### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2026-08-26, version 1.10.11*

I love the gameplay and slow build. But I wish there was more updates, and more tools to use for the digging.

### 4/5 — Rare review

*2026-08-25, version 1.10.11*

Actually a pretty fun idle game. Play it all the time when I’m on break. It’s entertaining and it’s not a cash grab. Just with the UI was a little more friendly. Not everything is explained.

### 4/5 — Great game! Could use one thing to make it even better!

*2026-08-24, version 1.10.11*

Love this game to pieces, just started and already finished 4 fossils. I think what’d make it really cool is if there were some kind of offline rewards as at the start making coins is a little difficult.

### 5/5 — relaxing

*2026-08-23, version 1.10.11*

very fun game! i love dinosaurs and it’s fun to guess which dinosaur i’m gonna find! i wish the ads were optional. i would totally just watch ads voluntarily to get more customers!

### 1/5 — Lost progress, what a waste.

*2026-08-22, version 1.10.11*

So, if you remove the app you will lose your progress completely. They have a stupid outdated method of recovering your progress by saving a code and using it next time you try to recover your account, but if you forget to do this you will lose your progress completely. I accidentally deleted the app and when I redownloaded it, my progress was wiped. I won’t even bother ever playing this again. The game also hasn’t gotten any updates so it’s just repetitive.

### 5/5 — Game is good

*2026-08-22, version 1.10.11*

It’s a good game just time consuming

### 5/5 — Круто

*2026-08-20, version 1.10.11*

Имба игра, залипательная и реклама почти не мешает

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2026-08-17, version 1.10.11*

Fun and addicting, only thing is I believe getting money offline would be good addition.

### 5/5 — Get this game

*2026-08-16, version 1.10.11*

And also get this game

### 5/5 — Boner digger

*2026-08-16, version 1.10.11*

Big boners big diggers
