### 1/5 — Instant delete

*2026-07-10*

Auto playing ads is hack design and gets deleted. Find a better way to make money.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I understand that unexpected ads can be frustrating. Ads help support the continued development of the game while keeping it free to play, but I’m always looking for ways to make them less disruptive, your review is noted and ads won't just play at random.

### 3/5 — Conveyers

*2026-06-28*

The left conveyers don’t work it just deletes the block

**Developer response:** Thanks for the report! This will be fixed in the next update. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know!

### 5/5 — Fun but needs a bit of polishing

*2026-05-28*

This game is fun and is definitely a game I would play when I'm bored, its simplicity makes it so you don't feel rushed to finish things and you feel you can take your time and not be slowed down by a lack of a certain skill or item. Although, there are a few problems I have occurred while playing this game, when I place a conveyor or a conveyor turn the items will sometimes get stuck if I don't place it the right angle but then rotate it to the right spot, this causes me to have to replace the conveyer which rarely works forcing me to close and reopen the app overall this game is good and simple with a few problems.

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing and for the detailed feedback! The conveyor issue you described was caused by a bug with in-place rotated conveyor, and I’m happy to say it’s been fixed in a recent update (1.4.7). I really appreciate you taking the time to explain what was happening. Glad you’re enjoying the game!

### 4/5 — It needs something

*2026-04-20*

It needs sandbox mode

**Developer response:** Thanks for the suggestion! A sandbox mode is something I’ve thought about before, and I can definitely see the appeal for experimenting and building freely. It’s not in the game right now, but it’s something I may explore in a future update.

### 3/5 — Fun but some things should be added.

*2026-03-31*

So the gameplay is fun and its cool, but you cant place droppers on the sides of conveyors which is kinda sad.

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing! This used to be a feature for a while, but it has since been changed. There’s a chance it could return in a different form in the future.

### 4/5 — Rebirth

*2026-02-02*

How the heck do you rebirth? I see “rebirth in 8 minutes” but I don’t understand how to do it. I’m having fun though, I like the slow paced gameplay.

**Developer response:** Hi, I'm glad that you're enjoying the game! Rebirthing is done by reaching certain cash milestones and is visible once your close to hitting (for the first time).

### 1/5 — Gems

*2025-12-22*

Grindy waiting system that doesn’t make the game fun.

**Developer response:** With quests currently being the only way to obtain gems it certainly can be grindy to get a decent amount of gems. Luckily now in version 1.3.5 you can obtain gems simply from rebirthing as well. Thanks for your feedback!

### 4/5 — Decently fun but some issues

*2025-11-22*

i like the game as i find games like this to be fun but there are some issues. i have the ore duplicator and it has no description on what it does at all and im assuming its supposed to duplicate an ore that goes throught it, which it does not. maybe add more decriptions so its more clear on what things do and fix bugs like this if its a bug.

**Developer response:** Thanks for playing and for the feedback! 

You’re totally right that it might not be clear how the Ore Duplicator works. It outputs any ore that enters it to the right side, but I realize that isn’t obvious without a description or graphic. I plan on adding more detailed item information in future updates to make things clearer. Thanks again for pointing this out!
