Feb 25, 2021 The game concept is good and unique. But it has so many flaws. The AI need more works because they are idle 70% of the time and it's frustrating, especially the Loader. The resources spawn rate is so low that it's impossible to prepare for the next wave, not only that, the enemy is also too overpowered. Either increase the resources spawn rate/resource value. And the Scout are useless if you build it before the wave, they just scattered everywhere. Maybe make the unit control permanent features. more -
Great game
Jan 22, 2021 So this will be a long one so developers get comfy I love your game and it is absolutely amazing but I wish there was like a sandbox mode where you could have infinite supply sent you for materials and then Spohn in the enemies as you wanted to or there could be like a wall function so that the enemies we have to destroy the wall when you make it. This could leave this game open to being a really big success and I really like it and I’m glad that you guys decided to sit down and make a game it is very addictive it’s very fun I wish there’s a way where I can watch an advertisement to support you and it was just beautiful lovely so I can support you in some other way because I don’t feel like there’s really any ads or anything that I can do to support you and I would love to see that thank you more -
Feb 15, 2021 It's a good game. The autonomy of the units is interesting in a swarm AI sense, and their stupidity both frustrating and realistic. The ant-like trail following and random search adds challenge. The game is almost great. Don't like the towers. Can't move, change once built; too weak, short ranged; too few. Towers break the "ant" metaphor, there is no reason for them to be outside player control. I dislike the treasurer chests because there's no narrative excuse for them. Overall worth a download more -
Fun, yet simple
Dec 9, 2020 I love this game, runs on my iPhone 5 like a dream, even with 100+ bots. But I would like to see something like water, which your scouts/hornets can pass but land units can’t. And maybe a command bot, which is a bot that has a aura that will make defense bots fight better, and it will allow you to command bots. You would click on the command bot, and a pop up command screen will show, then you click “rally” and it will make all defense units in the aura come to the command bot. You can then click a area and they (with the defense bots) go there. And to un-rally, you click on the bot and click the “rally” pop up again. This is just a idea to make the game slightly more strategic, because I commonly want my scouts to head-off a group of bugs, but then they scatter and don’t even fight. more -
Feb 26, 2021 Game hits a slow point after a while and you lose interest pretty easy. There isn't much content to this game and it wasn't worth the money spent on it. I want a refund. Edit: I got a refund through the request a refund thing, but the developer still offered to give a refund, so there is another star. Service is great, gameplay is as advertised, but the game lacks sustainable interest. more -
This game is godlike compared to most on the AppStore
Jan 18, 2021 I’ve been playing this game for hours and I don’t think I’ve watched a single advertisement the entire time, in terms of gameplay it’s simple and fun, it has a clicker type feel to it but keeps you on your toes with constant attacks, the only thing I really want added is a counter to show you how much of each type of bot you have, it tells you the total but not the specifics, I would also love to see a bug healthbar, other than that this game is amazing all around, also little too for players that are stuck, if something is already attacking your base spam scouts not defenders, they’re cheaper and have the same damage per second more -
Apr 18, 2021 Its fun and very challenging but the most aggravating thing about this game is that there not enough resources energy in particular to collect at a certain point if there can be a perk to upgrade to allow more energy plants to spawn faster and more often in more places that would balance things out because you always end up with to many loaders and the suck up any enery that spawns so none get any it seems its aggravating cause its like the gain of energy is limited period eventually. more -
Beautiful
Mar 17, 2021 Really cool details in the game such as when the a collector robot finds a resource it attracts other robots to it like ants. This game also offers a few strategies to fight bugs for its simplistic but entertaining gameplay. You get the hang of it after a few games which means the tutorial is quick and easy. I like the multiple game modes, definitely a great addition. However the energy generators while they are decent when maxed out, don’t leave much to be desired maybe add another upgrade option to decrease the production speed. And maybe a ranged robot to offer another defense against more explosive bugs. Otherwise I really love the game keep up the good work! AND NO ADS!! more -
Mar 31, 2021 Listen, with games like this the concept is amazing and it is a genuinely fun game and I recommend you get it. However, the graphics of this game and many like it are quite annoying. They don't fit into a solid category, for a game to have good pixel art there has to be standard scaling, which is very hard to accomplish if you're not an artist. When you see an 8 or 16bit sprite move on a perfect 360°axis it really ruins the pixel game immersion that we all love. more -
Suggestions
Dec 16, 2020 ok so this is a good game in all but you should add a tutorial on level 1 like the basics and on level 2 and 4 you should make a tutorial about how traps and turrents work Anthor suggestion is that you should add more levels and make more types of robot like commander bot for example it can call any robot in its radius and it can be controlled by the person playing it This is a fun game u should play it :D more

