Bug Village... a new game for Windows Phone 7... and its FREE.
Full 3D world with little ants inside...
(it reminds a bit settlers... you need to collect resources to build houses.)

You have also money so you can pay one little ant 1Gold coin to speed up from 15 min of work to instant end...
There are also 2 hour work tasks and 6 hour work tasks to assign which for speeding it up costs much more.

The game is free....... but the Gold Coins are not! You start the game with 10 coins after tutorial you have 4 left.
To get more coins you have to buy them by REAL money...

140 gold coins = 1600 Msp. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOTAL RIP OFF....

Btw. If you start 6 hour work task... you need to wait with THE GAME... OPENED until it ends. T_T' Becoz If you shut the game it saves... but when you start the game the time goes from the point it saved. . .

I mean... that game doesn't make sense at all...

I don't get it, it sounds like advertising but from the middle to the end it sounds like a rant :P

I'll say that the part of having to wait with the game opened is moronic, specially on a phone (and considering games like that don't force you to wait in front of the monitor)...

And not being able to get "tokens" unless you spend MS Points? I doubt the guy who did the game will earn anything worth the trouble...

I downloaded it earlier today but couldn't figure out what to do after I built the ant-hill. I'll give it another go later, but yeah it's a freemium game. They're trying to capitalize on the success of farmville/cityville. It's not develloped or published by Microsoft.

The real story here should be "Implode!" is deal of the week! That game is sick, I've been waiting for it to be deal of the week for a while.

EDIT: I got to mess around with Bug Village for a while and you made a big fuss over nothing. You can buy coins and acorns to speed things up if you would like, but at no point are you forced to buy them. Much like farmville there is also special items/houses that requires coins only, but again not required.

Also, the game runs while its closed. I set the "small piles" to 2 hours, closed it and when I came back a while later I had less than 20 minutes. Neat little game if you're into the farmvill-esque stuff, however as with farmville the main problem I had with it was the several hour wait time for crops and such, this game suffers from the same problem.
