I still remember when I was in junior high school, I would play the black-and-white ant simulation game on the GBA while I was in junior high school. I controlled a small ant to find food in the grass and avoid spiders and centipedes. I spent an entire afternoon playing it. Now I have encountered "Crazy Acceleration in Everyone's Acceleration" on my mobile phone, and it instantly took me back to that summer, and I burst into tears😭
To be honest, although the name of this game has a bit of Internet influence, the core is actually quite hardcore. You have to play an ant, no, a whole family of ants! Starting from digging holes and building nests, arranging worker ants to forage, soldier ants to patrol, and taking care of the queen to lay eggs, this system is much deeper than the GBA model back then. The most important thing is that it actually has a built-in simulator-style operating feel. The sensitivity of the virtual buttons is well adjusted, without the erratic feeling that is common in mobile games. This must be praised👍
The classic scenes of ant simulation in the original version - sudden heavy rain, aphids secreting honeydew, ants marching to fight beetles - are all restored in the mobile game, but the picture quality has been improved by more than one dimension. The antennae swings and body details of the ants are all made, the physical collision of the grass is also realistic, and the wind speed will affect the scent tracking route. These details are really conscientious on the 5.0 platform.
The most amazing thing is the "Crazy Acceleration" mode, which allows you to experience an ant race. A group of worker ants rush home with food crumbs in their mouths. With the rhythm of the sound effects, it is simply an insect version of the racing level in the PSP "Monkey Catch"! When I was playing, my roommate next door asked me if I was watching Animal World haha😂
Of course, there are still some differences compared to the original version. The original version of Ant Simulator focuses on realistic survival, and it is common for the whole family to be wiped out if you are not careful; now the mobile game version has simplified some of the death penalties, added a rebirth system, and is much more friendly to novices. But veteran players should not rush to complain. It actually retains the "ant colony consciousness" system - you can only give orders, but cannot directly control the actions of each ant. The sense of surprise that "man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation" is still in our memory.
If you are looking for a simulator game that is both fun and in-depth, Ant World is definitely worth trying. You can play comfortably without spending money. The ants will work according to the settings. You only need to occasionally switch the perspective to appreciate them working hard - just like that afternoon when we giggled at the GBA screen. Youth has not gone far, it just changed the screen and is still crawling🐜🌾