Mar 28, 2021 I wanted to like it I kept opening it because it's a great concept and I really wanted to like it. Yet, each time I came away frustrated. The bugs are just too overpowered in terms of HP and strength. The whole balance of the game feels off & defence by any means is impossible late game. You can't make enough bots & the bugs just make their way to the base regardless because your bots are preoccupied (for AGES) on a single bug. A shame, really. I hope it gets a balance update in the future. more -
Feb 14, 2021 Interesting game to kill some time, game play is pretty pointless if you're trying to play a game to progress with content. For some reason the developer thought it was a good idea to put different content in different levels so playing the game as a whole is pointless. I would lable this game more as a time killer than something you play for its content. Game could be better if all content was in one game mode and levels kept progressing. Maps are also quite small and enemy needs balancing more -
Feb 17, 2021 The game is okay. Defender and scout bots are too under powered Enemies too over powered And spawns super quick I assumed the countdown timer is for when enemies will arrive however i have noticed that this is not the case so I don't know what's the use of the countdown timer for at this point the game doesn't even give you a chance to recover lost troops. Either fix the enemy spawn rate, or improve the defender and scout or increase loader efficiency more -
Feb 25, 2021 Nice idea and almost fun, but it's a bit too hard from the start. Would be nice to have a few levels to learn the game. But so far it's just build an army, watch them get wiped out by a single bug. Maybe I'm just bad at this, but it's not enjoyable. Feels like there is a serious lack of unit control. more

Feb 26, 2021 Absolutely wonderful, gameplay is amazing,and flows well, 2 things are my only "complaints" 1:no backround music (early/late game when you are just waiting around it would be nice to listen to something other than clicking) 2: a support/healer robot (a robot that is designed to heal other robots) i find that it becomes to the point of just spamming bots to keep my defenses up because minor damage stacks up over time. You might make it 50-60 energy to balance it since they are healing. more -
Pretty fun
Dec 17, 2020 It’s not like a groundbreaking game but definitely fun to play here and there. Although a few updates with more complex levels and bots would be nice instead of just 5 robots. Really glad it doesn’t spam you with ads though, really refreshing. more -
Such a simple game but fun
Dec 26, 2020 I love this game it is great to pass the time by and the only suggestion I have is that maybe you can add water tiles to the game so that nothing can go over it but other than that it is a great game, keep up the good work! -
Feb 18, 2021 I want you to add an UPDATE that will let players build bases and turret stands and more upgrading for speed and attack damage and load of ore and load of energy and also HEALTH oh and if you could build a healing base for healing the that would increase the life spand of a robot you have that is Broken/Injurd so then the game would be much better! So I could really use an UPDATE like that to make my personal Liking of the game but I have a lot of games on my laptop but Most of them I don`t like more -
Apr 4, 2021 I see others complaining about the balance of the bugs. However by altering how you play you can survive seemingly indefinitely (over 50k points on hard on each level where I just gave up). Remember, it costs 10 energy to rebuilt a factory and 20 energy for a single defender. Better to sacrifice factories and rebuild more

