I your lookin through reviews you might as-well download to try it. ### 5/5 — We need Chinese language!!!! *2023-03-08, version 1.6.1* We need Chinese language!!!! 我们需要中文!!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing Game, Amazing Dev *2023-02-23, version 1.6.1* the game itself is very in depth and i could see myself continuing to play it for a long time. one of the crafting features busted on my save and i emailed the developer for support, within the hour he had it fixed. he was very friendly and helpful and resolved my issue quickly. you deserve a raise Pedro. ### 5/5 — This is a good game *2023-02-22, version 1.6.1* I love this game and since this was done by one person is impressive. ### 5/5 — The perfect idle game *2023-02-03, version 1.6.1* There aren’t many games like this anymore. It’s everything you want in an idle game, and lacks the one thing we all hate. I’m talking about ads of course. I’m an hour in and I haven’t even had to CHANCE to watch an ad. Message for the developer: Really good game. I’m gonna be playing this for weeks. Keep up the great work! I hope you find a real career in this! ### 5/5 — Really enjoy the game *2023-02-02, version 1.6.1* Very fun would recommend ### 5/5 — Awesome *2023-02-01, version 1.6.1* This is what an idle game should be all about… thank you for this… ### 5/5 — No ads *2023-01-16, version 1.6.1* Absolutely fantastic game the creator did a great job. ### 5/5 — Add more miners *2023-01-14, version 1.6.1* Games great all it needs is more miners ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Hate the updated forge layout *2025-05-19, version 1.11.2* Instead of having all metals and gems ready to be crafted at once, now its all compacted into 5 slots below level 250. What a low blow honestly ### 1/5 — What is the point? *2023-03-21, version 1.6.1* I’ve played enough idle games to understand the appeal, despite no real long term goals, as the games are designed to progress almost infinitely with arbitrary milestones. But this game manages to feel incredibly pointless in its achievements. Ever floor feels the same, every mine never changes, every “boss” is a boring brick of tiles, and every crafted item does absolutely nothing. The miners are nearly all aesthetic, with no real substance. The prestige system doesn’t give anything more than plain stats, and there’s nothing to unlock, no different ways to play, or “builds” to strive to perfect. I can’t help but wonder if the developer didn’t intend for anyone to play for longer than a week, but instead only intends to extract microtransactions from unsuspecting players. ### 1/5 — typical snoozefest. *2023-02-10, version 1.6.1* Cool game but nah not really though is it? Typical pay to win garbage. The different worlds have seperate prestiges which is the dumbest thing ever… Woooow. Lost caring when i saw you can just buy all the best characters with 1000 gems and other crap that costs money. Shove it. Play these idle games on steam instead. These retards only care about money. ### 2/5 — Mediocre *2023-02-19, version 1.6.1* This game has potential but is ruined by the 100’s of dollars for IAP buffs. I think it’s crazy to have these sort of IAPs when the entire game is offline and can be manipulated/ exploited with ease. Deleting ### 2/5 — Fun game, but breaks my iPad *2023-02-13, version 1.6.1* Ever since getting this game. My iPad has been experiencing heavy freezes. Even when playing it and it just freezes. Closing it does nothing and it spreads to all the other apps. Once uninstalled, the freezing and hard crashes never happened again. How odd… ### 2/5 — No progress *2023-02-11, version 1.6.1* This idle game does not do any notable offline progress, sure you get some ores but no levels progress if you are offline. Even if you are online but looking at a mine there is no progress. Gotta leave the device on. Is this designed specifically to burn out your device or is that just “feature”? ### 3/5 — Very nice game *2025-07-08, version 1.11.2* В основном все прекрасно, однако много доната и страдает автосохранение. Вышел из игры - потерял 2-3 минуты прогресса. Для тех, у кого мало времени и заходят только ради наград, это будет ужасным багом. ### 3/5 — Not a game *2025-04-29* This is planned progression. The element of choice has been dwarfed in order to generate infinitely dwindling content. There are better places to dwell. (Fun fact: There are only 3 english words beginning with "dw") ### 3/5 — It’s a fun game *2023-10-03, version 1.7.1* Overall it’s a fun game, not much idle gameplay other than the resource gain, stack tap power and watch yourself zip thru levels, id love to see more content added, the only issue I have was there was no tutorial on how to upgrade the forge which would be good for new players, and maybe some help navigating and explaining more of the tabs not just the 5 but each of the ones under the 5, maybe give some explanation to the stats, come into it with the mind set of this is a brand new game for everyone and you gotta hand hold, and also give the option to skip the tutorial if a player feels like thay know but can always re enable it, maybe add a dungeon part with some monsters, maybe some new skins for the blocks or miners/ tools. Overall I enjoyed playing ### 4/5 — Good just one thing *2023-03-08, version 1.6.1* The game is good just the only thing is that it says for orion that he is the master of infinite but can’t hold infinite? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-16* Good ### 5/5 — Brilliant Game! *2025-04-27, version 1.11.2* You can buy miners upgrade them to get you ore, you can tap on the screen to mine, you upgrade your mighty mining finger too to mine faster, this game has tons of levels to unlock and tons of stuff to enjoy! It’s my favorite game. And the price to pay for no ads is awesome too I got a wonderful deal where I paid 19.99 to remove ads get 500 gems as to boost my progress with and 7.99 for auto clicker 15 clicks a minute! The price is right and this game is extremely fun I love it! Oh I don’t know if we have TNT but it be nice to use TNT possibly have miners that use explosives and drills too. Please add explosives and drills for miners to use but maybe we get miners that use explosives and drills when they get leveled up but it just a suggestion lol I just started playing it it’s a wonderful game game thank you for making it! 😀 ### 5/5 — Super fun *2025-02-14, version 1.11.2* I really love this game and I see myself playing it a lot I do wish u can have it so you can put different loadouts of different miners on each mine and other things cool but better but I love it 10/10 ### 5/5 — More miners plz *2024-07-21, version 1.11.1* More miners plz I’m max already ### 5/5 — No forced ads, great idle game *2024-01-02, version 1.8.1* I’m going out of my way to show appreciation for not shoving ads down my throat. Need more developers like you. Getting mild stardew valley vibes. I like it. ### 5/5 — Love it *2023-12-21, version 1.8.1* I just love the game it is sooooooo gooood yeah That’s it it’s really good!!!!! ### 5/5 — One of the best simple idles! *2023-12-19, version 1.8.1* Feels good to progress, even without paying anything, and no forced ads. It's a simple but fun concept with forging and the new abyss providing some more fun ways to progress alongside the standard prestiging and leveling up. There's definitely some improvements that could be made, but the developer actually talks on discord and cares about the game, and it's a great small little community! ### 5/5 — Super good game with one annoying thing *2023-08-25, version 1.7.1* Great game but the only problem is that basically the only way to get gems is to watch an add by tapping on a bird and if u didn’t know a bird will pop up flying across you’re screen about every 2 to 5 minutes put that aside and it’s a great game I’ve played it for 12hours so far and I love it ### 5/5 — Fun game! *2023-08-02, version 1.7.1* Very fun game! Enjoy it so far. Lots to do and very interesting unlike some other “brainless” tap games. Looking forward to future updates! 🙂👍 ### 5/5 — 👁️👅👁️ *2023-07-09, version 1.7.1* Love a passion project ◡̈ cute game to pass the time. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
