### 3/5 — I like it but

*2020-07-01, version 1.6*

I love this game but after the most recent update it deleted all my drones and reset my mines which is a big set back😭. please fix.
P.S I got to keep my money and gems

### 3/5 — Fun to watch, unclear effects

*2020-06-14, version 1.6*

Fun to watch the robots swarm around. 

I never did understand what the other upgrades did or how to unlock any of the “locked” buildings. 

There was one “Build” button on surface that summons a robot for a few seconds, who stands there and makes signals....
Then “+0.15%” appears and the robot goes away.
After about 30 tries I still have no idea what the effect of this button is....

### 3/5 — A liL confusing

*2020-06-12, version 1.6*

When you start it doesn’t give you a tutorial on how to work it and what the point is and the movements on the camera are really weird and idk why put when you tap it vibrates you phone a bit I don’t know if tapping does anything to gather you progress or if it’s even related to anything because I don’t have a tutorial to tell me

### 5/5 — I don’t know what it is

*2020-06-12, version 1.6*

Honestly I don’t know what it is about this game but it’s just fun. I saw the reviews about this game and I couldn’t understand why people were kinda hating on it honestly.

This game isn’t like those other games were every minute you have to watch an ad,and in this game the ads actually help you by giving you either money of more robots. And it’s also really easy for beginners, just buy like 5 robots upgrade speed like two taps and just keep clicking.

Devs great game I honestly have nothing to complain

### 4/5 — After update...

*2020-06-08, version 1.6*

My first world section only allows two types of drone and completely reset all my workers to zero.
The second area also reset my workers to zero, but I kept my cash from before.. I was able to get my miners going again, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to unlock the next area... and the second spot on the plateau no longer uses 3 crystals to help build whatever that is. Is anyone else having these problems?

### 4/5 — 1problem! (Talk update for this review and scary end)

*2020-06-08, version 1.6*

I like the game it’s meh. I think about the sight I see and I did not like it. It was confusing small and hated. You can see it if you install but this review was not for just talking it’s to show you the ways of my sight (and say hi!). So you start on Mars with 1 digging robot. Soon if you get money you can buy other ones but other than that the sight I saw was a small sight of everything. Everything is small and I don’t like it. You have now heard me......😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐............. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡............ GOODBYE 😈..............

### 1/5 — Progress Disappeared

*2020-06-05, version 1.6*

Was playing for a couple days.  It was fine.  Turned it on this morning and my game started over from scratch.  All progress completely gone!

### 1/5 — Broke with the latest update

*2020-06-04, version 1.6*

All my progress is gone and I can’t unlock new worlds, the first world never saves so I get so many gems from that. But I’m just stuck in the 3rd world

### 2/5 — Lost my data with the new update

*2020-06-04, version 1.6*

.

### 3/5 — Just why

*2020-06-03, version 1.6*

I was so far in up UNTIL an update hit and RESET my progress WHAT IS THIS? NOTHING BUT TRASH it reset my progress I am sooooo mad 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
