I think even children would get tired of playing. ### 1/5 — SO MANY ADS *2024-09-06* I understand the concept of selling ads for games that are free, but this is beyond ridiculous. There’s an add more frequent than every two minutes. The game is not fun enough to justify the ads shoved down your throat. Save yourself some time and skip this game ### 1/5 — WAY to many ads *2024-07-31* The ads come up every 45 seconds or when you find a fossil, also it takes way to long to get back down to the bottom, not only that but it takes forever just to build your museum! ### 2/5 — Can’t go back to unlock the rest of fossils? *2024-07-21* It’s impossible to go back to older levels to get fossils from those biomes again. I dug out all the fossils for each level but never completed some before being sent to different biomes. ### 1/5 — WAY TO MANY ADS!!! *2024-07-12* I like the game, but it’s 45 seconds of playing the game and then an add for a solid minute. And then repeat that the entire time. ### 3/5 — It’s fun but… *2024-07-01* It’s really good game. I do enjoy playing it. It’s addictive and relaxing. I do take a few issues. First, being the fact that you only get three levels of the an environment and you can’t replay past levels to continue to hunt for fossils to complete skeletons. Second, being that you get like 2-3 of the fossils to the same skeletons over and over during the digs. Third, there is just to many ads breaks every like 30 seconds to a minute or less at times and it interrupts the flow of the game once you’re getting into the grove of it. That’s all I really do enjoy playing it though. ### 1/5 — Lame *2024-06-19* I understand free games have as but there is not a reason that makes sense as to why I need a break to watch ads every minute will be removing game after this post ### 5/5 — Very cool *2024-06-14* Because you make your on dinosaur musselem.give it a 5 out of 5 ### 1/5 — Bin durch *2024-06-13, version 1.0.6* Bin durch, habe alle Dinosaurierknochen gefunden. Nun kann man nur noch die Prozente an Einnahmen erhöhen. Schade habe mehr erwartet. Events wären schön gewesen. Aber nur den Sand einsammeln wird langweilig. ### 5/5 — ITS A FUN GAME *2024-06-03* This game is actually fun and enjoyable, I really love it! A great time-passer. Its just what it shows in the ads, probably the reason your reading this review. Don't get me wrong I’ve only played this game for two days, but I’m sure I’ll keep playing it for a long time. Obviously there are ads, but leaving a bad review for something that has nothing to do with the game itself won’t help the developers get rid of them. The opposite in fact, because It’s a new app. Thats where we come in, as players, here to talk about the game itself instead of focusing on things that can’t change yet. Just turn off your internet while you play. THE GAME ITSELF IS FUN. Try it for yourself. ## Frequently asked questions about Fossil Dig ### What is Fossil Dig?
