Problem I have is since day one I can only play for about 5 minutes before it crashes and I have to restart. It got better for a couple weeks, but it’s doing it again! Fix the game! ### 1/5 — Purchase paid for but not supplied by your app *2024-11-12, version 1.44.0* I am playing the event Mysterious Space and purchased a upgrade to automate Henry. This did not work, it only completed part of the automation. When I went looking for how to contact you/dispute resolution I am unable to find any contact details for this. I need a refund on the purchase.How do I get in contact with you for this? ### 2/5 — It’s fun…at first. SCAM!!! *2024-11-03* Here’s the problem, it starts out really fun, You gain enough resources at an even enough speed with progress to move through the game just fine…. But after a while it can take days to move past one screen because the upgrades cost so many resources that it just is impossible to keep playing it without spending money…. This game is a TOTAL SCAM!!! ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2024-10-15, version 1.43.0* This game is just like most games like this, they show you one thing in the ads, but the game is completely different. They advertise that you can pick different area’s….. but you can’t. Biggest issue is that after around 5 minutes of game play the game shuts down. ### 2/5 — Most of the ads don't work *2024-08-26* For a game that depends on watching ads it's not just sad but totally stupid that at least half of them don't work. I don't mind watching them to get benefits in the game, but to watch the ad then get nothing, or worse, the game freezes, is super frustrating! ### 1/5 — Fake screen shots here! *2024-05-20, version 1.42.0* You get 1 star for using fake screen shots. The game looks similar but does not look like what is shown here. When will app developers learn! ### 1/5 — Not even close *2024-05-16, version 1.41.0* False advertisement, the ads I saw that made me want to play it were a whole different game in comparison. Sad. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2024-05-10, version 1.41.0* Looks nothing like the previews. It’s just a terrible gold & goblins rip-off ### 1/5 — Not fun *2024-05-08, version 1.40.0* Way to many adds getting ready to delete. ### 1/5 — Fake gameplay *2024-05-01, version 1.40.0* The game pictures and trailer do not represent the game at all. ### 1/5 — Review *2024-04-28, version 1.40.0* It’s not it says it is at all ### 1/5 — Not a fun game! *2024-04-26* Its started out okay, but then the ads. Same old story. Then decide to maybe pay for the ad free packet. Gets good again, especially those early stages, where you can get through them fairly quickly if you attend to your game. But ever so slowly you start to feel like you’ve got suckered into any other money grabber. Spend a few dollars here (being generous”a few”) and a few there, and then realize the monumental amount of time and money it would take to get anywhere in this game. I mean, the amount of money I’ve (shamefully) dumped into this gem already I’d expect to have few times where the game comes nearly to a halt in gameplay and game interaction. This happens often, and is unashamedly countered with other in-game events, challenges and mini-levels, in an attempt to fill in those obvious and inherently agreed upon dull moments in the game. But those are just as bad when it comes to doing anything at all at a reasonable pace or for reasonably priced upgrades and game packs. I don’t know…maybe there are those playing this game that have more money than they know what to do with and keeping the developer happy, and the latter is all too aware. As for me. I’m done with this one. ### 1/5 — Quit putting ads in the chests it’s so annoying to lose things that take awhile to open *2024-04-24, version 1.40.0* So annoying to put adds in chests that take awhile to open just to lose them ### 1/5 — Non stop crashing! *2024-04-22, version 1.40.0* Game concept is good, lots of interesting things going on, but I’m only ever able to play for 5 min or less before it crashes out, it’s consistent. Very mad I spent the no ad money and can barely play, fix your stability issue! ### 1/5 — Bullscrap *2024-04-20, version 1.40.0* The advertisement is very deceptive. It’s nothing like the advertisement. It’s the same as Zombie Miner and the Goblin game that similar. It’s total bull. The advertising is what aggregated me enough to do this review. ### 2/5 — Crashes *2024-04-12, version 1.39.1* Game constantly crashes and no app support ### 1/5 — Won’t let me play the second I get the game *2024-03-17, version 1.38.1* I got the game because it looked fun but it won’t let me play it at all ### 3/5 — CRASHES GLITCHES AND FREEZES NO REWARDS FOR ADS *2024-02-07* CRASHES in the middle of event. x 8 In a 30 minute