### 5/5 — Exelant

*2026-06-30, version 1.8*

I was downloading apps trying to find ones with no ads and this one was just the right one

### 5/5 — Divertente

*2026-01-18, version 1.8*

Ma che bella sorpresa! Divertente . Top.

### 4/5 — More levels pls!

*2025-09-16, version 1.8*

I really love this game, it’s been super fun to play! One problem though: I’ve finished the levels, and now I don’t know what to do! Maybe adding more characters or a new level of armor would solve that problem; completing more levels means more characters/armor unlocked! I would love to see it go past level 26! Also, just a little side-suggestion, when Alduco’s power-up is used, if he gets shot by a shooter alien, he dies. However, he can still survive the security bot blast? It doesn’t make much sense. But I would mainly love to see more levels and possibly characters!

### 5/5 — Needs new update for another gem

*2025-09-01, version 1.8*

I recently collected everything and I noticed that it still lacks another level to get the final gem for the last upgrade to one of the characters.

### 1/5 — Good Concept, Below Average Execution

*2025-07-23, version 1.8*

There’s too much screen shake, and no option to turn it off. Everything that happens causes the screen to shake, and it seems that sometimes, that results in the game not registering inputs. Missed inputs are unforgivable in a game like this. I’ve died on sandstone multiple times because the game just decides to have me dig down even though I’m tapping as fast as possible.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-02-25, version 1.8*

this is a great game, i was able to complete it after a few weeks of playing. be careful of buying upgrades though, in my first playthrough i was stuck in one mission since i wasted my gem in upgrading a hero and the mission required me to upgrade/buy a different hero. to fix it you will need to delete the app and start from scratch.

### 4/5 — Shockt

*2024-08-30, version 1.8*

Nices Offline Game

### 5/5 — Миссия 6к золотом собрать

*2024-06-27, version 1.8*

Делал эту миссию 5 лет.

### 5/5 — Great game

*2024-04-21, version 1.8*

Came back to this game after a while and found my stats reset. That was fine though, and I just played through from the start. Great game with really interesting strategies and techniques, would love to see more content in the future as I’ve now beaten all the levels!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2024-02-16, version 1.7*

Great app to waste away a quick interval of time - long or short!
