Overall sentiment: negative **Pros** - 🤩 Relaxing and fun experience - 👍 Enjoyable gameplay **Cons** - 🐛 Freezing issue with final chest - 🛑 Ads not working properly - ⏱️ Slow progression through early levels - 🚫 Unable to progress past level 70 **Commonly reported bugs** - Shovel upgrade not working as expected - Game progression stuck at level 70 **Most requested features** - Option to watch ads to earn more keys - Ability to upgrade beyond level 70 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎🏻👎🏿👎🏾👎🏽👎🏼 It’s terrible after the update *2023-12-27, version 2.4.0* The ads don’t work, so you can’t collect extra money, or watch an ad to get a free upgrade. The math is WAY off for evolving, it takes too long to get through the first round of blocks. Also if you miss the prize in the treasure chest, you have to collect more keys which can take a while I think an option to watch an ad to earn more keys would be a good idea. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2023-09-12, version 1.3.1* You cant get past level 70, you can’t complete anything or get to what’s touted as a grand prize, you can still throw money at leveling up but it doesn’t ever go beyond 70 so there’s no point to doing any of it ### 1/5 — Cool game but *2023-09-09, version 1.3.1* Once you get to level 70 you can’t get any higher which is stupid in my opinion ### 1/5 — Poor *2023-09-03, version 1.3.1* Just like all of the other reviewers. I can’t get past level 70. ### 1/5 — Can’t win *2023-09-03, version 1.3.1* You can’t upgrade after level 70 making it impossible to beat the game. ### 1/5 — The game is bugged! *2023-09-03, version 1.3.1* Fantastic game super fun but shovel level get stuck on 70 you cannot upgrade it any further which makes this game impossible to beat. Also the shovel upgrade is bugged I spent $50,000 in game currency to upgrade the shovel and it stayed on level 70 would actually like to beat the game UPDATE 09/02 finally saw they updated there game and was super stoked maybe I can upgrade mr shovel past level 70 anddddd nope. They claim they fix bugs but all they added was ads. I’m taking back my compliment, crap game and even lazier developer 👎🏻 ### 1/5 — Can’t win *2023-08-13, version 1.2* I like this game but once you hit level 70 you can’t upgrade anymore. So you can’t actually win ### 1/5 — Level 70 *2023-08-02, version 1.2* Legit I liked the game til I realized they f you over and won’t let you upgrade your shovel above level 70. ### 1/5 — cant go past level 70 *2023-07-31, version 1.2* the game is good bc no adds, but i cannot get past level 70. even when i go through +1 etc. it wont go past 70. fix this. ### 1/5 — it stops at level 70 *2023-07-30, version 1.2* it was fun not a lot of ads but stopped at level 70. i tried to upgrade the stupid shovel thing and level it up but it won’t go past 70 sooooooo not cool imo ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — THIS IS WHY I LOVE THIS APP *2024-02-20, version 2.7.0* .1.it’s soo relaxing .2.it’s fun .3.it gives me a vibe ### 5/5 — Needs a bug check *2024-01-15, version 2.5.0* Every time I try to win the game with the final chest, when I get there it just freezes on the spot and nothing happens. I can't get to the next level anymore. I just want something done about it. It's driving me crazy! Just take care of it please. ### 5/5 — i love this game but *2023-07-29, version 1.2* it won’t let me go past the 70 level like i can go to 71 72 etc.. pls fix this ### 4/5 — I like it but it’s to hard *2023-12-23, version 2.3.0* It takes like 100 power to get through the first round of blocks --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
