### 4/5 — Fun game

*2026-07-22, version 1.2.3*

Run game but the selling timers make the game die off fast as you get higher

### 2/5 — Sad

*2026-07-17, version 1.2.3*

Love this game but unplayable after level 3 it just keeps freezing and crashing. Please fix soon

### 2/5 — Could be fun

*2026-07-11, version 1.2.3*

It’s a ok game just to have something to do but they added timers. So basically you’re stuck waiting on timers before you. An advance any which is stupid considering the game is barely worth playing now they make you want to delete it.

### 2/5 — Great time killer BUT……

*2026-07-05, version 1.2.3*

Enjoying it is fun but since buying the in app purchases, it constantly freezes, and at times can’t even close out app and phone freezes. Never experienced this ever. If an update fixes this I’d consider a five star but at this time, no chance. If developer reads this please look into update fixes the crashes and constant freezing

### 3/5 — Gold rush

*2026-06-27, version 1.2.3*

I want to play the game, but the game keeps crashing…

### 4/5 — Bugs

*2026-06-21, version 1.2.3*

Been a fantastic game but for the past month it’s consistently freezing and glitching could be playing for 30 secs or sometimes 5 mins just keeps happening really needs a update asap

### 4/5 — Could be great

*2026-06-17, version 1.2.3*

I actually like this game. Paid for auto clicker and all that and now I’m 15 minutes before I can sell. The one minute was dumb but I’m wishing for that now. 15 is crazy

### 4/5 — Time consuming

*2026-06-12, version 1.2.3*

It’s a pretty fun game and I find myself wasting lots of time on it. It just takes way too long to progress, especially between stages.

### 3/5 — No instructions?

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.3*

Are we just supposed to guess how to play the game ? Yes it self-explanatory in the beginning but then you start getting all these things that you don’t know what they do.

### 3/5 — Great game 1 flaw

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.3*

The over all game is amazing. Progression of the game is very gratifying. The timer to sell RUINS THE GAME! Very frustrating and unreasonable waiting times as you progress. Devs please remove/reduce this!!!!

### 4/5 — Oil platform

*2026-04-26, version 1.2.3*

What does the oil platform even do

### 3/5 — Great game - stupid little things ruin it

*2026-04-01, version 1.2.3*

Great game, really fun and honestly extremely good for passing time.  I downloaded this game with no hopes and was pleasantly surprised with how well made and fun it was.  But genuinely what is the point in adding a 60 second delay timer on being able to sell, there is absolutely 0 benefit for the game or the person by adding this limit.  Please remove it and would make quality of life so much better

### 3/5 — Frage

*2026-02-24, version 1.2.3*

Wo kann ich denn das grüne Material verarbeiten

### 1/5 — Hard Cap In Under 10 Minutes

*2026-07-17, version 1.2.3*

You start playing going well etc etc but within minutes there’s a cap of selling only once every minute which doesn’t sound bad but there’s a limit of storage, which is full in seconds. Caps how fast you can progress without in app purchases. Waste of time.

### 1/5 — Waste of time!

*2026-07-10, version 1.2.3*

Starts off ok but by the time you have invested some hours it starts adding wait times to sell material. It was slow to begin with but the wait times make it pointless!

### 1/5 — Unspielbar

*2026-07-09, version 1.2.3*

Stürzt ständig ab, scheint auch ziemlich langweilig zu sein. Nicht spielbar.

### 1/5 — Consistently crashes, and freezes/hard locks my phone

*2026-06-30, version 1.2.3*

This is a fun game. But it consistently freezes my whole phone, where I have to hard reset it. Frustrating, cause it is fun while you can play. But it’s happening more and more.

### 1/5 — Pay to play

*2026-05-27, version 1.2.3*

If you release the mine button, the game will show a pop-up shop asking you to pay

### 1/5 — Worse game ever

*2026-02-09, version 1.2.3*

The game keep’s frezzing lagging and more I hate it so much fix it now!!! Don’t recommend this game to anyone!!!!!!!!!

### 1/5 — Big lag

*2026-02-03, version 1.2.3*

Install the game and i can’t play big lag and touch buton is not working… not playable 🤷‍♂️

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-01-23, version 1.2.3*

Constant crashes, glitches, have to restart. Not worth your time

### 1/5 — Abstürze

*2025-12-26, version 1.2.3*

Stürzt andauern ab

### 1/5 — Broke the game

*2025-12-24, version 1.2.3*

Tap too many times on collecting gold bars from the furnace and you’ll break the game, won’t let you collect bars to make more so it totally bricks the game and can’t do anything

### 5/5 — Great but buggy

*2026-07-08, version 1.2.3*

Yup

### 5/5 — It’s so glitchy can’t play the game anymore.

*2026-06-09, version 1.2.3*

It’s extremely glitchy just a heads up i’ve been playing it since the day that popped up on Facebook, great game until the glitching started, and he can’t play the game at all. Wish you an update the game allowing us to play a little bit find other ways of sending gold off 12 hours to two days later

### 5/5 — Fix bugs

*2026-06-08, version 1.2.3*

I love thing game. No adds. Since the last iOS update the game constantly freezes

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-05-30, version 1.2.3*

I like the game a lot. It has started crashing and the wait time to sell stuff is a little ridiculous.

### 5/5 — Help

*2026-05-21, version 1.2.3*

I need to know when I can smelt paladium dirt

### 5/5 — Quite a nice game

*2026-05-17, version 1.2.3*

Game is exactly as advertised. There are absolutely no ads whatsoever, which is a plus! My only dislikes are the fact that the unlimited clicker is hidden behind a pay wall and the fact that you have to wait to sell your gold. If we can just remove the times and constraints that would be great Great it would also be nice to know when we unlock new buildings such as the gold washer and the smelter for ingots

### 5/5 — Wait time

*2026-05-03, version 1.2.3*

Good game till you have to wait 5 minutes to sell your gold than makes impossible to buy gold bars area

### 5/5 — goed spel

*2026-04-14, version 1.2.3*

leuk spel

### 5/5 — How do you use the drill ?

*2026-04-13, version 1.2.3*

Great game really addictive, I have unlocked the drill but don’t know how to use it , does anyone know? Many thanks

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-03-25, version 1.2.3*

It’s fun