Mar 14, 2021 Its a nice game. Nothing special but its entertaining. My only real issue with this game is the AI for the robots. The energy and miner bots have a bad habit of running in circles not gathering anything. I have over 100 energy bots and only about 30 of them are gathering reliably. The rest just wander around the base like defender bots. more -
I really like it but
Apr 11, 2021 So I played through level one and sone of level two and I really really like the concept and the way the game is made but sometimes it just seems to difficult even with upgrades the bots still take forever to kill the bugs and even with loads of loaders (hehe) it still takes forever to get energy so it’s kinda difficult and slow more -
Needs more content and a little tuning
Dec 30, 2020 I finished the game in like an hour or two so it needs more content, a sandbox game mode could be a cool solution. The game is also slightly buggy and “wonky” one might say but it’s a new game and isn’t too bad. Overall 4/5, needs more content and fine tuning. more -
Simple yet surprisingly entertaining
Feb 9, 2021 This is a very simple game, don’t go expecting deep strategies with no 2 players being the same. But at the same time, I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed a mobile game so much, the constant siege of your bases keeps you on your toes and I find it brilliant more -
Feb 16, 2021 The game is amazing and addictive but the game lack of more gameplay and features. Plus the scout dont scout any more at certain point. They just keep running around and not completing the map. Also at certain point its really hard to obtain energy. Its hard to keep all your towers alive without enough energy. more -
Difficulty
Nov 25, 2020 So good looking game it is so hard I can not beat the first lvl can you make everything cheaper and add a tutorial that makes you upgrade stuff also please add more bases and robots and fix the robots so Thanks

Good Concept But Needs Polishing
Apr 20, 2021 Fun mechanics and strategy. Reminds me of Starcraft in some ways. It gets pretty difficult at level 3 even for medium. Maybe it’s just me but I cannot seem to get past the 6th or 7th wave of bugs. You’re still in the process of building your 2nd base but barely get by due to a potential bottleneck in gathering resources. Maybe it can be fixed by giving the defenders and turrets more health or damage. Another suggestion is when your building is destroyed and you have a few robots being built in the queue, you should get those resources back rather than losing them forever. more -
Apr 27, 2021 You can't... Control... Much of anything? The bots' movements are totally random, even defensive ones, so it's hard to... Mount a defense. What is the point of this game? -
It’s a good start
Dec 30, 2020 The game has a solid concept and somewhat decent, simplified mechanics. The problem is that at a certain point, the game gets cheap, rather than difficult. You can build up a massive army and be swimming in resources, but if the computer decides to send you a couple of exploding bugs, it’ll wipe out a good portion of your defenses with little time to recover before the next wave. more -
I had to create a new save because of a glitch.
Jan 11, 2021 I was on level 2 when all of a sudden the screen just becomes a a blank green screen where i cant do anything. When i tried to continue it still got stuck on the green screen. Please fix this glitch. -
Feb 26, 2021 The game is good but the ai and wondering around is annoying and the exstreamly high hp of the bugs makes it almost impossible to stop them from going to your base and how slow your units are and the low damage dont help aswell and cost dont help aswell but with that out the way I hope that you could add a feature to control your units more

What’s Groovy
Hello I like this game it’s fun and simple and I like to add some things to the game, well some suggestions, mabey add a range unit cost about 15 energy and mabey a other campaign but for bugs basically like you are the bugs instead. Mabey add a sandbox if you wanna play around but you have to complete at least 2 missions the first and the tower one. Anyways the range could have a very small cannon or a explosive, a explosive tank basically could be added. Mabey add more buildings and the player can place the building such as the building we have now but will cost both ore and energy. Also the player can place walls while the bugs attact the range units shot at the bugs. The bugs can also have a range unit like a ant with its acid or something.
Anyways that will be my suggestions to the game keep the good work

What’s Subpar
RTI. Real time idle? Sit back, build thing you have no control over and watch them as they are destroyed by things with ten times more health than you. Its like you are playing the ai you are used to wiping out with ANY tactics. No control over units, speeding the game up is a premium option and the enemies are hard as all hell. 'watching your units die' simulator is a fail for me.
