Has any one played both that can tell the difference or are they just pretty much clones? Trying to find some fun games for the holidays. Prank Ltd. Well-Known Member Feb 15, 2011 64 0 0 Tampere http://www.prankentertainment.com #6 Prank Ltd., Dec 29, 2011 We are sorry to hear you get these mixed, Boobi, because though both games revolve around ants, they are two very different kind of packages. As the developer of the other game, we are obviously too biased to compare them. That's why we recommend you to read a few of the reviews of Ant Raid and few of the reviews of Anthill, and hope it will help you finding out which one suits your taste better. But if you feel that's too much trouble for one dollar, we recommend you to spend two and just get both games -- you most likely won't be disappointed TakenXXDeadly Well-Known Member Jun 7, 2011 1,304 0 0 Student #7 TakenXXDeadly, Dec 29, 2011 Last edited: Dec 29, 2011 I have seen many price drops on this game, but have never bought it... Can someone basically tell me what genre it is? My internet is capped, and it won't load up the video. Is it an RTS? Edit: couldn't keep myself from buying this. Bought. All the impressions from the original thread made me buy this. Well, looks like it will be finished in a couple of days!

It isn't necessary to buy the bomb to proceed. Please follow the thread and see my later posting here. Sorry. Keep OFF Ant Raid!!! It's NOT a sale. It's a fraud! You can play seven short levels in "story mode" for a buck (sort of a 10-15 min tutorial) and then they want you to buy an "intelligent bomb" for real money. Otherwise you can't proceed. "Survival mode" and "Challenges" are locked. I want my money back! I'll report that to Apple. Bad confidence trick: Level #6 is ridiculously easy to lure you. And the next one is impossible to beat without the real money bomb. Deleted. Prank Ltd. is on my watchlist. Don't buy things from this dev!

Maybe the game changed? I know I quit updating apps jst because so many devs are adding IAP, and changing things around so the IAP becomes nearly essential, and in the original game it wasn't even thought of. Love to hear from the dev on this. TakenXXDeadly Well-Known Member Jun 7, 2011 1,304 0 0 Student #11 TakenXXDeadly, Dec 30, 2011 I'm sorry... What? Level 6 IMO was harder then level 7... You must be very bad at this game if you cant complete level 7. Its actually one of the easiest levels for me.

Could you cut it out with the hyperbole? Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #15 Habakuk, Dec 30, 2011 Okay. I'll look into that again once more. Which version of the game do you have? When did you update? (Last update was published Sept '11 according to AppShopper.) Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #16 Habakuk, Dec 30, 2011 Yes. Thanks. My mistake. Seems that I missed that "all healing" skill. Sorry. Level 8 is easy as well. You can smash those lots of little bees when you press that green switch (at the top in the middle) before. I take my critics back. The game is recommended so far but I am not 100 % sure with that "smart bomb" being necessary sooner or later. I'll believe you if you have more experiences with that version of the game. Sorry again. But with all that IAP crap one becomes more and more hyper sceptic. pluto6 Well-Known Member Jun 21, 2009 5,837 3 38 Military #17 pluto6, Dec 30, 2011 If the posts you made weren't accurate, you really should go back and delete them. They are very prominent, and likely to make people not even consider purchasing this game, which looks like it might be good. They made me stop. Habakuk Well-Known Member Dec 11, 2008 4,779 9 38 Vienna, Austria http://rossau.wordpress.com #18 Habakuk, Dec 30, 2011 Thanks for the reminder but I am pretty sure that I've done that already and as soon as possible. Greyed out and commented. I think it's better so because it was quoted and so people know where the quote is from. Said is said. Written is written. I beg for apologize once more. Buy it if you like realtime strategy puzzles and don't mind smashing bees. Virtual bees of course. Pixel bees. foxmulderino Well-Known Member Dec 30, 2009 2,916 0 36 Student Italy #19 foxmulderino, Dec 31, 2011 good game, I find it a bit simple anyway Prank Ltd.
