### 5/5 — Crashes to the point where I can’t even open the app.

*2021-08-20, version 4.1.0*

🧟‍♂️🏋️‍♀️🧞‍♂️🤼‍♀️🩰♨️

### 5/5 — I love Oil hunt

*2021-04-03, version 4.1.0*

What happens if you eat Oil I don’t know I love this game so much

### 1/5 — Just terrible read this before playing

*2021-02-02, version 4.1.0*

If you want to play garbage this is the game this game is just so bad I almost feel bad for it!

### 5/5 — Oil Hunt is Truly Astonishing.

*2020-12-12, version 4.1.0*

Absolutely breathtaking game. When I found this, I thought it was too good to be true. I downloaded it a few days ago, and to say the least, I was blown away. Oil Hunt is an example of pure perfection. I’ve been playing for 13 hours straight. I think this game made me pregnant. I’m male. As I’m writing this, I’m getting the urge to play Oil Hunt right now. I’m thinking about what would’ve happened to me if I never found this game. If I could give this game any amount of stars above 5, I would. Oil Hunt deserves nearly infinite stars just to prove half of my love for this game. I will now continue playing. 

Thank you, Oil Hunt.

### 1/5 — Do you like Ad’s? A lot? Then you’ll love this!

*2020-11-28, version 4.1.0*

Gosh, I love Ad’s. They are the best part of this game. No serious hear me out. This game is so repetitive that the only reason you’ll be playing is because the Ad’s pop up so often that you’ll never have a chance to experience how repetitive it truly is. The best part is right when you launch the game, you get to watch an Ad before you ever start playing. I know what you’re thinking, “I’ll just turn off the WiFi so it can’t give me Ad’s” well you’d be right, you won’t be able to play the game either. It won’t launch. But you’re right, no Ads! (If you read this whole review then you’ve picked up that I’m being very sarcastic. Don’t waste your data downloading this.)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2020-11-07, version 4.1.0*

I can finally achieve my dream of drinking oil

### 5/5 — It’s ok passes time

But if you prefer a warmer climate, you can hunt oil in desert oil fields under the hot sun and it’s FREE too.
