Comments on Pocket Ants: Colony Simulator for Android

★★★★★ Taylor · Jun 14, 2026

As someone who actually has an ant colony at home, this is the best game for someone who just likes ants or likes ants and keeps ants. Very good game 👌 maybe you could add different species of ants to the game and multiple save slots to have multiple colonies of different species.

★★★★★ Janet Tabunares · Jun 17, 2026

This game is fun, and it can teach you how ant survive in the wilderness

★★☆☆☆ Eric Van Rossum · May 28, 2026

I have two complaints. First is, I am continuously matched with either someone who probably just started out or someone who's overpowered which results to a waste of coins, resources, and soldiers. I also don't want to trample newbies. Second is, whenever I kill a creature and collect the loot, it doesn't add to my storage which is highly infuriating considering how difficult it is to accumulate pheromones and creature loot which are vital resources in the game. Very, very infuriating.

★★☆☆☆ Jared Girard · May 29, 2026

The game starts stalling WAY too much pretty early on. 7 REAL LIFE days just to upgrade my queens chamber when I'm stuck at 200 total ants and only 50 soldiers? How am I supposed to rank up and do anything at all if I'm stuck waiting one whole week for a single upgrade that also cost thousands of resources to initiate? And I'm not even far into it, let alone once I get passed this. And upgrading water cost thousands of resin? Yeah no, the balance is a off way too early on

★☆☆☆☆ Apparently not Apparent · Jun 4, 2026

I can't express how much this games coding is a cluster flip, in the beehive the dimensions to get hit are so bad, the hitbox is probably slanted in the walls and the probability of a termite suddenly turning around since the dimensions to detect the player ant is so bad
