### 2/5 — 4 level nothing to mine

*2026-08-07, version 1.4.4*

I’ve spent hours playing this game all good and fun amd I get to level 4 everything is the same but nothing to mine so nothing to do what a waste the mines are empty

### 5/5 — True, there are ads, but…

*2026-07-13, version 1.4.4*

The game is awesome, because it lets me test out many different production theories while learning how factories operate. It has a bit of a learning curve, which I enjoyed. And running an ad to upgrade a machine or increase a coin bonus is not a problem. I did run into an unexpected bug in World 4 - PC factory, where no mineable resource existed in the first 3 mine pits - the last 3 were mineable but how to get to them? Possessing infinite patience, I figured out a solution, and I’m now well on the way to finish World 4. The question is - is there anything beyond World 5? Inquiring minds want to know…

### 1/5 — Excessive ads

*2026-05-31, version 1.4.4*

It’s just a money grab of an app which is a shame because it’s kind of fun, within 30 to 45 seconds no matter what you’re watching an ad

### 5/5 — Miene

*2026-05-05*

Macht Spaß

### 1/5 — Not working

*2026-04-15, version 1.4.4*

I play this game and go up levels and then poof it’s now not working…nothing in the mines. World 4 nothing to do. How do you make money to keep upgrading?

### 1/5 — Schade

*2026-04-09*

Es wird von Ebene zu Ebene schlechter.

### 1/5 — TMA

*2026-03-29, version 1.4.4*

Too many adverts

### 1/5 — i paid

*2026-02-01, version 1.4.3*

there were so many ads I ended up paying for no ads. Only to find out that this game only has five main levels. With the latest holiday update it really screwed up the game you can't see any of the machine machines and everything stopped manufacturing. It's a time waster but now I think it's a money waster! update 2026: there was a "winter" look update and now the game doesn't play at all! AVOID!

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2026-01-28, version 1.4.3*

On world #4 the mineral did not spawn so the game is completely unplayable.  

Also an excessive amount of ads.

### 1/5 — Stupid ADs

*2026-01-10, version 1.4.3*

Really pointless ads that dont skip or play so frustrating
