When an item was maxed out it would occasionally let me buy it and not increase anything. I feel like the strength is a bit unbalanced. It’s not really necessary to increase it over about level 15 and it doesn’t add to the overall the app productivity.

After spending some time on the game I managed to max out the 3 options, speed at around 125 if I’m not mistaken, ants at 143 and strength at 25. The game breaks going past any of these options and you either have to reset or simply wait out any ad timers there are. I sped the game up immensely through the use of ads, taking my play time up from 5 hours to about 2 and the game was over. The reason I did this was to not only see what happens at the high speeds and how many ants total you can have, but also just because it was fun to watch them deconstruct the foods at those high speeds. If there is any way for you to add more of anything to the game, (a prestige system, more food, challenges, color variants to the ants, etc.) that would be wonderful. Until then, I cannot give this game a full 5 star rating because of the game breaking elements and the lack of content past the cap.
