### 5/5 — Fun game

*2020-08-27, version 2.3.0*

You guys well built this game i love it so much its simple no lag im just playing it for 10mins and loving it however i also play Brawl Stars Thats MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE GAME i have 16 k trophies whoever are reading this install brawl stars and join my club named Brawl Warriors its a nee club 20 to 25 members president is me lex youtube

### 1/5 — Crap

*2019-08-02*

It Never works

### 1/5 — Game has too many bugs

*2019-03-31, version 2.3.0*

Every time I open the app I don’t get anything from my auto miners even if I have WiFi. The game also crashes quite a lot and is very laggy.

### 1/5 — Laggey

*2018-12-25, version 2.3.0*

To laggy need to be fixed

### 5/5 — When will this game end???

*2018-01-27*

This game is just so amazing I can’t stop playing!!! I would rate 14 stars if I could. Addictively awsome, thus some planets you think exist but may not.

### 2/5 — Greedy

*2017-12-08*

The game is greedy for ads. Pop up ads every 2 minutes as well as banner ads. In these types of games the ads should be optional with a performance boost. I know pop ups pay more but if you value your user you wouldn’t use them. 

Other than the intense ad spree, it’s a decent game. Would have liked to play more but the greedy dwarves got to me.

### 2/5 — Really fun, but...

*2017-06-23*

The ads!!! There are ads every 100 seconds and even before the timer is done more ads pop up. Also, the mini games are almost impossible and every time you lose an ad pops up. It's incredibly frustrating and really ruins the game.

### 3/5 — Addictive - but slow and glitchy

*2017-06-06*

Curiously addictive, but as others have said it gets very slow as you progress. Can take many taps before one registers.  Now will not load at all - I'm very near the end. Frustrating.

### 3/5 — Slow...

*2017-05-01*

As I progress from planet to planet, the game gets slower and slower and currently i have to keep each button pressed down for 3 seconds for it to register anything. Otherwise fun game and addictive

### 1/5 — Lag, lag, lag, what achievements?

*2017-04-15, version 2.3.0*

Game runs so laggy. Some of the achievements you complete but cannot collect the rewards.
Ads are popping alot more then the normal 160second interval.
