The game play video and some of the screenshots are not actual gameplay. This is misleading and false advertising. Always lead with the primary gameplay. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-09-04, version 1.50.0* I have enjoyed this game very much. However, recently the constant ads, instead of being 15 to 30 seconds, the ads have gotten so much linger that it ruins the fun of the game. Therefore, It has become so ridiculous that I have decided to remove this game. When the owners grow their brains back, which is unlikely, I’d have considered continuing to play. No ads for these mobile aps should be allowed for more than 15-30 seconds. Mark my words. Players are getting fed up with this mess. ### 2/5 — Misleading *2026-09-01, version 1.50.0* Fun at first, after that, it’s pay to advance through the game. Try Zombie miner instead. Less ads and more advancement through the game. ### 2/5 — Fun but don’t trust the ads *2026-08-27, version 1.50.0* This is a fun idle game if you’re into those. However, do NOT believe the ads as they’re nothing like the actual game. I actually deleted the game as soon as I realized there’s no dozers or anything in the game that reflects the ads. Just one more disappointing app taking up space on my phone. ### 3/5 — Nothing like the ad *2026-08-25, version 1.50.0* I so hoped it wasn’t a bait and switch ad but it was. Game is nothing like the ad at all but it’s not horrible. Once I got over the frustration of it not being what was advertised I gave it a go. Not a horrible game but is getting repetitive fast. Don’t expect it to last for long but it doesn’t force ads so it’s ok. ### 1/5 — Misleading and waste of time *2026-08-24, version 1.50.0* I thought this game was relaxing at first but the amount of ads they make you watch to make any realy progress is absurd! Also these ads take you out of the game into other apps trying to make you buy something on their website! I’m not even in the damn game anymore! And there are at least 6 X buttons to get out of them IF they even take you back to the game!! NOT WORTH MONEY, FALSELY ADVERTISED, WASTE OF TIME!! ### 1/5 — nope *2026-08-22, version 1.50.0* nothing like the ads, and really boring ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-08-19, version 1.50.0* The ads in this game are ridiculous and non-stop. The game is becoming unplayable. Also…there is no point to this game, it is just a giant time suck. ### 1/5 — Boring Mind Dribble *2026-08-14, version 1.50.0* Just another boring repetitive game that makes you want to smash your head against a brick wall! Apple game store = 99.95% suck! ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-08-09, version 1.50.0* The game is absolutely nothing like the ads and commercials so you failed us ### 2/5 — Repetitive *2026-08-08, version 1.50.0* Very repetitive game play. Nothing like ad. ### 1/5 — Not the same *2026-08-08, version 1.50.0* Not anything like the ads ### 2/5 — Ads make game unplayable *2026-07-30, version 1.50.0* Game started off good but developers have now made the game unplayable by having multi minute long ads at every point of the game. Find something else to play! ### 2/5 — Why is my iPad heating up like hell when I get on this app!? *2026-07-28, version 1.50.0* This app is lacking quality. If you’d like to even have users on this app to enjoy its functionality, the least that could be done is to fix the overheating problem (specifically if a user wants to watch ads for offers the game is willing to give to players). ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible *2026-07-23, version 1.50.0* This game is very glitchy, it has problems all the time, even after you spend several hours accumulating specific prizes it just doesn't give them to you… What's really crazy is when you go to their "support" page and try to submit your information EVEN THOUGH THAT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY! DO NOT BOTHER DOWNLOADING THIS GARBAGE, THE DEVELOPERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT AT ALL IT DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY! ### 2/5 — Unlike the ads *2026-07-20, version 1.50.0* I deleted it once I found out ### 1/5 — Amazon *2026-07-20, version 1.50.0* This game allows an add that opens your Amazon app without permission ### 1/5 — Nothing like previews *2026-07-18, version 1.50.0* Disappointed game is not like advertised. Different gameplay entirely. