### 4/5 — Good game but…

*2025-04-30, version 1.0.8*

It’s extremely short we want more updates!!!!

### 1/5 — Adds all the time and no option to remove adds

*2024-12-15, version 1.0.6*

Constant adds, with no option to remove them

### 1/5 — Forced ads with no one time IAP to avoid

*2024-09-24, version 1.0.6*

Any game in this day and age that does forced ads with no option to opt out with a IAP is a scam. Deleted after first ad. Shame.

### 4/5 — There needs to be more.

*2022-10-27, version 1.0.6*

The game is very fun and addictive but there isn’t enough items, as of now I have beaten the game in just Two Days, please add more items and depth, 4 Star.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2022-04-04, version 1.0.5*

Great but the industrial drill is invisible but that dose not affect the review

### 5/5 — I crave more!

*2021-03-28, version 1.0.5*

This game is amazing!

I just competed it, and I want to play it more, but there is nothing else to do except collect money.

I saw that Overkill Drill 2 was “Comming out in 2020”

Its 2021 now, is it still coming out? It looks even better then Overkill Drill 1

So, is it still coming out? Please let me know!

### 2/5 — Good game.....but

*2021-01-22*

There are times when you go to buy an upgrade, it takes your money away and your money is gone when you try to purchase.

### 5/5 — Overkill Drill 2

*2020-11-21, version 1.0.5*

When is Overkill Drill 2 coming out? I thought it was supposed to come out 2020 or is it delayed because of Covid?

### 3/5 — This is a copy of reach the core

*2020-11-20, version 1.0.5*

The graphics are the same, the interface is the same, even the story is the same.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2020-02-27, version 1.0.5*

Super good

!!Never add p2w or idle features

I love the games design and play style but my only request is that the game could get some updates to make it longer a/o more options
