### 1/5 — Don’t Buy

*2026-02-01, version 1.6.10*

I bought this game for the multiplayer, but it causes the app to crash and there is no way to reenter the match. You can effectively never play a full game.

### 3/5 — ✨

*2025-12-12*

This game has very good simple gameplay mechanics. Kinda disappointed on how chaotic the Version 2 of this is.
I hope they come back to this game and add more stuff.

### 2/5 — IDK

*2025-08-22, version 1.6.9*

I like survival, really fun, had to pay a little bit of real money to get ahead of levels. Then it was really fun again. Then mineral deposits ran out, would be nice if more could spawn. I thought that was going to happen,  kind of a important part of the game.
