It both looks and plays like a Webkinz flash game. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2022-03-30, version 1.0* For a game that is essentially Minesweeper, it lacks some of the basic features that make Minesweeper enjoyable. The text is too small and unreadable for a phone screen. The fact that the second digsite costs 2000 coins per dig means that you earn less on average than you did at the first. The cost for progressing digsites isn’t unreasonably high. This game is an unsatisfactory waste of time. ### 2/5 — Unbelievably expensive *2022-03-17, version 1.0* This game has a lot of potential. The starting is good, the tutorial, the first puzzle, good theme. But to get onto the next dog you have to somehow get 50,000?? Considering you only get approx. 1000 cash per level. It’s simply ridiculous… ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2022-02-20, version 1.0* Perfect game to play with my kids. A little more forgiving than minesweeper but instantly familiar and fun! ### 1/5 — Сапёр на тему диназавров *2022-02-19, version 1.0* Забавная игра. Но чтобы открыть вторую карту с новым динозавром, нужно 50к золота. За уровень получаешь около 1к. Про стоимость последующих уровней я вообще молчу ) Либо надо часами залипать в неё, либо донатить. Но 50 раз играть на поле 10х10 мягко говоря не интересно. Не хватило и на 30 🤷🏻‍♂️ ### 2/5 — Не самый удобный сапёр *2022-02-18, version 1.0* Тот же самый сапёр, но с лагающим интерфейсом, неприятным откликом объектов, да и в целом нужно сыграть овермного раз, чтобы открыть хоть какие-то сложности кроме начальной (либо донат) Вторая звезда за красивых собачек и динозавров ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2022-02-12, version 1.0* I’m really enjoying the game! I’ve wanted a good minesweeper mobile game and having elements of a story and progress add to the return factor. Only small complaint would be the screen is oriented to one side so It can be difficult to play while charging if the cord is on the wrong side. Also the mark and dig icons can be a little tricky to tell which is selected. Other than that I’m really enjoying it! ## Frequently asked questions about Barkeology ### What is Barkeology?
