### 3/5 — Good game but

*2026-08-02, version 1.1.6*

Don’t try and buy anything it never goes through

### 1/5 — Voleur

*2026-07-15, version 1.1.6*

Ne faite pas d’achat sur se jeux ces une arnaque

### 4/5 — Luke

*2026-02-27, version 1.1.6*

The game is fun but could do with some more tasks I have unlocked every thing you can and it says new mine coming soon that’s been for around 3 years please bring some updates because I’m considering getting rid off the game soon

### 2/5 — Płatność

*2026-01-14, version 1.1.6*

Kupiłem diamenty z 24.99 120 diamentów i nie dostałem ich na konto. Jestem bardzo zawiedziony tym faktem

### 1/5 — Purchase motivated

*2025-07-23, version 1.1.6*

I’ve had this game on my iPhone for years, I’m near the endgame but is seems that the in game “tax” prevents you from progression.  Kinda a waste of time

### 1/5 — Do not buy add ons

*2025-06-19, version 1.1.6*

I have bought in game add on. Especially diamonds. Never did receive the diamonds

Update. It’s been a week since I brought this up. Still nothing yet. Where are my diamonds

### 1/5 — Horrible. No instructions

*2024-04-11, version 1.1.6*

All I can do is tap the screen to gain $1  
Just a dirt road with couple trailers.  Can’t do anything but just tap a screen.   
Weird game.  Doesn’t work or ????

### 4/5 — Hello Casual

*2023-05-24*

Hello casual in your next Update I was wondering if you could change some things about the game. When you have to refill the diesel fuel could you make it do it automatically please. Could you make it easier to get to get trucks and excavators please. I am a little confused about how to get the dredge in the game.

### 1/5 — Developers are gone

*2023-05-01, version 1.1.4*

This used to be a good game, now the developers don’t care enough to bring anything new to the game. They are still cashing in on people who buy things or “help us” so there will be new items. All these greedy developers are doing is cashing while giving zero in return.

### 1/5 — Too many messages

*2022-02-04, version 1.1.4*

Too many Messages
I can’t
