### 1/5 — Very upset

*2025-04-28, version 3.3.8*

I played the game got to a certain point it said I had to buy full version I click purchase and it didn’t give me full game just some in game credit

### 1/5 — Doesn’t save properly

*2020-08-04, version 3.3.8*

Fun game BUT it doesn’t save when it says it does.  I played for a while, got really far, but when I logged back in, everything is gone.  What am I missing.

### 1/5 — Dont download

*2020-07-15, version 3.3.8*

I hate it you have to pay to go beyond a certain point UNINSTALLED

### 1/5 — Sucks like heck

*2019-10-02, version 3.3.8*

You can only play for a day and then you have to pay to play

### 1/5 — Demo!!!

*2017-07-14, version 3.3.8*

There nothing to suggest it's a demo until they start asking you for money!!!

### 1/5 — Ripped off

*2016-03-30, version 3.3.8*

I had given a 5* review previously. Not played for a while and suddenly my previous purchases have evaporated! No way will I pay for something twice. Not happy at being ripped off!

### 1/5 — Pick upgrade dose nothing

*2015-09-16, version 3.3.5*

Y is my pick upgrade doing nothing . Upgraded 2 times and it still only said +1 when I mine Orr. Help will get it 5 stars.

### 1/5 — Dont get me wrong

*2014-03-15, version 3.3.3*

Its a good game, however its actually a trial which they want you to pay for later in the game

### 2/5 — Game breaking glitches

*2020-04-28, version 3.3.8*

I was able to max myself out in minutes do to some glitches that give you 1000000$ worth of gems NOT JOKING for free. Finished the game in 20min(the glitch is where you can go to shop watch a add to get coins however the same multiplyer applies to gems making me 500 million GEMS in a 30 second add making me be able to buy the whole shop after clicking the buy coins with gems button a bunch of times.

### 2/5 — Just pass

*2017-06-17, version 3.3.8*

Game play is decent but you are locked out of completing the game unless you buy the full version, even with ad support.  Skip this one.

### 5/5 — Beautiful craftsmanship of 2010 nostalgia

*2023-05-26, version 3.3.8*

Absolutely a childhood favorite for my 2005 self. I hold it on an internalized affection level of that of Minecraft. From the mining sounds to the dripping in the background, this game hasn’t changed and hasn’t degraded over time.

Doing research online, it seems Tuna bowl made it biggest with this 2 part series of a game. I hope the developers are doing amazingly.

Anyway, it’s free of ads, but does require you to pay for a bigger experience. But honestly, it’s worth it. It is barebones and fundamentally structured, with many options to progress.

This is the epitome of AppStore golden age. If I could, I’d help them program game 3.
