### 5/5 — ⛏️It’s working again. ⛏️

*2024-05-02*

Thanks for fixing it.

### 5/5 — I’m still mining

*2023-09-21*

Or trying to, it doesn’t seem to work anymore on iOS17. Wishing on a wishing well for an update!

### 2/5 — The reviews are obviously bought

*2021-11-29*

The game gets boring in less than 5 minutes. The miners look like what your teachers put on their slideshow- generic and ugly. 
There is no “wisdom” like the other reviewer said. It’s a bare bones game.

### 5/5 — FUN

*2018-02-04*

This game is fun... Yeah it doesn’t have the best graphics. But still, it’s super fun and I love it

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-12-01*

This game is really a gem! It's full of pieces of wisdom, has a good tutorial, and creates a sense of purpose. You can play it whenever for as long as you wish. It may not be a million dollar budget game, but it is still fantastic! I definitely recommend this game to any potential downloaders!

### 2/5 — Gotta spend to speed things up.

*2015-02-16*

Title

### 5/5 — Woohoo

*2014-10-20*

A fun waste of time

### 2/5 — Expensive game!

*2014-07-29, version 1.0.6*

Colourful and interesting concept.
I have no problem paying some money to software developers, they should get something for their time; however,
After paying $40, I still can't finish the game!  You're constantly losing (game) money and you have to spend a considerable amount of nuggets to speed-up the hoppers. 
The game has some great quotes that you read as you progress through the game, but I can get those from books.
It's painfully obvious that they want a lot of money for their efforts.

### 3/5 — Excruciatingly slow pace

*2014-05-13, version 1.0.6*

The concept seems fine, but game play is extremely slow paced, particularly when you have to do a collecting run. You can do anything else in the game while it's doing a collection, and it won't run while you're in a menu or outside the app, so you're stuck watch it trundle along slowly. My phone times out and goes to sleep. And unless the pace of this game improves on the second level, I'm going to be asleep too.

### 1/5 — Don't bother!

*2014-05-12*

Awful, truly a pointless waste of time. Dire -10.
