It's one that doesn't take a lot of time to enjoy either. Very fun! ### 5/5 — Mining! *2016-07-31, version 3.3.8* It's good ### 4/5 — Fun game *2016-07-30, version 3.3.8* Just got the game. So far so good. Very fun to play. Also may get a bit challenging. Still a great game ### 5/5 — Hi *2016-07-30, version 3.3.8* i hate free stuff ### 5/5 — AWSOME *2016-05-29, version 3.3.8* Love the game it's fun to play ### 4/5 — Mars miner *2016-05-25, version 3.3.8* I love it it's so fun and exciting ### 4/5 — I only wrote this title because I have to *2016-04-26, version 3.3.8* Mars Miner is truly a fun game to play if you are stuck in long car rides or are waiting for long periods of time. Even though the gameplay is a little repetitive, I really like it overall. ### 5/5 — Love this game *2016-02-29, version 3.3.8* This game is so fun ### 4/5 — My experience. *2016-02-16, version 3.3.8* So there was this guy. Who was addicted to the game and he went on to dig every single thing on the map. Playing night and day. Then when he found the last artifact right before he was going to clear the entire map he has to start over ### 5/5 — Best game on iOS *2015-12-18, version 3.3.6* As a life-long gamer, from Atari to the modern 4k PC gamer, I can say that this is a top-notch game. I highly recommend this game to anyone who likes a casual style game that gradually progresses, as upgrade your pick, oxygen tank, and carefully plan your decent into the depths of the mine you will become hooked! Get it now. ### 5/5 — Long time favorite. *2015-10-09, version 3.3.5* I got this several years ago, and have replayed it a number of times. My ten-year-old likes it too; he has replayed it several times as well. ### 5/5 — Fun so far *2014-03-13, version 3.3.3* I've been looking for a game like this to play on my iPhone and so far I'm impressed. It's nothing fancy but its certainly a good way to kill time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2017-01-05, version 3.3.8* If I could give it no stars I would! No instructions, faulty controls - complete waste of time. ### 3/5 — Good little game *2016-08-03, version 3.3.8* A good, 10 minutes to kill do the same thing over and over and over game, but fun nonetheless easy to play. ### 3/5 — A little slow *2014-09-03, version 3.3.3* This is an exploration/time management game. It takes time to move your way through the map, which costs air. Run out of air and you die. And it is very slow paced, which I believe is on purpose due to in game purchases. It seems a little simple as there isn't too much to discover in the first couple of hours and if you spend the money you get from what you found improperly, you will not get far. It's a fair time waster. It is only similar to Minecraft in that you mine for minerals, otherwise it is a dig-till-you-need-air game. That's about it. ### 3/5 — So far so good *2014-02-27, version 3.3.3* I am giving this a three because I am relatively new to playing this. I will say it has my attention, and I am getting used to the strategy behind it....I am just wondering if the redundancy will kick in and I'll become bored. ### 3/5 — Fun game, but doesn't save? *2014-01-28, version 3.3.2* I've started up and played this a few times now and every time I have to start a new game. It's kind of annoying because I won't ever be able to progress very far without being able to save, but I still enjoy the game play. Yes, I do go back to the surface and get it to save, but when I go to load a save the list is all empty. ### 3/5 — Needs more variety *2013-02-11, version 3.2.0* Decent mining game very similar to the "I Dig It" games. Definitely needs more variety though. There should be more types of treasure to find, more rewards for exploring (there should be a cave at the bottom of the world! There should be a reward for reaching the far wall, for clearing out a section of map, for retrieving all your ladders, etc). There should be achievements to earn. More stuff to buy. And easter eggs that are not so lame and dull (the alien should do something. So should the red face! At least give some points for finding them.) Also the ending is horrible - once you find the 4th artifact you suddenly get ripped away from the map you've been working on, with no reward at all, and dumped into a new map that you have to start from scratch. This game has a lot of potential but right now it does not feel rewarding enough. It constantly feels anticlimactic. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2016-09-04, version 3.3.8* Just like the title. So far so good. Easy to play and enjoyable ### 4/5 — Fun but it's gonna be hard to win without spending. *2016-08-05, version 3.3.8* I have become addicted but it's getting frustrating. ### 4/5 — Addictive time waster :) *2016-08-03, version 3.3.8* Fun ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2016-07-31, version 3.3.8* doog ytterp ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2021-11-10, version 3.3.8* Love the game played this game a long time ago ### 5/5 — This game is the best! *2018-03-08, version 3.3.8* This game is truly a neat game, but one thing. The age rating is 4+ even though there are some forms of blood which might give a kid nightmare! Meh, but to make it more 'Kid Friendly' you should switch it to 'Ez pie (No Rocks' it should eliminate some form of blood and what not. But again, this is the best game ever! 5 stars deserved! ### 5/5 — Mars Miner *2017-07-17, version 3.3.8* Good stuff. ### 5/5 — Love it great game *2017-02-28, version 3.3.8* Great game ! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-02-25, version 3.3.8* Love it! ### 5/5 — Great game! *2017-02-07, version 3.3.8* I love this game!