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t match the ad *2026-09-09, version 1.50.0* Terrible game nothing like the ad ### 1/5 — Ok *2026-09-07, version 1.50.0* Absolutely nothing like adverts….annoying as that was what I expected…..false advertising again… ### 1/5 — Money grab *2026-09-06, version 1.50.0* The fact you make it impossible to do well in the challenges is crazy. I’m at the final barrier and still don’t have the mines operational from the first barrier because I didn’t buy the cards ### 1/5 — Meh… *2026-09-06, version 1.50.0* If only the game was like the ad.. it would be fun… but unfortunately it’s not and honestly the ad is more fun than the actual game itself ### 1/5 — Nothing like the advert *2026-09-06, version 1.50.0* The real game is so boring compared to the advert. AVOID ### 1/5 — Not the game I thought it was *2026-09-06, version 1.50.0* It is unacceptable that the ads for this game are completely different than the actual game. This should not be allowed. Change your ads or change the game. I’m so sick of this happening. ### 1/5 — Ads too long *2026-09-05, version 1.50.0* We shouldn’t be stuck watching an ad for 5 minutes. It’s extremely unnecessary to make them past 15-30 seconds long. ### 1/5 — Upgrading *2026-09-01, version 1.50.0* Why can’t you upgrade the delivery barrels anymore ??? It used to be an option which would allow you to move forward in events a little faster ? Now the last few events that is not available? What happened? I have had this game for a while is this so more money will be spent to move forward??? ### 1/5 — Bait and switch games *2026-09-01, version 1.50.0* When I download a game after playing a demo version it, I expect the game to be like the demo. This is another one of those bait and switch games. I immediately uninstalled. ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-08-25, version 1.50.0* The game is nothing like the pictures. Its a fraud & not worth your time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2026-08-14, version 1.50.0* It is really good 👍 ### 5/5 — Love but please adjust *2026-08-07, version 1.50.0* Can you please add an option to make the text bigger. I’m fighting a terminal issue and it’s causing my vision to go. I have to screenshot and zoom in to see the numbers. Please just add a settings option to make the text bigger and possibly an option to make the background fade. It’s something hard to see where the rocks are. Thank you for considering this. ### 5/5 — Bob *2026-07-12, version 1.50.0* The game is good and plenty to do ### 5/5 — Great game but *2026-06-24, version 1.49.0* This game is awesome I’ve played for years but right now can’t log in…? ### 5/5 — Theraphy *2026-06-20, version 1.49.0* Very therapeutic to see how they can progress. ### 5/5 — Graphics Nothing like the Ad. *2026-05-28, version 1.47.0* Disapppointed that game play is nothing like the add I’m hoping that it will eventually get there but the progression is so slow. Also can not zoom in on workers. ### 5/5 — Love the Game *2026-05-26, version 1.47.0* Been playing it for years, I’m waiting for the next mines to be pushed out until then continuing to do the weekly events. When are the new mines coming? It’s been 5 months since the last update ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-05-20, version 1.47.0* I love spending time here like good time killing game. But I have a question. Why do goblins have to work all the time? I really want an event where they don’t need to do anything or maybe some kind of rest? :D Hear me out I’m really worried about their health and mental health also. Waiting for an update! ### 5/5 — Add a function/Добавить функцию *2026-04-20, version 1.47.0* Добавьте пожалуйста функцию «забрать все награды/забрать все» из сундуков или после событий, чтобы не пришлось пикать тысячи раз. Лайк если согласны пусть увидят создатели игры. Please add the «take all rewards/take all» function from the chests or after the events so that you don’t have to pick thousands of times. Like if you agree, let the creators of the game see. ### 5/5 — I think it’s a very fun game. *2026-04-18, version 1.47.0* Hi! I think it’s a really fun game. I have been playing for probably 4 or 5 months now. It’s one of those games where you can still have fun without spending much money. Paying for no ads is totally worth it. Besides that, I like how you don’t need to spend money to play the game. It’s still fun without spending all the money. The ads for the game were somewhat false advertising because majority of gameplay is just mining but the ads are for the crusher truck which are a TON OF FUN! I don’t like how some of the special offers are too expensive and not worth the price. Sometimes it was more cost effective to just buy gems than to buy special offer. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
