But great game! *2025-04-16, version 1.5.8* Good job! But I wasn’t able to go very far without needing to pay money…… ### 4/5 — Lots of fun *2020-08-29, version 1.5.8* Addictive game with good mining experience and middle range challenging environment. Kind of a slow grind on first 3 planets but gets more interesting after. Happy gaming for those who likes these kind of games. ### 2/5 — No Tilt Right? *2018-10-07, version 1.5.4* I haven’t even played yet. I fired up the game, tilted right, and the game remained upside down. Why force players to only rotate left? XCode largely handles the rotation for you. Let me rotate right! ### 3/5 — Save doesn’t work. Pacing too slow. *2018-07-12, version 1.5.4* The biggest issue with the game is that it doesn’t save for me between sessions. This exacerbates the problem with pacing. Other games in this genre have a much quicker early game update interval. With Mars Miner 2 you spend more time traversing back and forth than you do mining. The upgrades are then so expensive that it takes a long long time before being able to dig deep enough to earn some big money. Also because you have to buy ladders that eats into your earnings early game. ### 5/5 — Great game for what you need it to be. *2018-04-09, version 1.5.2* So I played the trial version of this game and liked it enough to buy it. I don’t buy games. In fact I hate buying games because you can’t just buy a game and have it be that game. You have all these “in app purchases” which drive me bonkers. But I digress. This game is fun. It’s hard and takes time so I feel like I didn’t waste my money on something that’s over in a day or two. Plus the graphics are good. And it’s easy to play when the wife is watching her “stories” and she wants me to hang out with her but I don’t want to watch the Heart of Dixie on Netflix. So I play this game instead. ### 5/5 — Almost therapeutic *2018-03-06, version 1.5.2* I absolutely love this game. I find it almost therapeutic in the way I navigate through the mines. Such a simple concept but have loved it for many, many years now. It’s always one of the first downloads I do when I get a new phone/tablet. Great game! ### 4/5 — Macht spaß *2018-02-18, version 1.5.0* aber nun hab ich‘s durchgezockt und am Ende kommt man nicht auf die Erde zurück. Nur eine langweilige Message, dass die Willkommenstorte noch nicht fertig gebacken ist und man doch von vorn beginnen kann 😟. Eine echte Enttäuschung. ### 4/5 — Needs changes *2017-10-18, version 1.5.0* First of all why would you have to buy a jump?! But game is awesome!!! Thanks for making the game! ;) ### 5/5 — Good *2017-07-21, version 1.5.0* Good game ### 2/5 — Ruined after the update *2017-07-18, version 1.5.0* This was my go to game when I had 5 minutes to kill. Now it's all gone dark it's no fun anymore. ### 3/5 — It's ok *2017-07-09, version 1.5.0* Not the most addictive game I've played but it is quite fun. Haven't been playing long but already the amount you get for ores and what your paying for in the shop is too vast. $1000 for a bag upgrade? If it is to be that expensive then make the lifts cheaper or something. I know you want to make some money and I paid for the full game last time and now you've brought out this? What about the money I paid before hand? ### 4/5 — Great game! *2017-06-21, version 1.4.11* I love this game and the original. I love the expansions, it is totally worth the dollar for the full version. I never rate games. Why it's not 5? Crashes very occasionally Original had the ability to buy large ladders ### 5/5 — 👍🏻 *2017-06-20, version 1.4.11* This is such a good game!! I got the first game and it was amazing 👏 ### 4/5 — Very Fun *2017-05-18, version 1.4.11* This is a very fun miner game. This game is free, but you eventually have to pay a dollar to unlock the full version if you like it. The dollar is totally worth it. I played from beginning to end and enjoyed the whole game. I recommend mining for the green miner corp crates and selling items inside to make money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t generate new mines *2020-04-05, version 1.5.6* I got to the last two planets and on each of the, the game goes into an endless loop saying “generating new mine”. There is no way out of that loop other than killing the game. I have let the generating run for up to a half hour and it never finishes. ### 1/5 — Super fun but *2020-02-27, version 1.5.6* It crashes at random intervals, please fix ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-03-30, version 1.5.2* It crashes every time on my device. Fix it please. ### 1/5 — Broke game *2017-07-08, version 1.5.0* Game was good until you added the Flash-lightly flashlight. ### 1/5 — Платная *2016-10-23, version 1.4.7* Максимум 30 клеток вниз, потом требуют денег! ### 1/5 — Wow *2016-03-09, version 1.2.1* Oh boy, this is by far the most rushed game sequel I have seen in my life. Now complete with poor quality textures and almost no new features except for new 'planets', which are basically just different colored clones of eachother. If you are thinking about getting this game, get the original version. ### 1/5 — Total rubbish *2016-02-26, version 1.2.0* The game is slow and cumbersome compared To miner 1. Very limited mining area before you need to purchase. Why you would purchase a boring game as this is beyond me. Don't bother downloading it. ### 1/5 — Gute Grafik, aber nichtmehr kostenlos *2016-02-15, version 1.0.0* Die Grafik wurde verbessert und es wurden auch die Animationen verbessert. Allerdings gibt es einen relativ kleinen Bereich, in dem man minen kann, wenn der voll ist muss man sich den Rest der eigentlichen Map erst kaufen. Auserdem gibt es einiges nichtmehr, was den. Charme vom Vorgänger ausgemacht hat. Fazit: Holt euch lieber "Mars Miner" also den 1. Teil ### 2/5 — Greedy punks *2020-12-17, version 1.5.8* I wouldn’t pay a single dime for something do bare bones with an idea that’s been done countless times and far better than it was here. ### 2/5 — Where is my stuff? *2019-07-26, version 1.5.6* So I just bought the pack of 6 large boxes, 3 dollars I have basically thrown in the trash, because I have not recieved the boxes. But the game is overall okay. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy 10th anniversary *2026-02-14, version 1.5.8* I can’t believe this game is already 10 years old, this game is very special to me, I started playing it in 2019 at a very young age and i still play it to this day, I hate that this game is so underrated because this game really means alot to me and I wish more people knew about it. Thank you for making my childhood better, tuna bowl software. ### 5/5 — It’s amazing *2023-09-23, version 1.5.8* This is a very addictive game worth playing ### 5/5 — Horas tontas *2023-03-14, version 1.5.8* Para matar horas tontas perfecto. ### 5/5 — Yes *2022-10-30, version 1.5.8* It’s the best app of its kind in the AppStore, period. It befuddles my brain that no one has tried to one up it in all these years. It’s a classic. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2021-04-03, version 1.5.8* Great game if you love mazes with a challenge! Love the game! Just wish there were more gems to mine, some parts of the game are very barren. ### 5/5 — Still loving this game! *2020-12-07, version 1.5.8* I’m not sus that the coin doubler always works but I’ve played this game here and there for years. Very happy it’s still here!!! ### 5/5 — Great game *2020-08-09, version 1.5.8* Once I figured out how to save (you actually have to click the button, not just run by it), I really enjoyed this game. Simple, creative, and a nice upgrade to the last version, though I liked how the guy moved/ran better in the first one. It’s kinda weird how this guy interacts with ladders. ### 5/5 — Awesome Game *2019-08-27* I love this game! Even when I finish it, I end up playing it again a few months down the road. I hope there will be a Mars Miner 3! ### 5/5 — Worth My Time *2019-07-12, version 1.5.6* I very much enjoy playing this game before and during my breaks at work, sure gets any stress off my shoulders. But what I really wouldn’t mind there being in this game is when u mine a deep tunnel down there should be a way to place multiple ladders at the same time from the top or bottom of a mine like almost a roped ladder, instead of only having the option to place a single ladder. There should be another button option saying ‘select all’ using most to all of your ladders...idk thinking of the ladder physics im sure theres a way to implement that in there without much issue. Another thing maybe add aliens to encounter and fight against and have a small chance to get their mining equipment like a alien pick or something. Either of those would be nice to be added in the future. Thanks for reading and keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Mars Miner *2019-02-07, version 1.5.6* When Mars miner 3 when i like that games.
