Pluses: Many. The game is fun and one can play and win without paying anything or watching any adds IF a player optimizes a gameplay. I made it a point of verifying this statement and managed to pass all 91 levels without watching ads. Ads make the game more forgiving. I did pay $3 to remove ads at arbitrary moments, which improved the satisfaction of the gameplay.Minus: only one. The game hangs up at level 91 and resets at 61. I do fun passes to level 91, but I can see losing interest after a while without new challenges.

Quick review1 Star for ease of play at anytime.1 Star for having a low cost no ads buy in1 Star for being fun most of the time0 Stars for having forced ads every game0 Stars for having forced ads every gameLong reviewThe game really is fun 80% of the time. Some rounds do repeat themselves every 20 rounds or so. But after playing nearly 2000 rounds (yes 2000) I still keeps my attention for the 45sec it takes to win. I’ve only spent real money on the No Ad option but I still get SOOOO MANY FORCED ADS. My ant hills are upgraded to max using game coin but I still lose sometimes. I don’t know what diamonds are. I haven’t used the hero’s since early rounds. I don’t bother with the other features I ONLY BATTLE. Over and Over again. If they needed more money they should’ve charged me more no ads instead of forcing them. Even if I can click off after a few sec. It annoys me.

Love the game. Fun challenges and easy resets if you mess up on a level. Would love to see fewer ads. No matter how fast you finish a level, you’re required to watch an ad. And the multipliers for coins - while not essential for moving up - require watching another ad. You might beat a level in 20-30 seconds, and then have to watch 60 seconds of ads just to get to the next level. Can’t justify a 2:1 ad-to-playtime ratio.

They game is good… until it cheats and makes you lose to watch more ads. I’ve had enemy bases at level one produce more ants than my max level base and over power mine. I almost paid to remove ads until I noticed this clear imbalance. Also watching ads has different weight at different points, it almost seems like you’re punishing people for watching ads during a game for powers, instead of before. Also seems to be no way to get the powers without watching ads.
