I love that it uses real terms and follows a realistic procedural line of operation. I wish there was far more detail and it incorporated more aspects of underground mining. ### 5/5 — New miner *2025-09-01, version 2.2.14* I’m new to mining and I have found this game really useful to learn the process. It has the same equipment that we use and I love the graphics ### 5/5 — Active gamer *2025-09-01, version 2.2.14* Love this game, I played it 6 years ago and I love the update. It’s been worth the wait. As a miner I can now show my family what I do and they can relate. ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-11-16, version 2.0* little slow but having fun.... waiting for a update ### 1/5 — No updates for 3 years *2021-03-28, version 2.0* If this game had continued it would have been 5 stars. But due to no update for 3 years and still on a few levels. It’s a pointless download. ### 1/5 — Uh *2021-03-25, version 2.0* Idk about the game but it’s nothing you do in this... ### 1/5 — Had potential *2020-11-07, version 2.0* Obviously undeveloped app. Started underground mine - after buying all the the things it’s just stuck and nothing happens. No help file. Tutorial doesn’t teach game play. Disappointing ### 1/5 — Needs Update *2020-03-05, version 2.0* Haven’t and did t have any issues all trucks (x4) work. Done all levels but sad there was only 2 rounds in Level 4 and now have to wait for update. Need an update since last was a year ago Now 2years later and still no update. DELETE!! ### 1/5 — Overdue for upgrade *2019-10-10, version 2.0* Interesting game. Finished current version. When is an update due? ### 3/5 — Possible bug *2018-09-18, version 2.0* Worked my way through to level 2 when i received pop up message telling me i have completed all levels. There are 4 levels ... Can get a bit addictive, cant wait for the bug fix so i can get more than 1 truck working the pit. ## Frequently asked questions about Mining Sims ### What is Mining Sims?