session AD PLAYEDTHEN IT WENT BACK TO CLAIM WITH AD AGAIN AND WOULD NOT LET ME COLLECT REWARD OF 300 magic juice. BARREL SPIT OUT AD FOR MONEY THEN SAID WAITING CLOSED AND NO COLLECT ALLOWED. x2 AD PLAYED THROUGH THEN THE OPTION TO CLOSE ADIS JUST GONE FORCING ME TO QUIT THE APP THEN REBOOT,THIS GAME HAS TOO MANY GLITCHES AND FREEZES AND THE DEVELOPER DOES NOT CARE. I SAY THAT BECAUSE I-ALREADY CONTACTED THEM PRIVATELY B4 POSTING THIS REVIEW. ITS TOO BAD TOO BECAUSE THIS GAME HAS ABOUT 3-5 side games within the app making playtime more involved instead of just mining. THIS GAME IF FIXED HAS GREAT POTENTIAL TO BE A 10* GAME I WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING IN THEIR GAME TOURNAMENT SINCE I CAN'T GETTHE REWARDS AND THE FACT THAT IT CRASHES CONSISTENTLY WHEN IN THE TOURNAMENT IT MAKES YOU WONDER HOW ANY ONE PERSON CAN PLACE. NO APP SUPPORT CLICK ON IT THERE IS NO OPTION FOR DEVELOPER FEEDBACKS. ALSO IF YOU LOOK AT ALL REVIEWS NONE HAVE DEVELOPER RESPONSE SERIOUSLY IF YOUR GOING TO LAUNCH A APP IN THE UNITED STATES GET AN APP THAT CAN TRANSLATE TO YOUR LANGUAGE!!!>>>! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-11-05, version 1.45.0* Game has been abandoned and all the preview images are fake gameplay. ### 1/5 — No updates *2025-10-08, version 1.45.0* I loved this game so much but theres been no update for months no new event and no replies to emails sent. It's like they've given up on it. ### 1/5 — So very sorry *2025-09-01, version 1.45.0* I am to the end of content & am severely distrusting the “coming soon” sign. Without events running on the side - no reason to play. Such a waste of $$ ### 1/5 — Dead Game *2025-08-27* Game was pretty fun. However there hasn’t been an update in over 8 months. Used to have side events that would take place every couple of days but that has stopped. And especially with the town portion, it’s obvious you’re competing against bots. Making it so you have to spend money in order to beat them at the events. Save your money and time, don’t get the game. ### 1/5 — Upset *2025-08-15, version 1.45.0* What happened to the events?! And the daily goals?! Am I missing something?!?! ### 1/5 — Update *2025-08-06* Newest update added a ma jong or tile matching mini game, highly infuriating and monotonous. Tbh very clearly a badly coded attempt at grabbing more cash from unsuspecting players. Boo. Edit- newest update added a color vision requirement game. Bruh not even texturing the different colored bottles? Or numbering, lettering something. V v sad. Edit- events currently broken ### 1/5 — Lies *2025-06-05* 1 star for the lying images in the App Store. Why would you go out of your way to create fake images and a fake video? That’s FRAUD!!! The fact you call Wally in his story “Vally” just goes to show you don’t care about your game at all. And now the game can’t connect to its server. Game refuses to load. ### 1/5 — Money grab *2025-05-11, version 1.45.0* I’ve spent lots and played this game for a year only to find out it hasn’t developed new levels after 115 in main game or any area it says coming soon!! ### 1/5 — Lies *2025-02-22, version 1.45.0* 1 star for the lying images in the App Store. Why would you go out of your way to create fake images and a fake video? That’s FRAUD!!! The fact you call Wally in his story “Vally” just goes to show you don’t care about your game at all. ### 1/5 — Lies *2024-12-16, version 1.45.0* 1 star for the lying images in the App Store. Why would you go out of your way to create fake images and a fake video? That’s FRAUD!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Need more content *2025-03-03* Finished all the current levels. Fun game but more content, more levels are needed. ### 5/5 — Fun, fun, fun *2024-04-14* I rarely write reviews but I am really enjoying this game. Unlike other folks I am finding it smooth and not glitchy at all (knocks on wood). I would like to find some sort of explainer because not all the icons are self-explanatory. Developers: please put a mute button on the ads. They interrupt the book or music I’m listening to. ### 5/5 — Better *2024-01-08* he attention to detail in this game is impressive and the controls are smooth! ### 5/5 — like *2024-01-08* The sound effects are surprisingly soothing. Must download! ### 5/5 — 非常nb *2024-01-06* I never thought this game could be so fun ### 5/5 — Best app *2024-01-05* Gameplay is both challenging and enjoyable ### 5/5 — like *2023-12-31* The sound effects are surprisingly soothing. Must download! ### 5/5 — I love it *2023-12-30* A game that tests your brain power and skills, definitely worth downloading ### 5/5 — 5 stars *2023-12-30* The sound effects made me feel like I was really in the forest ### 5/5 — haha first *2023-12-28* Who would have thought Gold Valley could be so much fun?
