Pocket Ants

Pocket Ants

For: iPad/iPod

Pocket Ants is an app under the "Productive" section in the App Store.  I can understand why because its really not a game at all, and there really is no point.  The game pretty much consists of black and red ants, and you just distroy them!  I know it doesnt sound like its too much fun haha but it actually is a weird way to pass the time.  When you start up the application, you are staring at a sidewalk with one ant hill and a bunch of black ants.  If you want, you can select the "Ants" tab on the right and select how many ants you want, what type (red or black) and whether or not you want them to be aggressive or calm.  I like to choose both because they will fight if you have them on an agressive setting haha. At the bottom lists different options you can use on the ants.  As they are on the screen, all they really do is roam around so you have to stir them up with something!  

The first option at the bottom is a deadly magnifying glass.  I know it sounds terrible but when you have it selected and you tap an ant, it will fry it from the sun!  Think thats bad, try the rock option.  When you tap the screen with the rock option selected, a rock falls where you tapped and squishes the ants.  The ants will then work together to get the rock out of their ant hill area.  There is also a "bomb" option.  You can place a bomb anywhere on the screen, on ants or even their ant hill and it will blow it up!  There is also a strawberry and watermelon option.  When you chose one of them, the ants will quickly scurry up to it and eat it.  You also have an ant hill building option so if you kill all your ants you can bring some back.  With the passway option, you can draw a line or shape and the ants will flowing that line in single file.  You can also effect the weather on this app and see how the ants react based on their personalities.  There is also a magnit and a firework option where you can suck up the ants and then blow them up as they are all close together.  LOL

I know this app sounds weird and cruel but hey, its better then doing these things to real ants right?!

Its pretty cool to spend a few mins. on if you are waiting at a doctors office or something, just to pass the time. It is also pretty relaxing and stress relieving.  

Here are a few pictures from the App!
