Happy gaming! ### 5/5 — Love *2022-06-11* I love this game **Developer response:** Thank you for the review.

Enjoy the game! ### 5/5 — So far so good *2022-01-22, version 1.0.0* This type of game is best downloaded on release. For this type of game, it’s fun so far. Good time waster, but I’m guessing development on the mine slows down as you progress. Graphics ok. Simple instructions on tutorial help. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DONT DOWNLOAD!! *2025-05-09* Got the game thinking it’d be a fun new idle game to play. Bought the no ads and now the game has stopped letting me complete the challenges. It just keeps resetting them over and over again every time I complete them. No customer support to fix the problem either. ### 1/5 — Lost $10 because there’s no ‘restore purchases’ option. *2022-12-07* Don’t spend a dime on this game. **Developer response:** Hi! Please contact us at https://gameveterans.com/support.html thus we can gather more details to investigate, check and fix everything! ### 1/5 — No restore purchase feature, don’t purchase ad free version *2022-06-10* I purchased the ad free version for $9 and was working great for a couple days. Then the app crashed and when it came back, the ads were back. Most apps that have in-app purchase have a “restore purchase” feature. Not this one. Trying to figure out how to get my money back haven’t heard back yet. Happy to change to 5 stars since I love the game. But if you pay for something and then take it back? Not cool. **Developer response:** We apologize for the inconvenience. We will improve it as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Buggy / not saving progress *2022-06-02, version 1.4.0* Most recent app update .. progress not being saved ..last 4 days every time I close all my progress is lost. ### 2/5 — Fun for a while *2022-05-09* The game is fun until you realize that you're just going to do the same thing over and over until you're willing to pay real money for a CEO, and keep paying to level him up. You can't move on to other areas of the map until you do this, and grinding pointlessly in the first area of the map ad infinitum is not rewarding or fun for long. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! ### 3/5 — Game isn’t allowing me to sign in to save progress *2026-04-20* I was playing perfectly fine for a couple minutes then after buying packs and stuff the game has frozen can’t even close the game and go back in without it freezing up on the home page I tried to save my progress and it just wouldn’t let me log in to my Apple ID ### 4/5 — Good *2022-08-07* Good **Developer response:** Thank you for the review. Enjoy the game! ### 5/5 — My review *2024-08-19* I love the game so far really easy to learn and play ### 5/5 — This is a Wonderful Game! *2023-07-26* You seriously are a boss of smelting metals and you choose buyers to buy your merchandise, upgrade your factories and staff, and buy stock and get payed if you make a profit. It's amazing! ### 5/5 — Wow *2022-12-18* It’s a great game **Developer response:** ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good game *2022-11-29* Like it **Developer response:** 👍👍👍 ### 5/5 — Fun *2022-11-06, version 1.5.3* Fun ### 5/5 — Recommended *2022-09-29, version 1.5.1* These Devs make me best idle games. ### 5/5 — good *2022-09-27* good **Developer response:** Thank you for the review.
