### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-07-14, version 1.4*

I downloaded the app and it was just a screen like a photo or something it completely doesn’t work

### 2/5 — Glitchy

*2026-07-09, version 1.4*

This game so glitch I toss a dynamite at the lava rock and it goes straight through it to the lower level without blowing it up
And lose my health and lost every single ore I had in inventory worse part is I paid for this game

### 4/5 — 何あれ

*2026-06-21*

このゲームはハマる人はとことんハマるかく言う自分もハマってるんでけど最後に出てくるモグラがノイズになってるあのモグラがいなかったらもっと良かったなって思う

### 5/5 — Excellent casual play, difficult to speed run

*2026-06-11, version 1.4*

The game is perfectly balanced and keeps you curious until the end. 

The speedrun challenge keeps the game fresh after your first play through.

Family sharing makes this game a good value.

### 5/5 — 楽しかった🐗

*2026-06-02*

何周でもできるゲームです！！！私も今8週目で土無くなりそうなってます！ぜひ！

### 5/5 — loved it

*2026-05-04, version 1.4*

this game was the best. I absolutely loved it, but the moles were a bit scary. Besides that it was great. I only got one achievement though.

### 1/5 — Very Short Game

*2026-04-29, version 1.4*

A 2hr game, a fast ending that doesn’t reward your time wasted, then forced you to start fresh after wasting time maxing out all your gear. No ‘New Game +’ type of reward. You unlock achievement/trophy hunting after beating it. Wahoo…

### 4/5 — AGADAH™️

*2026-04-13*

When playing A Game About Digging A Hole™️ I had fun digging a hole, I found the treasure and beat the game, the idea is a very unique one. And the storyline is beautiful, the graphics are visually stunning, and the gameplay is just as interesting as the gameplay. But, when I finaly dug the hole, it was sad that it all came to an end, but I enjoyed my time with it.

This really was, A Game About Digging A Hole™️.

### 3/5 — Technical issue

*2026-04-13*

Great game but I am facing issue with the saving (unable to touch the Book icon)

### 2/5 — Not worth the money

*2026-04-08, version 1.4*

For $6.99 this game is not worth it, it’s very short lived and can be completed in a day, this game should not be more then $2.99 don’t buy it
