### 2/5 — Warning

*2024-02-04*

If you are playing this game, do NOT buy the last super scanner upgrade. It does not work and sets you back to your normal amount in the beginning of the game, one. Also if you don’t play the game for a while, expect to have to delete the app and restart, which is what I had to do after not playing for a few months. It likely seems the only way to fix the scanner issue is by restarting again. And since I don’t want to restart a game from scratch a third time, I am now deleting the app. Was fun while it lasted though.

### 4/5 — Fun game with lots of easter eggs

*2023-03-25*

Been playing for a while now, and never thought I’d live to see it get updated, the new changes are welcome and am excited for the new game mode but some issues came up with the recent version and I don’t know where else to address them.

It seems for me that when given the chance to upgrade Management, everything just recents back to 0.0 and I lose all the progress I had already made. Additionally, I’m unable to feed any of the animals in Clone Park. 

These are just things I want brought to light, for anyone wondering if the game is actually fun, it is. The visual effects are cute, and anyone familiar with pop culture are sure to catch some references.

### 1/5 — Racist Depictions

*2022-12-28, version 1.0.6*

The game is fine, but I found that the racist caricatures of the people were very offensive. There was literally no reason to make them look like that

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2021-12-02, version 1.0.6*

The layout needs to be updated to accommodate for the iPhone notch. It’s been 4 years since the notch was on iPhones this developer is just lazy.

### 3/5 — Painfully Long Tutorial

*2021-08-17, version 1.0.6*

Just when you think it’s over and you have some freedom to start some upgrades, it takes you to another page to show you something. Was trying to listen to music but couldn’t even get to the game settings to turn down the music because it’s forcing you to press something. Played for like 15 minutes and could not find the patience to see it to the end

### 4/5 — Lucky digs

*2021-07-23, version 1.0.6*

I have the lucky dig chance upgraded to 50% but out of 19 digs it happens twice???? Am I missing something, it should happen around half the times

### 2/5 — Constant Bug

*2021-05-13, version 1.0.6*

Comments failed to load

Get used to a similar message every two minutes in this game.

### 1/5 — A Blatant Copy of Another Game

*2021-02-27, version 1.0.6*

This game is an overt copy of another game, “Tap! Dig! My Museum!,” and should be treated as such. Even from the start, the game takes the original concept and taints it with the addition of unnecessary mechanics, a more cluttered art style, and a ridiculous amount of advertising. If anyone enjoys the concept, but finds the game itself is not worth it, please support the original by playing. My Museum is, in my opinion, a hundred times better in comparison.

### 1/5 — Ad simulator

*2021-02-24, version 1.0.6*

The game is structured around you watching ads to progress. Theres even a daily achievement for watching 15 ads, what even is that?? This game offers no way to progress without watching 10 ads in one sitting. Also they have a feature to earn chests and then only allow you to accept said chest by watching an ad; no ad, no chest. If you try to just play the game without watching a single ad, you will remain around the tutorial.

### 5/5 — Good game

*2021-02-14, version 1.0.6*

The gameplay is good and addictive. However the only issue I have is that about half the time when it needs to load an ad it fails and you don’t get the reward or the game freezes and you have to reboot ( doesn’t happen as much). I have found that the best thing to do is collect as many of the coins that you can before hitting watch ad. For if it reboots any money left out is lost.
