Idle Ants Guide

1. Keep The Multipliers Active

You would naturally be inclined to start growing your ant colony as soon as you dive into the world of Idle Ants. It is a satisfying scenario to watch your ants at work as they tear down whichever object is available and observe them bring bits and pieces of it back to their anthill. It can be a much satisfying experience as well to witness as your ants increase in number with each upgrade and move faster as well.

Before spending cash on upgrades or doing anything else for the matter, what you should initiate first are the profit boost and speed boost that becomes available for you as soon as you start playing. The income multiplier is the most basic boost that becomes available and you can see its banner pop up at the upper left side of the screen. The speed multiplier, along with additional temporary boosts will become available via its respective banner that pops up on the right side of the screen.

Both multipliers will require you to watch a 15 to 30-second video ad to enjoy the boosts that last for about 30 seconds as well. It is important to note that while you can still make good progress even without patronizing ad boosters, doing so will tremendously speed up your progression.

The 2x income multiplier is the buff that reaps the most reward as you will practically earn twice as much for the duration of the boost. The speed multiplier lets your ants move a lot faster as well, indicated by the blue boosters that appear on their rear end. Both multipliers become more valuable as your colony grows and keeping them active as often as you can will have your ants gorging down items within a couple of minutes or so.

2. Maintain As Little Idle Cash As Possible

As a common feature across idle clicker games is continuous streams of profit that you earn regardless of what you do, a basic strategy that applies to all games within the genre involves keeping them at the minimum as well. Although having a huge reserve of cash is a sight to behold, the more cash you actually keep in stock means the less efficient you are in terms of managing the colony.

Every bit of upgrade you spend cash on contributes to an increase in your colony’s productivity. Holding on to any amount of cash that can be sufficient to purchase any upgrade means you are earning less than you should. As such, one of the key strategies you need to keep in mind and practice in Idle Ants is ensuring that the amount of cash you see at the upper left corner of the screen is always never enough to purchase any of the available upgrades.

3. Follow The Basic Investment Strategy

Relative to the above strategy, you are very much free to spend away your earnings however you want on the trio of upgrade options below the screen. Any upgrade purchased directly leads to higher profits in the same period of time afterwards and the more important aspect of investment in Idle Ants still revolve around doing so at the soonest and not keep any amount of earnings idle.

You will often be made to choose among speed, workers, and strength as investment options, provided you can afford an upgrade in each of them. Speed and worker upgrades are relatively affordable but strength upgrades are a lot more expensive. As you continuously spend the income you are earning on the first 2 investment options, you might worry about strength not being invested in enough as continuously investing your idle cash on the other 2 upgrade options will hardly allow you to amass a big enough amount of cash for even a single purchase of a strength upgrade.

Just to summarize what each upgrade can do, speed naturally increases travel time for your ants to move from the anthill to the food supply and vice versa. Workers relate to the number of ants you have in your colony and you can keep track of their numbers with the counter at the upper right corner of the screen.

    The game is alright, but the ads and clutter are just too much. You're bombarded with ads constantly - for double profit, temporary ants, a small amount of money, or after every level. You can pay to remove the ads, but playing for just 30 seconds and then seeing an ad every time is exhausting. Progress in the game is painfully slow too.

    There was a graphics bug in the game that I thought was going to be enjoyable and relaxing. It was working fine yesterday, so I guess the issue must be with the new update. The game is now impossible to play because the graphics are flashing like they're stuck. I tried connecting through WiFi, using 4G, and even in airplane mode, but the problem remains. I hope they fix this soon, but for now, I'm deleting the game.

    So, the app wants you to triple your reward for every level by watching a video. If you say no, you get a bad ad. If you say yes, you get a regular ad. I'm deleting it. It's boring and too hard to reach the highest level in the game. Don't bother unless you like wasting time. It's terrible and should never have been made. Trash! Just trying to take your money.

    I like this game a lot because it's cute and you can play it casually. I would rate it 4 or even 5 stars, but there is one thing that bothers me. When they give you the option to watch an ad, you can either triple your currency by watching an ad, or just tap to continue and watch an ad without getting any extra rewards. I understand the need for ads to support the game being free, but this feels like too much.

    The game is enjoyable and a great way to pass the time. There are a couple of glitches that should be fixed, especially when moving between maps, where your ants may get stuck and keep walking into the burrow. It would be cool if they added underground ant caves as a new feature, allowing you to upgrade tunnels and engage in more activities, such as competing with other ant colonies on a bigger map. The ads are not too intrusive, just one after completing a level, unless you finish it quickly.

    This game is super adorable and I had a lot of fun with it. Well, that was until I reached the third stage of the first world. That's when things took a bad turn because the game started having some serious graphical glitches. The ants were all glitching out, clipping into each other and sometimes just vanishing entirely. On top of that, the objects they were supposed to interact with were not showing up at all. It's a shame because this game has so much promise, but sadly it's plagued with too many problems.

    My phone is so laggy when I try to play this game. It keeps freezing and glitching, making it hard to see what's happening. The graphics get messed up too. Even though the game is fun, I can't really enjoy it because of these issues. I'm not sure if it's my phone or the game causing the problem. I'll still give it 3 stars for being entertaining.

    This app is really great! Some people mention that they need to watch ads after each food item, even when offered extra money. However, the amount given, around 3k, is quite generous for a "small sum of money." I personally have the choice to watch ads but it's not mandatory. Many reviews claim they are "forced" to watch ads when in reality you're not. For me, this app is very enjoyable and I highly recommend it!
