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 ### 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 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 ### 3/5 — 2 1/2 ⭐️ *2020-05-28, version 1.5.8* Not the average upgrade game ### 4/5 — One problem but otherwise amazing mobile game *2020-05-25, version 1.5.8* The one problem I have is that it doesn’t tell you that you can tap to make it go faster. Other than that, 10/10 mobile game. ### 4/5 — few things *2020-05-18, version 1.5.8* the enable/disable haptics (vibrations) doesn’t work and it’s fairly annoying. please fix soon! the camera is really weird. i think it would just be fine with scroll up/down and zoom no forced ads? yay! keep it up it has some work to be done but this game can get better but overall it’s pretty ok ### 3/5 — Good game *2020-05-14, version 1.5.8* Made the rocket now I can’t play new world soon??? Ummm I build the rocket y do I have to build it again and didn’t get a new world ### 2/5 — Fun but annoying crashing *2020-05-14, version 1.5.8* The app is fun and all but it’s annoying when your app crashes and or black screens when watching an Ad ### 4/5 — Needs sound *2020-05-13, version 1.5.8* Overall pretty good I just want some sounds or music ### 4/5 — Has potential but is hard to play *2020-05-13, version 1.5.8* The 3D feel is cool and a new touch to games like these but it makes it hard to move around easily. Also look at games like idle miner that is a very well designed game with some similarities using those similarities could make this game better. Overall a good game with small problems. ### 4/5 — Fun but has some bugs *2020-05-12, version 1.5.7* Great game play, I love that they don’t make you have to pay for everything and you can simply watch an ad for whatever you may need. There is a bug (at least for me) where it had issues downloading but after a while I got it. And the third mining site wouldn’t let me buy the first lower platform and I’m essentially stuck. Hope they fix soon. Good game though! ### 2/5 — Lack of content made up for with ads *2020-05-11, version 1.5.7* Between the lack of controls to turn of the vibration function, the obnoxious ad drone always in your face, and the absence of any sort of explanation of the “topside” features, this game seems like potential for a decent idle clicker smothered by an advertisement simulator. Unless you want to spend more time watching ads than playing the game, I’d steer clear for now. But hey, it *is* free. ### 2/5 — Finished the rocket, now I can’t play the game? *2020-05-11, version 1.5.7* Hey, so I finished the rocket ship part, but now I can’t continue playing the game. All it says is new worlds coming soon and when I restart the app the rocket launches and the same message pops up making me unable to play the game still. ### 3/5 — Worth the play. Hot phone. But *2020-05-11, version 1.5.7* Great time working through levels. I was on 3rd mine when I completed the rocket. Can no longer play. Anytime I open the app it immediately launches the rocket and says new area comming soon and doesn’t let me leave that message. Soft locks every time. Great time up until then. ### 2/5 — So so... *2020-05-11, version 1.5.7* The game wasn’t bad but fair warning: the crystal construction site on surface is a rocket ship. I finished it in the middle of the third stage and it goes into a cutscene of the ship launching and say “next world coming soon” and now I can no longer play the game. Awesome.... ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Broken with the latest update *2020-06-03, version 1.6* Just broken ### 1/5 — Yo it bad *2020-05-25, version 1.5.8* So I was playing it and the graphics sucked the physics were incorrect and this game smelt bad ### 1/5 — Needs Immediate Work *2020-05-12, version 1.5.8* I’m not sure if anyone is still even trying to complete maintenance on this game anymore, but I’ll state my issues anyway. 1. The most conspicuous issue is the problem where once a miner achieves the “infinity” status they: a) Don’t give you any money once they’ve been upgraded to that point even though IF they do return to the outpost to deliver what they had mined it says “infinity” in place of what the amount would be. b) Literally mines through the bottom of the ground and never returns to the screen...I mean this has to be the worst issue I’ve ever seen when it comes to mobile games; literally making the game unplayable. 2. The miners leave squares un-mined once the bulk of the miners have passed the area leaving a messy un-mined section usually near the top, and any other places. Suggest either fixing it or adding an option to mine it manually with your finger. 3. The developers are seriously lacking, and are completely irresponsible for leaving such a game breaking glitch in the game for such a considerable amount of time. I can see upon writing this review an update was pushed out 11 hours prior, but still the game is completely unplayable...what is the point of adding “minor fixes” if the game as a whole is literally unplayable. Regardless, the game concept is cool, and I don’t expect a whole lot from a game like this in regards to gameplay. I can see other players have ran into this issue as well and I can see the issue has existed for a considerable amount of time, so if anyone is still trying to fix the game it’d be great if we saw a fix to it in the near future. ### 1/5 — That’s it???? *2020-04-30, version 1.5.7* Can not modify my original review. Yes, I played 3-1/4 worlds. Then I was done building the rocket. Any update coming soon? ### 1/5 — Ad bait *2020-04-29, version 1.5.7* Cute idea, it is fun to watch the little bots buzz around and collect stuff for an episode of house. After that it’s just serving up ads for other games. About 1/4 of the time using the app was actual game interaction where the majority of the time was setting my phone aside to allow ads to play every 20 seconds. Usually the same 5 ads over and over again. Cute but boring. No personality. Unoriginal game type. ### 1/5 — Nice *2020-04-25, version 1.5.7* I like the idea of the game but I bought robots using the other bots and it broke my game collects the earnings offline but when I log in it doesn’t give me the money. ### 2/5 — Lost my data with the new update *2020-06-04, version 1.6* . ### 2/5 — Is it done? *2020-05-17, version 1.5.8* It seems like it’s an unfinished game... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Is that a jojo reference? *2020-06-03, version 1.6* Hi ### 5/5 — Great game but.. *2020-05-24, version 1.5.8* I upgraded to infinity on one of the mining bots and not I cannot do anything in the endgame. I’d love to finish the game but I cannot progress:( ### 5/5 — Umm *2020-05-23, version 1.5.8* I tried to crack my game by upgrading the speed but it did not work I think my iPad is to strong 😂 ### 5/5 — Not filled with ads *2020-05-17, version 1.5.8* First this game is not filled with ads that’s what I like most adjusting the screen needs work and I still have yet to encounter a bug and really fun ### 5/5 — Can’t wait. *2020-05-07, version 1.5.7* Fun game. Keeps me coming back to see progress. Finished it to the rocket launch. Now I wait for the next adventure. 👍😁 ### 5/5 — It doesn’t even let me download it *2020-05-05, version 1.5.7* When I click on the app it says “you already own this app” and “cannot download at this time”. I’m assuming that it’s something to do with this specific app becuase no I don’t own it already and idk why it’s not letting me download I reset my phone and it still doesn’t work. ### 5/5 — Love it! *2020-02-03, version 1.01* I love this game! Really fun, simple and entertaining. The only change I would like to see is the angle of the game to be better. I can’t see them work as well as I would like. ### 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 😈.............. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
