After reaching a certain level, the game keeps increasing the amount necessary to proceed regardless of how many times you upgrade. ### 3/5 — Saving problem *2026-06-12, version 1.6.6* I like this game but my only problem was sometimes when I closed the game to do something (before I went back to the home or whatever it’s called) and loaded the game back up it would delete anything I did last time I played which is sadly why I stopped playing. ### 2/5 — It was good *2026-04-22, version 1.6.5* It was good but. I watched so many adds just to get stuck on the moon. Can’t get any further. Without watching even more ads. And buy bombs. I’m done Delete. ### 3/5 — M4SON75 *2026-04-18, version 1.6.5* Good game so far ### 3/5 — Sometimes works. *2026-04-17, version 1.6.5* Sometimes this game downloads and sometimes it doesn’t, when it doesn’t it gets stuck in configuring for you device mode. If you have an iPhone 16 pro+ Well you’re out of luck. Positive note, this game when it works is fun and entertaining. Easy to play with lots of rewards. Due to the game’s potential it’s getting a 3 star. Would be happy to give it a five star if I could play again. ### 3/5 — Tired of the ball freezing *2026-03-26, version 1.6.5* The game is fun, but the ball keeps randomly freezing to the spot and the only thing you can do is hit the home button. That really sucks the fun out of it after spending a bunch of time getting down to an area. Especially when it happens multiple times in a row. ### 3/5 — Glitchy *2026-03-25, version 1.6.4* Good game but it take quite a bit of grinding to be able to upgrade and the app has quite a few glitches to where I have had to delete the game twice and redownload it ### 4/5 — Good but limited *2026-03-09, version 1.6.3* I eNjoyed this game, but made the mistake of buying an expansion pack that gave me 2.1 million coins and god like powers to buy all the bombs, now I’ve done everything I can, and the fun is gone. It says there’s a mars level, which there isn’t, and it says you can visit the forest world, but much you can’t without paying for it. So really there’s no point in playing any more as I can’t do anything and there’s no point just blowing up what little land is left as I have nothing to aim for. ### 3/5 — Fui roubado!! *2026-02-28* Gastei dinheiro com o jogo e o jogo tirou todas minhas recompensas. Minha vonta que tinha algumas recompensas pagas sumiram!! **Developer response:** This issue has been fixed, please try the new update. ### 2/5 — Is as advertised but rips assets from other games *2026-02-06, version 1.6.3* I’ve only played maybe 10 minutes and it’s just as advertised and I have no problems with it other than they ripped some of the resources straight from a much better game “shape of dreams” and it’s a shame but Thats my only issue so far ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash scam *2026-07-03, version 1.6.8* No responses from developers, buggy from the moment you complete the main missions. Hangs on “synchronizing” at end of level and the report function hangs as well. Scam app ### 1/5 — ADS *2026-05-22, version 1.6.6* Too many ads on this game ### 1/5 — Garbage programming and super glitchy *2026-05-08, version 1.6.6* I do not recommend this game at all. The app is very glitchy and doesn’t actually function the way it should the movement is choppy. The joystick function is not correct. When doing the extras the game crashes or freezes. This is just a not well programmed game. ### 1/5 — The advertisement *2026-03-11, version 1.6.3* This game was fun until the advertisements. Can’t play due to the constant advertisements. ### 1/5 — ai slop *2026-02-12, version 1.6.3* The game is kinda fun until you realize that half the artwork/assets are AI generated. Go support mobile games with real artwork instead. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2026-02-05, version 1.6.3* I payed for VIP club as well as the $10 battle pass and I didn’t get any of the stuff it’s supposed to give you. No x3 rewards, no “no ads”, no infinite energy. No clone detonator. No way to contact them either. ### 1/5 — Lost everything *2026-02-03, version 1.6.3* Loaded into the game and everything I’ve unlocked is gone, upgrades, skills and detonators ### 1/5 — To many ads *2026-02-03, version 1.6.3* The free version is a joke can’t play a round without watching an add deleted it after the 3rd ad not that amazing to waste money on to buy the ad free version ### 1/5 — Great game BUT ruined with constant ads *2026-02-02, version 1.6.3* Would have even considered paying to get the battle pass but you destroyed that chance by playing an ad every 2 seconds. I get it’s a free game but if you care more about download numbers and retaining players forcing ads every second is not the way. You lost a potential paying customer and I will be deleting. I really like the game so that makes me sad. ### 1/5 — Forced add *2026-01-25, version 1.6.3* Bit annoying when games do this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Needs new mines *2026-08-04, version 1.6.8* Very enjoyable but played through and completed the game very quickly, it’s needs another 10 mines on the next update at least. 1 or 2 will just be completed very quickly again ### 5/5 — Please help *2026-06-15, version 1.6.6* I need the hard rock upgrade where is it at? ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-04-21, version 1.6.5* Great game, lots of enjoyment. It’s simple yet complex. Great concept, clean with hours of activity’s. Also like the simple rewards without being forced to watch a ton of ad’s. Good job, cheers ### 5/5 — Good *2026-04-02* Muito bom ### 5/5 — The *2026-03-01, version 1.6.3* Cool ### 5/5 — Chill game *2026-02-28, version 1.6.3* I like digging games ### 5/5 — Time killer *2026-02-15, version 1.6.3* Great game for quick play sessions, ads are not overwhelming. Worth the download. ### 5/5 — Nice game *2026-02-06, version 1.6.3* Good little game, kind of makes me think of a rpg, sort of, Play it you’ll know what I mean. Really pleasant. not much ads even though there is a few but hey devs have to gain something too. ### 5/5 — It’s a bomb *2026-02-02, version 1.6.3* Hi I’m a 10 year old kid who loves this bomb game. This has long recharges for the bomb, but I love it. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-01-31, version 1.6.3* Good game tbh --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
