This plays offline, so it’s perfect. Keep up the good work! I am already at the Cobalt level. It’s addicting. ### 5/5 — Awesome++ *2022-07-14, version 1.22* Great idle game. ### 4/5 — Good but one thing *2021-08-14* PLS remove the click cap ### 4/5 — Thumbs up *2020-06-17, version 1.22* Very fun ### 5/5 — Deceptively good *2020-02-20, version 1.22* More to the game than first impressions. Starts off slow, but there is lots to research and collect. A game that doesn't bombard you with adverts every 30 seconds! Hats of to the devs for this. Sadly I missed the 24hr timer to go VIP and without the 50% discount a £13.99 price tag is too much for this sort of game. An opportunity to buy again after having time to properpely evaluate the game would be better. Perhaps an extra option of 99p for VIP per week might encourage more people to spend. After all you don't have adverts and that is a major advantage over the thousands of other similar games. ### 5/5 — Actually pretty good *2020-01-30* I hardly write reviews and when I do, it’s always because it’s something outstanding that goes up and beyond what I expect. First look at this game, it’s hard to be compelled with retro-8bit graphics with what is around these days. But exactly this, is what makes it. It’s the underdog that has come out and performed beautifully. The game itself is very good. There is a continuous sense of progression that isn’t too hard and grindy, nor too easy to progress. It’s decent and addicting. Also what I love is that there are no ads, continuous play and is NOT pay-to-win which is actually unbelievable because that’s what 80% if games are these days in mobile. All in all, a decent, well-thought out game that is rare to find these days. Keep it up 🤙🏻 ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-01-13, version 1.22* I love idle clicker games in general but I’m particularly addicted to this one. I like that it’s not like a lot of other clicker games where you HAVE to buy gems and coins and stuff, or the games that get super boring after a certain point because there’s nothing left to do. I’ve spent an embarrassing amount of time playing this already and I only started playing it yesterday lol ### 3/5 — Pretty decent free game *2019-08-05, version 1.22* If you are into mining it’s not bad. Screen is pretty cluttered. Just an idle game ### 3/5 — Ok *2019-07-10, version 1.22* No depth yet ### 5/5 — Great new incremental game *2018-07-25, version 1.22* Always looking for a new incremental game with unique mechanics. This one is definitely different and has held my attention for more than a day, which is always a good sign. Give it a try! ## Frequently asked questions about Dig Away! ### What kind of game is Dig Away! - Idle Mining Game? Dig Away! - Idle Mining Game is a retro-style, relaxed idle-clicker game.
