I suspect they want you to purchase the materials. Was enjoying it until then. Controls need work. Could use y axis coordinates or a map. ### 4/5 — Update *2025-08-17, version 4.02* Need to update ### 4/5 — Dig Dug? Never heard of her. *2024-11-19* Mars needs women. Where’s Edgar Rice Burroughs when you need him? I love the game, I wish there was more to see. Maybe zones to mine for other items… ### 5/5 — OG *2024-02-12, version 4.02* I play this game on my Kindle when I was a kid and it was just super fun to run around and mine stuff this game brought me a lot of joy. I’m glad to see it on Apple. ### 3/5 — Saving progress is so old school. Otherwise great *2024-02-09, version 4.02* I quite enjoy this game, but it has an insane flaw: you save games manually. I have lost so much progress on so many occasions by failing to save, getting distracted by something else, and coming back later only to find the program has exited and left me to re-do the progress I’d made. ### 3/5 — Fun *2024-01-02, version 4.02* Fun gam kinda slow ### 5/5 — Easy going *2023-12-01, version 4.02* It’s a very relaxed paced game and it makes it more enjoyable without the feeling of stress to meet milestones or objectives by set deadlines. ### 5/5 — Updates please *2023-09-17, version 4.02* This game is basic but very enjoyable, quite the opposite of a lot of new games I’m seeing recently. Please make more games like this or give us some updates. Cronos out. ### 5/5 — Heat *2023-07-11, version 4.02* This game is fire ### 4/5 — Good game *2023-05-09, version 4.02* The concept is relaxing and the music are beautiful ambient tracks suited for exploring alone on the red planet. ### 4/5 — Was gonna leave 5 stars but… *2023-04-14, version 4.02* When it asked me to leave a review I went to do so and came back to find out I hadn’t been saving the game at all like I was supposed to and lost my 30 mins of gameplay lol. This is the first mobile game that feels fulfilling though in a long time ### 4/5 — beautiful soundtrack, crashes *2023-04-09, version 4.02* I'd give this game five stars - it's got one of the best indie game soundtracks I've heard, and the gameplay is relaxing. After hours of play it crashed and completely hung any time I tried to access the savegame, so there's that. ### 5/5 — Relaxing and fun *2023-03-07, version 4.02* Really great game to pass the time! Worth the pay to get rid of adds. Gret background music too. ### 4/5 — Great Mining Game *2023-01-26, version 4.02* Really enjoy this game. Occasionally a little stingy on available items to mine. Would love additional levels. Completely upgraded and bought all the guns and it was over. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t open *2024-05-28, version 4.02* Played this awhile ago, won’t open, guess the servers are down ### 1/5 — I can’t play it *2024-05-11, version 4.02* My game kept crashing so I couldn’t play it ### 1/5 — It wont even start *2024-05-02, version 4.02* It crashes the second i open the app ### 1/5 — Fun *2023-04-23, version 4.02* It is a fun game to kill time. Removed adds for only 3.99 which is not bad! gotta support the game if we like it. (I don’t work for free too 😁) Would have been better I think had there been missions though and at least a map of where I had dig! I’m still at 3% progress, we will see what lays ahead. So far fun! ### 1/5 — Ads? *2021-07-27, version 4.02* Unstoppable ads plays when crafting after moving. Every run ### 1/5 — Controls didn’t work *2021-02-06, version 4.02* Game seemed interesting but the app didn’t have constant game controls. ### 1/5 — Crashes at around 30% completion *2020-02-22, version 4.02* Enjoying the game, 33% complete- crash, contact for help, they say can't help try again, did that and it happened again at 30%, dont waste your time. ### 1/5 — Meh *2017-12-06, version 1.1* Tried it, went to the mine, couldn’t find the way out, ran out of fuel and got ported to surface, lost everything I mined...aaaand deleted. Poor view in mine that only extends a tiny bit, just not enjoyable in the first 10 minutes, so not worth pursuing further. ### 1/5 — Uuuuuuhhhhhh *2016-08-21* I will Admit that this is a fun game but the main problems with it are that you have to watch an ad every time you go into the crafting menu unless you pay for ads to go away and when you run out of fuel in the mines you can kiss your love for this game good bye because you lose everything. These problems may not seem like much but they get very annoying and irritating when you play. So if you don't mind getting mad all the time go ahead and get this game. Ps don't get this game👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 it's not worth your sanity. ### 1/5 — Over the top ad intrusion. *2016-01-31, version 1.1* Full length adverts when you access the craft building. Removing ads cost almost as much as the full version, so you would be better getting that I would think. There doesn't seem to be a way to port your account though... ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-29, version 4.02* I am on a 4hr road trip and entertained me the hole way it is like mobile terraria would give it 6 stars if I could ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-21, version 4.02* Best mobile game I’ve ever played ### 5/5 — Great game play and very interesting and good for the adventurers who love adventure and action. *2026-03-03, version 4.02* I love this game it is so much fun and recommended it to people who love adventure and action games and are interested in someday mining the red plant/ mars in the near future. ### 5/5 — My 2nd time playing through *2026-01-02, version 4.02* It’s fun game and a time consumer when you have a lot of time to spend like on a long plane ride it makes time go by so fast. Good graphics and good game play for a game that’s over 10yrs old. ### 5/5 — Digging *2025-09-29, version 4.02* If you love digging and finding minerals, this is the game for you and it’s surprising, relaxing ### 5/5 — This game has that same feel as the day I bought it *2025-05-16, version 4.02* This game has been on my mind for weeks, trying to find it all over the internet and App Store, finally it and it’s just like how it was when I was a child, thank you for bringing back fond memories. ### 5/5 — GOATED *2025-04-02, version 4.02* Aside from the very existence of micro transactions; this game is awesome. This games is a classic and simple experience. If you’re on the fence, get it. ### 5/5 — Great game *2025-02-22, version 4.02* Definitely one of my faves ### 5/5 — Great time strategic *2024-11-17, version 4.02* Excellent play great format deeper than expected for a simple appearance. Wish there was more you can do with the robots. ### 5/5 — Yes *2024-09-03, version 4.02* Real good --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
