### 5/5 — Spiral Excavator Empire

*2026-08-27*

Nice Game

### 5/5 — Для разработчика

*2026-08-12, version 0.2.1*

Задумка хорошая, игра интересная. Но. Слишком часто всплывают плашки с монеткой и временем, лучше уберите их чтобы они не летали по экрану, это сильно раздражает. И сделайте чувствительность больше, а то пол дня по экрану перемещается и зум увеличте.

### 4/5 — Good game

*2026-07-22*

I like the game but I already beat it need more to build

### 1/5 — Game breaking bug

*2026-07-12*

I put some decent time into this game. It was quite fun until the game broke and prevented me from getting back to the main area. I was in the expensive frozen area and the game bugged out and wouldn’t let me go back to the first area. Lost all of my progress, 1/10 don’t recommend this game.

### 1/5 — Контента ноль, рекламы море

*2026-05-23*

Игрой не назовешь, это игросодержащий продукт

### 1/5 — Holy moly

*2026-04-26, version 0.2.1*

It’s not bad.. it’s terrible? 

Borderline unplayable complete trash. I counted 18 ads before I could afford my first upgrade. Never normally leave reviews but this was something else.

### 5/5 — Me like like

*2026-03-26*

The best relaxing game

### 1/5 — Ужас

*2026-03-25*

День поиграл (про рекламу отдельный разговор). На следующий день вылезло - разрешить компании разработчику и её партнёрам (целых 311 половых партнёров разработчика) шариться по моему телефону и собирать всю инфу, а потом хранить её 5 лет. И вариантов отказать нет - как ты не пытайся двигать бегунками. По итогу сношу игру.

### 1/5 — Хочешь моргнуть? Посмотри рекламу

*2026-03-21*

Столько рекламы я давно не видел

### 5/5 — Nice game

*2026-02-18, version 0.2.1*

Game perfectly works
