### 5/5 — Fun quick game

*2025-07-11, version 1.0*

Fun little game to waste 2-3 hours on. NO POP UP ADS!!  Only thing that’s a little frustrating is how easy it is to die with the chain systems

### 1/5 — Game ruining big

*2025-04-21, version 1.0*

Chain won’t fully reach bottom :/

### 1/5 — Can’t upgrade

*2025-04-15, version 1.0*

Nothing happens…you just dig and sell your 5 items….i have $400 and it won’t let me upgrade my cargo for $150

### 1/5 — Clunky AND lots of ads

*2025-02-27, version 1.0*

You know what’s worse than a really clunky game with unsatisfying controls and very unforgiving fall damage?

One that forces you to watch an ad every few minutes. Yeah- no thanks.

### 5/5 — Great game !!

*2024-03-01, version 1.0*

Super original and relaxing fun to play game. Recommend if you want to play when you have no wifi too !

### 1/5 — Endless loop

*2023-03-04, version 1.0*

Game explains nothing and is designed to keep you constantly failing and watching ads to revive or else you have to pay more money than you have. Or you could always completely restart the game. It’s a waste of time.

### 5/5 — Moon miner

*2022-09-02, version 1.0*

When is the moon miner coming out?

### 2/5 — Seems fun but ads are annoying

*2022-08-17, version 1.0*

The game was fun but as soon as I first died and had to watch ads or completely reset my game it was so annoying I also think you should change the chain system it was annoying to accidentally fall off the side one block too soon and die.

### 3/5 — Too many ads

*2022-07-16, version 1.0*

Uninstalled when I saw you had to watch two ads when you die if you don't want to lose your game and your cargo ... Usually you try to make the early parts of a game less grindy so that the player can actually get into it.

### 1/5 — >:(

*2022-07-06, version 1.0*

You can’t go up fix it
