### 3/5 — Annoying Bug

*2026-07-23*

Overall have loved this game forever. But in the last few weeks, I’ve run into a weird bug where the level will scroll up when I try to break a block on either side of the map. I’ve lost quite a few levels because of this, and it’s at a point that I’m frustrated enough to about give up on it after 10+ years.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2026-03-04, version 5.10.0*

Game constantly crashes and brakes the phone unfortunate grew up loving this game and decided to take a nostalgic trip

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-01-25, version 5.10.0*

So fun good time pass

### 5/5 — Yippee

*2025-12-12*

Good game but I feel like it needs more in game ways to get cards and gems aside from chests events or with real money

### 3/5 — not enough gems

*2025-07-11*

could be more gems easier to get without paying real money

### 5/5 — 5/5 Dedication from Roofdog

*2025-05-23*

I am not sure how many people still play PM1, but the other day there were some issues with in game timers and factory timers, and they already fixed the issue. Very dedicated and responsive developers.

### 5/5 — Pocket Mine Review

*2025-03-11*

This is the only game I have on my phone. I love it, and it’s addicting. I haven’t even tried the other games hahah, there’s just something about this particular art style.

### 5/5 — A classic

*2025-02-08*

I’ve been playing this game off and on for about 10 years, it’s a lot of fun!

### 1/5 — Clunky and unrewarding

*2024-12-10*

The mechanics of this game are very clunky like not having a proper pause button, for some reason needing to wait 3 seconds to craft “magic cube”s and being really hard to speed up, and the progression is terrible i mean you have to spend upwards of 20 minutes to get 1 more pick swing meaning if you have 100 pick swings in order to get only 10% more you would need to spend 200 minutes, and the issue with that is the gameplay is repetitive and gets stale quick mixed in with the fact that the game is pay to win requiring you to watch ads in order to get gems and the fact that even after all that nothing changes! You got to change up the gameplay loop or add challenges here and there in order to keep a grindy game like this enjoyable, nobody is going to want to spend over 3 hours in order to get 10% further in the mine…

### 5/5 — Nostalgia

*2024-11-07*

Played it as a kid. Love it still, but the second one is my favorite!
