You can’t really see anything unless it’s in the areas you mind cause there’s a little like I found some treasures that way because I went through it allowed me to see treasures so you should fix it so you can’t see treasures when that happens until you mine too them cause it works like a little cheat code for find the treasures and you should have it where maybe like I’m pretty sure because the orders they regenerate overtime maybe there can be treasures they regenerate overtime just it takes a lot longer so maybe every day there’s new treasures in one map and you should make sure that because I have this thing where I couldn’t go to a different app too should make sure there is always a way to the next nap ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-07-15, version 0.19.1* Paid 14.99 for no ads and I still get ads I don’t understand other than the mellow game ### 2/5 — Sorta fun *2026-05-14, version 0.19.1* Found the statue and the piano and now seems to just be pointless digging and collecting ### 3/5 — What’s next? *2026-04-19, version 0.19.1* I found the 2 items. I also found the edge and the bottom which made me fall infinitely… what now? ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-02-26, version 0.18.1* I press to dig, and it mostly won’t dig, get it fixed please ### 3/5 — Fun but glitched permanently *2026-01-14, version 0.18.1* Game is fun with plenty to do. But I didn’t get very far before it froze on me. I was traveling down to the mine and every time I try to open the game the same loading screen gets stuck. I have no way of fixing this so I guess I’m done. ### 2/5 — Cool game if worked *2025-11-03, version 0.18.0* Would be my third time starting over, but the first time I wouldn’t load me back into the mine. It would just stay on the loading screen with the bar half full. This was after a couple hours of play. I deleted the game and retried. Got a few hours into and went to get back on and now I can’t even load into the game. Not worth a third try. ### 4/5 — Just gets very annoying *2025-10-31, version 0.17.1* The door away from the houses is too low so I can’t get in or out of the houses, but I was building a house. I actually got stuck in a house and I couldn’t get outside so I had to hit the I’m stuck button so if you can waste the doorway for the houses, this would be great. The game is good. I just can’t get into my house. ### 1/5 — Stuck *2025-09-02, version 0.16.2* Stopped working for me stuck on loading screen. ### 3/5 — Game crashes *2025-08-17, version 0.16.2* Game crashes when I boom too much and ores respawn. Then too many loose objects causes some screen burn in (i8) There’s another janky bit I’ve found but I won’t say. And there seems to only be two stages. Radar also kinda sucks… maybe a concentric radar similar to Astroneer would be good. And the stage changing currency(?) maybe needs to be earned more intuitively if it exists in the 2nd stage. ### 4/5 — Ads *2025-08-13, version 0.16.2* Ok,listen,the game is fun but why is there ads whenever I sell,I don’t want to x2 my money or watch a short ad that lasted 10 seconds,moral of this review is please don’t make up watch a short ad and for the people reading I prefer the game ‘Gold secrets:sand game”’ ### 3/5 — Needs more maps *2025-08-12, version 0.16.2* It fun and all but once u get to the second map there is no where else to go ### 1/5 — WHYYYY *2025-08-11, version 0.16.2* I tried to play since it updated and now it's called dust and gold but I CAN'T PLAY IT AND IT BROKE MY HOME SCREEN AND NOW IT'S JUST BLACK😡😥😥😭😭 ### 4/5 — What now *2025-08-07, version 0.16.2* It’s a fun and satisfying game to play but I am on the second map and found everything there is to find even an old mining cave but I don’t understand what that’s for and I didn’t get anything. Hoping there are more updates soon and something to do with that mine I found and dug up ### 1/5 — Dreadful *2025-07-25, version 0.16.0* Actually have never written a review before, but I just had to cause how in the hell do you play this game when every second thing you do there is an add. Wasn’t worth the 10 minutes I played maybe actually got 1 minute of play time out of it the rest is adds. ### 1/5 — Game is a scam!!! *2025-07-24, version 0.16.0* 15$ to remove forced ads fine whatever… beat the first level unlock the ability to choose another map from like 5-6 options … that’s where scam starts … even once you complete the second map objectives there’s no way to change the map from there … just stuck with a giant hole … and on top of it on the third day of playing it is promoting me to pay 15$ to remove ads AGAIN! Game is a scam and apple needs to take note and remove this app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY this trash *2026-06-19, version 0.19.1* This game sucks, I wish I could give it 0 stars. You need to sell a lot of the items you find but every time you have to sell, they make you watch an ad. 30 second ad usually. Every time. Every 2-3 minutes. Or you can pay $15 to get it removed like they want you to. It’s literally a scam. DO NOT BUY. It would be fun if they weren’t spamming the game with ads. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-06-14, version 0.19.1* Having to watch ads every 5 seconds to continue digging a hole is crazy.. felt like I was watching ads the entire time, and there was no way to exit the ad after it finished. Complete waste of time. Unplayable trash. Scam… ### 1/5 — It sucks *2026-05-21, version 0.19.1* Holy moly I can’t understand it seid to sell it seid shop ### 1/5 — Wasted Potential *2026-05-12, version 0.19.1* It has the potential to be a fun game but the controls are clunky at best and the ads…. The ads aren’t short, skippable ones…. They’re lonnnnng… and constant… such a waste of a good idea. ### 1/5 — Game won’t load *2026-05-08, version 0.19.1* Was fun for a bit, game doesn’t even load now for months. I have the newest iPhone. ### 1/5 — Unskippable Ads *2026-04-14, version 0.19.1* Game FOV is a mess, and when you’re attempting to sell your inventory, you get unskippable ads. It literally forces you to watch ads. Uninstall app ASAP ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-08, version 0.19.0* It was a fun game, but the ads were real ridiculous you only find two big items and then after that, you’re just digging for nothing people say there’s another map but I can’t access it again. The ads are absolutely ridiculous. Pay $15 just to still get ads didn’t get my money back ### 1/5 — Boring asf *2026-02-28, version 0.18.1* Most boring game i have ever played. Deleted it after 5 minutes. Dont waste your time. ### 1/5 — Stopped Loading *2026-02-01, version 0.18.1* I was enjoying the game, but there are bugs. And now it won’t load at all. ### 1/5 — Spent 14.99 to remove adds… *2026-01-21, version 0.18.1* I played the game and decided I liked it enough yo remove adds. Shortly after paying the 14.99 the game crashes and now every time I open the game it’s stuck on a loading screen. Only thing that fixed it was removing the app and reinstalling but you lose all your progression so doing that isn’t a viable option. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-07, version 0.19.1* Best game ever my dad doesn’t get me games that cost money and I think you did a grate job ### 5/5 — Bhhg *2025-09-23, version 0.16.2* you can be through the rocks ### 5/5 — It’s fun *2025-07-06, version 0.15.2* It’s very fun ### 5/5 — Stuck *2025-07-03, version 0.15.2* Love the game but I’m only on level two and I can’t seem to find any way to progress all my items are maxed and I have found the chest and the car. Also they keep respawning can’t seem to find any way to get to the next lawn ### 5/5 — No way to leave level 2 *2025-06-29, version 0.15.2* This game is actually really fun until you finish level 2 and your stuck there no way to go back to the main menu or any way to travel to a new location emailed the support team never had a response please fix the game ### 5/5 — Hi Developer. Please read! *2025-06-28, version 0.15.2* Edit: Just finished Map 2. Waiting for more updates! I paid for No ads option, but I believe this support is not enough. Send me your patreon if you have one. Overall, this is an amazing game. Is it possible if you inplement a statistics screen? I want to know how many total objects I collected. It adds replayability. Also if you can randomize the rare items assuming Maps can be repeated. (Unsure if this is already a feature) Thanks! ### 5/5 — Hi Developer.
