We’ll have to think about that one and come up with something good for the black ants to do to defend themselves!

In the meantime, have you played with the “aggressiveness” bar in the second screen shot down? You can move the black/red levers up and down – so you can set the black ants to be more aggressive and fight back… or make the red ants calmer!

Hey, Keith. I am really glad to hear that. I think both of those new features sound great. My biggest request is some way for the black ants to defend themselves or fight back against the red ants.

Thanks Doug for the great review, we certainly appreciate the time and detail you put into this review!

We are trying to do like you mentioned – to release new fun functionality with new updates! I think the last update was a small fix, with the previous release adding the ability to build the red ant hill, set each ants aggressiveness, and percentage of black vs. red ants.

My new favorite option is now waiting to go live – Ant Mines… they are hilarious to watch and gives the “follow the path” option a little more flare as you can have the path go right into a mine field…

It looks like the next update will be an Ant Magnet… the first prototype I saw looked really funny as well. I’d like to encourage anyone with ideas of what they would like to see to let us know! We really want to put in new options that people want so that the app doesn’t get stale!!
