Hello everyone,

I am a indie developer who recently finished an ant colony management game for Android.

I hope you don't mind I share it with you all. Looking for opinions and feedback. Thanks!

Here is the link:

Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest. -Proverbs 6: 6-8

Kind of reminds me of AntWar.io, but a lot better.

At first glance, this is the ant game I've personally been waiting for since sim ant. Looks really good

Looks awesome! Oh and, no offense, but I was reading the reviews and I saw that it asks for direct access to your google account. I would not feel comfortable with a game that has that level of access.

I've been playing this for a few hours now and so far it is really good.

I would like to be able to open the mini map up and see the whole map though. lol

I can't wait to see how the game evolves. I'm already an addict.

Hello, thanks for your feedback. It's just Android Google auto login system that many Android games use, so it can save and retrieve player data from the server. It never asks for any password. Regards

Why does that spider keep following the workers on raids..........

This is just like an updated version of simants, the red ants, spiders, everything. Lovely little game by the looks of it.

Good ol' Sim Ants. Loved that game. Do you eventually spread your offsprings to other parts of the yard and take over the guys home towards the end? lol
