### 2/5 — This game needs help too many bugs

*2023-09-24, version 1.3*

This games needs help too many bugs

### 2/5 — No oil

*2023-04-11, version 1.2.3*

The building that is used to spawn in to search for oil when you run out of drilling spots doesn’t spawn anymore but other than that and the ads every minute it’s Ight I gotta play it without my service on in order to do anything also you make 0 progress when off the game

### 2/5 — Need an easy way to contact support.

*2022-09-30, version 1.2.3*

I can figure out why the oil research building won’t reappear. I’ve been drilling in random spots only getting 100 oil because the building won’t spawn and I’ve drilled all of the marked spots. Also too many ads.

### 3/5 — No oil

*2022-09-02, version 1.2.3*

Point of the game it to drill oil but I drilled then used money earned to find new drilling points now I drilled all those spots and now I got no oil and drill random empty spots and only get a little bit of oil. Games frustrating

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2022-08-30, version 1.2.3*

Would give 0 stars if I could game has no way to advance after oil field is don’t there was a research but seems to have disappeared

### 2/5 — Problem

*2022-08-29, version 1.2.3*

Can’t trigger new oil search

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2022-08-24, version 1.2.2*

The amount of ads this game has makes it literally unplayable. You can’t even accomplish a task before one pops up to interrupt you.

### 3/5 — games feels like it was made one friday afternoon

*2022-08-23, version 1.2.2*

with the sole purpose of making money - there are adds every 10 seconds and on top of that to unlock crucial aspects of the game you have to watch a minute long add which most of the time doesn’t work meaning i can’t unlock that feature. please fix !!!

### 1/5 — Decent game, lot of ads, high cpu usage

*2022-08-20, version 1.2.2*

Even the game was decent and liked it , lot of ads as every single game nowadays, but the cherry on the top was that crazy drop of my battery from little time playing the game. I’m talking about 25min screen time and dropped 20% of iPhone pro max which has really good battery life. Furthermore the phone was getting really hot and holding it was getting non comfortable 

If I continued playing the game will destroy my phone battery in a month , make that stupid game less resource hungry , doesn’t has that graphics which can excuse this. We talking a COD level of battery drop when I’m playing offline and single player with kids graphics, some development is needed here

### 1/5 — Way too many ads

*2022-08-11, version 1.2.2*

If you love the watch ads this is the game for you! I understand they have to pay their bills but it seems like every 30 seconds you have an ad.

### 1/5 — Too many ads!!!!

*2022-08-09, version 1.2.2*

I’d gladly purchase a No Ads for this game if it were available.  Just playing, not trying to get the upgrades from ads and you still have them pop up.

### 1/5 — Too many ads

*2022-08-09, version 1.2.2*

The game itself is good. But there’s too many ads… I’m talking 10 seconds of gameplay and then 30 seconds of ads, uninstalled.

### 3/5 — Could be better

*2022-08-09, version 1.2.2*

Games perfect just shame they is an add every 20 seconds

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-03-05, version 1.6*

Game could be good developer doesn’t care about the game and hasn’t updated in months. A million and one ads also ruin the gameplay

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2025-02-08*

Doesn’t work, never gives me my money, always bugs, boring, to many ads

### 1/5 — Just constant ads

*2024-08-13, version 1.5*

What happen to games without ads appearing every 15 seconds, don’t buy unleee you like watching ads

### 1/5 — Could be great

*2024-07-17, version 1.5*

The developer stoped caring. You can’t spawn anymore large amounts of oil once it’s gone you’re reduced to nonsense.

### 1/5 — Making of a great game.

*2022-09-19, version 1.2.3*

Started off great. Then ads ads ads. 
Game is buggy. Oil research disappeared. 
Shame really. Was enjoying it.

### 1/5 — Game doesn't work properly

*2022-09-04, version 1.2.3*

You get to a point in the game where you need the map to come up and show you where the oil is . Wont come up

### 1/5 — Was good but now a bug makes it bad

*2022-09-02, version 1.2.3*

It was a really good app. Even though kinda doing the same thing, I worked really well to pass the time. However now the oil scanner doesn’t appear, it is impossible to make the app work with only 100 oil every 2 minutes. If this is fixed then I would re download it, but if not then not getting it again

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time

*2022-09-01, version 1.2.3*

Was at airport app crashed and freezes then started me all over at the beginning. Did it again got to airport part unlocked airport started me over again

### 1/5 — Bugs bugs and more ads

*2022-08-30, version 1.2.3*

I can’t drill new oil spots for whatever reason, the oil research shelter literally disappeared

### 1/5 — The amount of advertisements is a bit much

*2022-08-30, version 1.2.3*

Fun game, but every minute or two you’re stuck watching a 30 second ad. To top it off the game cycles through like 4 different ads so you’re watching the same things over and over

### 5/5 — Where the spawn oil building

*2024-06-06, version 1.3*

Don’t get me wrong I love playing this game but the building thdt you go to to spawn more oil in oil fields isn’t there !! This is the only thing I have a complaint about. If that building comes back I’m happy go lucky oil tycoon

### 5/5 — Doesn’t work

*2022-11-07, version 1.2.3*

To this person who did this app it does not work at warm wrong. There’s no oil how can I play as a stupid fix it

### 5/5 — Remove ads

*2022-09-30, version 1.2.3*

Please add an option to remove ads. (Pun intended)

### 5/5 — Fun

*2022-08-23, version 1.2.2*

This is a fun game.

### 5/5 — Mr

*2022-08-08, version 1.2.2*

.Rino

### 5/5 — So much fun!

*2022-06-19, version 1.2*

Don’t hesitate to download. It’s a lot of fun!

### 4/5 — Glitchy but fun

*2026-06-12, version 1.6*

I did get my green barrels turned to red barrels but to avoid ads just turn airplane mode on before opening the app but I can’t really say anything else besides it’s annoying but fun

### 4/5 — No oil

*2022-09-04, version 1.2.3*

The building that used to spawn in to search for oil  when you run out or drilling spots doesn’t spawn anymore but other than that and the ads every minute good game overall

### 4/5 — Good game, but…

*2022-06-29, version 1.2.1*

Too many ads.  About every minute or so, I get hit with an ad.  I can deal with the ads to upgrade items in the game but I hate the ads that just come up on their own

### 3/5 — Alright game

*2023-04-07, version 1.2.3*

Wish we could pay for removal of ads and the oil spots to drop just disappear. Please fix, will redownload if fixed.
