Intrusive ad ruined it

I was tapping and an ad popped up right in the middle so I deleted the app immediately. Iโ€™m fine with watching ads for rewards but not when they forcibly interrupt my gameplay in a manner that could trick me into clicking them

Good game

Itโ€™s really fun to play and itโ€™s a great game, but every time I leave the game it resets my progress. That gets annoying because I got to 124 power, but then I had to close the app because it froze and I had to start over. Ads can also be annoying because I accidentally clicked an ad while rapidly clicking the screen and I had to start over. If yo could not reset the game each time I leave. I would give it five stars.

Fantastic Clicker Game

This game really helps get my slippery fingers ready for action. I love the way my hand goes up and down as the brick crumbles apart.. slowly.. as I stroke the pick axe until the pressure builds up and I finally make the diamond come.

Ads galore

Fun game, but the ads are so horribly intrusive and they don't have any limit. I sometimes get an ad, and after a few taps another one pops up. Remove pop up ads please! Make a reward system like if you watch an ad you get a free diamond or something and put banner ads in the shop menus. It's almost unplayable at this stage. I think i have more time watching and waiting for ads to load than I do actually playing the game.

Thank you

Needs Work

Conceptually unoriginal
Painfully annoying banner ads (which, even if you attempt to pay to remove, you get stuck in a never-ending loading screen)
Completely pointless auto click upgrade system.

Could be worse, could be better. If you're trying to kill time, you'll be spending equal parts in game and equal parts watching ads.

Not Bad, Spams Ads

The gameplay is fairly simple, and very similar to other idle/clicker mining games.

Full-screen ads are shown every couple of minutes, which gets annoying. Further, the ads show while you're constantly tapping the screen, which leads to inadvertent ad clicks. I'm sure this is great for the developer.

I even tried purchasing the ad remover in app, but it just loads forever and he purchase never goes through.

Overall, decent gameplay, but the ads make it more annoying than it's worth to play.

Nice!

Good game! I love it. Though, I know eventually it will become one of those games I don't play anymore, I still love it.

P.S. My nickname is the result of no other nickname being available.

Adds

It's a fun game and I LOVE IT!! But with every good game there's adds and these adds are not like others? When I try to push the "x" it doesn't close, so I have to manually close the app and get back on? Can you please fix this? And to be honest I can't tell if it's my phone of the app.

New ideas

Love the game I hope you update soon I've got ideas for future updates like 5 diamonds for auto tapping like you just hold your finger onto the screen for a certain amount of time or you can convert a certain amount of diamonds to get awesome Pickaxes.

Can't progress within 5 minutes of playing

I was able to upgrade my pickax twice with great success. I bought a few upgrades and tried to craft a new pickax to break the latest rock. It failed 13 times in a row and I ran out of diamonds, prompting a screen for me to purchase more with real money.

Lessons in futility and money grabbing.

First off, the game was fun for all of a hour. After that, the game is a pure lesson in futility. You need cash to level things, diamonds to level things and tons of clicking to level things. There is a 'auto click' of such a minor amount that there might as well NOT be one.

But i digress, the lesson in futility is this. You need money to make money, money to upgrade your Pickaxe, and then diamonds to level your Pickaxe so you can make more money,... so you can constantly repeat this cycle.

THEN, there's the issue of every three or less minutes, you have an add pop up while you're clicking. Which opens the App Store, which sometimes turns off the game.

If the developer of the game put as much thought into their game as they did their ad spamming, it might be good.

But as it is, it's a waste of time as there is no true progression.

The good kind of grind

Some games abuse you with repetitive tasks but this one has the right balance of repetition and reward.

Great game, but huge bug

I'm loving this game, but I can't seem to make in-app purchases. No matter what I try to buy, the app just times out. I can buy IAPs on all my other games, so I know it isn't me. Please fix and I'll give this 5 stars. Right now, I'm frustrated because I can't get rid of adds or buy boosts, even if I want to.

It's a good time waster

You could do other things but you will do this. Advice: save your diamonds for upgrades.

Fun, but glitchy

I really liked this game, but one day, it deleted all of my diamonds and upgrades. I still had my really good pick axe (something around 11k power) so I kept playing. Since I had some money, and I couldn't figure out what to spend it on, I bought $2 worth of diamonds. But about a week later, when I tried to play, it deleted ALL of my progress.
A waste of $2 and a waste of time for me.

Repetitive

After upgrading to get diamonds (which you rarely do) you'll need to upgrade more and more simply to stay effective, when the ads spam pop and make you click them right when you get bored enough to try the game

Great game

I totally agree with the user who says this is a great app if you have some downtime and don't know what to do. Five stars.

Addicting

Can't put it down!! Fun game that keeps you coming back for more

Makes me tap like a crazy person

Have been tapping the screen like a maniac for days now.. Super addictive trying to find the rare stuff, you ALMOST feel like you're accomplishing something.. ๐Ÿ˜‚
