### 5/5 — More mines please

*2026-06-07, version 1.3.2*

I like the game but it needs more mines I finished all of them in 3 or 4 days I bought no ads so no problems there

### 5/5 — Giant Excavator

*2025-02-27, version 1.3.2*

I Like it Really Fun

### 1/5 — BORING!

*2024-01-27, version 1.3.2*

“TIP: Stay here to process mine”, makes this game about 1% play, and 99% sit and wait to be processed. WHAT’S THE POINT? Definitely not buying this one!

### 5/5 — Five stars rating

*2024-01-17, version 1.3.2*

Great job on this app!!!!!’

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2023-09-25*

By too many ads I mean that the ‘rest’ feature is incredibly annoying. The only work around us too close the game and go back into it. The rest feature just forces you to watch an ad. Yeah sure it gives you money after watching it, but atleast add a way to… well, not watch it. ITS ANNOYING AS HELL!

### 1/5 — Can not unlock anything

*2023-08-28, version 1.2.0*

This game is so hard. Can not unlock anything. It keeps doing the same thing over and over

### 1/5 — Way to many adds

*2023-07-22, version 1.2.0*

Fun but way to many ads hard to play

### 1/5 — To many ads

*2023-07-22, version 1.2.0*

Just to many ads.

### 2/5 — The ads made me delete the app.

*2023-07-21, version 1.2.0*

I don’t mind games with ads but every 60
seconds? It’s ridiculous and I refuse to play something that is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2023-07-17, version 1.2.0*

Ads every five seconds
