It's a nice concept/art but unfortunately the ads are too aggressive for me. At any given time on screen there are about 8 different icons that make you watch an ad. And then you're forced an ad every couple of minutes anyway. Basically ad simulator for most of it. Shame because it could be really good without them.

The ads are pretty intrusive and the game puts a lot of pressure on the user to purchase in game upgrades with money to progress. There are some cool mechanics, but it requires a lot of upkeep for an idle game. Miners get tired and you have to wake them up. For an "idle" game, this is nonsensical. Offline idIing is terrible too. I left the game for 2 months expecting solid advancement when returning, only to find nearly no progress made. The game does not feel true to the genre at all.

This is an amazing idle game. Best played when bored, you will soon not be! I've only been playing a few minutes and it's already very fun. One annoying thing is how many ads there are, and there's only really one ad that gets repeated, but apart from that the gameplay is top notch. This is a definite must have for idle gamers. And I am not a paid reviewer, or a fake one.

The concept of the game is great love how the game plays. The issues I have with the game is that you have to watch an add to get some rewards for example, the gold and diamond ores should be free. I have play some idle games in the past were I do see progress being made for upgrade and this game does seem to take longer in my taste.

I thought this would be a chang to the normal "idle games" category. I enjoyed seeing the building take shape in first level. After the first area was complete, it was honestly too want to continue on. It would have been nice for the way they dug to change or even the characters, more then just different hair styles. Neat concept but not enough to want to keep coming back to.

Just uninstall the game because it has many ads, when i level up, when i press meat, i feel like i was trapped to see ads, just let user have their control over when is the right time for user to see ads. I played "idle coffee" and it has the best experience in the game when dealing with ads. Overall i like the game so much. I just hate annoying ads

When the people say this game has ads they're right. I understand that developers have to make money but I dont like watching ads at all. I paid $2 for NO ADS, which is pretty cheap. Only issue is, THERE ARE STILL ADS. So what did I pay for? I feel ripped off. Click on the jumping guy, Ads. Click on the wheel, Ads. My guys dig something up, Ads. Ads that I PAID FOR NOT TO BE THERE.

Bought the Special Bundle for the no ads perk. Only thing I noticed was 20 free spins on the spin wheel. (Which may not have been related to my purchase) Then once those were done I had my 5 daily spins by watching ads. Otherwise, nothing else changed. Still a game loaded with ads. Google Assist helped with my refund. I suggest you do the same if you haven't already. Maybe it will push Google to tell the developer to fix the issue. Also has issues with not getting what you watch the ad for.

I generally like this game, it's fun and is a nice distraction. But the ad usage is obnoxious and the glitches related to these ads make the game honestly unplayable. I don't mind watching a 30 second ad to spin a wheel or to collect bonus gold, but a good portion of the time you will watch an ad and nothing happens. Additionally, when collecting money for a level up or some other "free" thing I have to watch an ad? This game is good for a few days at most

Greediness ruined what could potentially be a good game. The game is filled to the brim with ads. You get prompts to watch an ad for rewards all the time, but more often than not it plays an ad no matter what you choose. Levelled up? Ad. Added some decorations? Ad. Clicked on anything anywhere? Ad. I understand trying to make profit, but you should also make something playable.
