Too Few Levels, No Progression, Bugs – Idle Ants - Simulator Game Review

I beat the entire game in 1.5 hours: The game was fun and slow at first, and I kept watching ads to get the bonuses, which seemed worth it at first. I absolutely hate how they force you to watch an ad regardless of if you will get the boost anyways. I ended up paying the $20 to remove ads and then get all the special ants. This allows you to constantly have 2x speed, profit, free extra squads, and free VIP ants. The game literally does not scale to this kind of play, and is why I finished all the levels in 1.5 hours simply by spending $20. This is not rewarding and is terrible game design. Also, the VIP ant lets you spam press it while it’s walking out if you have purchased the “remove ads” and you will get the money multiplied by the number of times you clicked the ant. Overall I liked the game at first, but clearly this is just to make money for lazy developers, who will post “balance tweaks and bug fixes” every now and then to look good on the App Store, but ignore the blatantly obvious problems with the game mechanics.
