Pocket Ants: Colony Simulator

I really enjoy playing this game. It’s satisfying, fun, and a really good time killer. But it’s so hard to progress in this game. First of all, there’s the resource issue. There are certain resources in this game, such as honeydew, that take forever to get, and upgrades are overpriced. I really wish honeydew was a purchasable item in the game. Obviously, it shouldn’t be pay-to-win, but it’s just so hard to progress. Next is the rank issue. In order to unlock special abilities, you need a certain rank, which in my opinion is stupid. Why? Well, in order to unlock these abilities, you need gold rank. Which is about 5000 points. The only way to get points is to attack other players, and if you win, you only get 9-17 points based on how well the battle goes. And this doesn’t even include the amount of ads you have to watch in order to even participate in battles. And if another player attacks you, you lose points. Again, way too much work to put into. Finally, there’s connection errors, which is lag. Often times, the game has connection errors, and one time when I spent 5 dollars on the game, a connection error happened, and I was ripped off because I wasn’t given anything for the 5 dollars. I enjoy playing this game, but I’ll probably quit soon because I don’t want to waste my day grinding for average recourses.

Usually, the daily quests tells you to win 7 battles, ok, that’s fine, or it would be if the combat in this game wasn’t impossible. Usually, fighting a flayed with big level creatures, all your soldier ants are dead within seconds, so there goes half your army, and with soldier ants, they have the awful idea to make you get close to enemy insects to press a button to order them to attack them, making you get extremely close to it, causing half the time you try and tell your soldier ants to do their jobs to just get you killed and have to run all the way back. Then, once you lose all your soldier ants (which almost always happens), your creatures have to notice something and stare at it for a whole second to actually kill it, making it even easier then before to get your character killed because they hardly attack, and most creatures can easily one-shot you. As well as the fact that the creatures have to be very close to something to notice it, causing you to have to get very close to what you want it to attack which, as I’ve said multiple times, kills you. The combat is SO frustratingly difficult for no reason, the entire thing being die and run back 50 times until your creatures kill everything and have to rebreed every soldier ant even though they’re useless and just get killed off either way. I’m so sick of it.

This game is very addicting and I’ve been non stop playing but while I was playing I’ve found countless hard features and bugs that made the game less fun. One bug that I found was that your tamed creatures and ants sometimes can’t attack the Queen ant when in pvp. This makes it so you can’t get 3 pheromones for no reason at all. Also almost everyone I come across just stacks all there ants and creatures in a single place as defense. The winner depends on who has the better creatures. Another thing that should be fixed is the bombardier beetle. This thing shreds through ants and makes all your hard work just fall apart. There should be a nerf to the spray ability for the bombardier bug because it destroyed 40 of my ants in less than 10 secounds. Lastly the bee maze is just to hard for many players. You have 6 minutes to get past a super hard maze and if u don’t have a map or a guide then you practically lose. Not to mention each run cost 300 resin. These are the things that I think should change and it would make this already fun game better in my opinion
