### 2/5 — 광고

*2026-01-28, version 1.4.0*

재밌어서 과금한 유저입니다. 예전엔 안그랬는데 광고가 너무 많아요. 버튼 누르거나 1-2분마다 광고가 나와서 게임 진행이 안되네요.

### 5/5 — Update game please

*2025-10-13, version 1.4.0*

I have played to the maximum level, please update with new levels

### 5/5 — 平板的問題

*2025-03-14, version 1.3.7*

1.
就是我比較喜歡手機版的操作，操作起來比較方便，平板雖然螢幕變大，但是也因為導致很多功能不能用，例如沒辦法一次全部賣掉礦產、也不能觀看影片，節省特殊礦層的時間。

2.我覺得那個研究礦產的部分，不能逆向操作，是一個可以改進的地方，因為兌換錯誤我就沒有補救的方式。
