The gameplay has received mixed feedback, with many players appreciating the unique mechanics and graphics but expressing a desire for more control over ant movement and combat.

Players appreciate the potential of the game's story, expressing a desire for more structured missions and a narrative that enhances gameplay. Many suggest the addition of a story mode or quests to provide goals and depth, as the current experience feels lacking in plot and substance. Overall, while the game is enjoyable, users feel that a more engaging story could significantly improve the experience.
- “I really love this game and find the progression really fun. I hope they add more ants and different game modes, like maybe a battle mode or a story where you fight enemy colonies one at a time, and they get stronger as you go on. Other than that, I love it and wish I could do more, but I'll keep waiting for it. Great game!”
- “I really love this game. It has high potential, but I would like the game to include a story mode, along with multiplayer and local modes, and a creative mode where you can design the map as you like, add as many ants as you want, and spawn ants or enemies for epic fights.”
- “If we play the game as a queen (the player cannot move, just knows the ants' reports, cannot see the map correctly, and the map works in the background), the game would be harder, different, and more realistic. It would be so funny!”
- “There should be a missions or story mode so it does not get boring.”
- “No plot or substance, just ants.”
- “If we play the game as quen (player, cannot move, player just knows ants reports, cannot see map correctly, map works in background, if player gives a mission to colony any ant doesn't know until learns from other ants) the game would be harder, different, more realistic so funny.”
grinding

Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be slow and tedious, often requiring excessive scrolling around the map, which detracts from the overall experience.

humor
2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
100%
Players express a desire for the developers to incorporate humor through creative gameplay mechanics, such as a "god" button to influence ant behavior. They suggest that adding challenges, like limited player visibility and reliance on ant communication, could enhance the game's comedic potential by making it more unpredictable and engaging. Overall, the humor seems to stem from the interplay between player control and the quirky nature of ant behavior.
- “I wonder if the devs will be funny and add a 'god' button to help ants attack (magnifying glass).”
- “If we play the game as a queen (player cannot move, just knows ants' reports, cannot see the map correctly, map works in the background; if the player gives a mission to the colony, any ant doesn't know until it learns from other ants), the game would be harder, different, more realistic, and therefore funnier.”
