The game is nothing like the pictures. Its a fraud & not worth your time.
- add me on snap keezykittles · v1.50.0
I thought this game was relaxing at first but the amount of ads they make you watch to make any realy progress is absurd! Also these ads take you out of the game into other apps trying to make you buy something on their website! I’m not even in the damn game anymore! And there are at least 6 X buttons to get out of them IF they even take you back to the game!! NOT WORTH MONEY, FALSELY ADVERTISED, WASTE OF TIME!!
- Sam I Am 89 · v1.50.0
nothing like the ads, and really boring
- usubdidoifjd · v1.50.0
The ads in this game are ridiculous and non-stop. The game is becoming unplayable. Also…there is no point to this game, it is just a giant time suck.
- Scorpio11x2 · v1.50.0
It is really good 👍
- Qwertyuiopasdfghjklzxvcbcbn, · v1.50.0
Just another boring repetitive game that makes you want to smash your head against a brick wall! Apple game store = 99.95% suck!
- Snakebite1965 · v1.50.0
The game is absolutely nothing like the ads and commercials so you failed us
- Kiwifox710 · v1.50.0
Very repetitive game play. Nothing like ad.
- krinthen · v1.50.0
Can you please add an option to make the text bigger. I’m fighting a terminal issue and it’s causing my vision to go. I have to screenshot and zoom in to see the numbers. Please just add a settings option to make the text bigger and possibly an option to make the background fade. It’s something hard to see where the rocks are. Thank you for considering this.
- Malissa<3 · v1.50.0
This app is lacking quality. If you’d like to even have users on this app to enjoy its functionality, the least that could be done is to fix the overheating problem (specifically if a user wants to watch ads for offers the game is willing to give to players).
- #Mo_Ali · v1.50.0
This game is very glitchy, it has problems all the time, even after you spend several hours accumulating specific prizes it just doesn't give them to you… What's really crazy is when you go to their "support" page and try to submit your information EVEN THOUGH THAT DOESN'T WORK CORRECTLY! DO NOT BOTHER DOWNLOADING THIS GARBAGE, THE DEVELOPERS DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT AT ALL IT DOESN'T WORK AND IT'S A WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!
- AraG74 · v1.50.0
I deleted it once I found out
- HeyKayTak · v1.50.0
This game allows an add that opens your Amazon app without permission
- Barsox · v1.50.0
This game is ok except for the fact that they expect you to pay for things. The treasure hunt feature is a joke unless you buy the pass because you will waste shovels on things that are locked and it won’t tell you until afterwards. Just money hungry developers as usual. Don’t waste your time.
- Xkdifuhckd · v1.50.0
I played the “ad” version of this game every time it popped up and I loved it so much I downloaded it. I immediately regretted it but thought to myself, just give it a chance. It may eventually turn not what the ad version was. I’ve played it all evening and nope. Just the same boring routine. Not for me…
- Haleyvegas495 · v1.50.0
These are one of those apps that advertise the game is one thing, but it is actually a completely different game. Shame!
- wrotebynone · v1.50.0
Fun game but not the same as the ad that made me want to download it in the first place the only accurate picture is the last 3 and that doesn’t even cover how ridiculously slow it is to upgrade or actually play
- Defiant Ruler · v1.50.0
Ads force open the internet app and closes all open tabs. I’ve uninstalled the app cause it closed tabs that were needed. I tried to fill out the support request - keep receiving error
- Case_McGee_ · v1.50.0
The ad is fake
- Tyugyg · v1.49.0
The game is completely different than the demo and the photos
- HoosierDaDa · v1.49.0
This used to be my go to game. Ever since the last update, it takes a VERY long time to load. With my ADD, I can’t wait around that long. Hopefully they fix this soon.
- Lothospbg · v1.49.0
I believe everyone should leave one star, I wish you could have zero stars, ratings on games that show you an ad that shows one thing and the game is something else. The ad had me drive a tractor and collect ore. The ore is broken down and it turns to Cash which unlocks new levels and higher levels of ore. This game is drag a goblin and merge the goblin with another and then drag the goblin to a rock and let it hit the rock. This is a completely different game.
- BatMax01 · v1.49.0
I get an ad, the ad has little goblin’s adventuring in mine’s. Dodging boulders of gold, pushing them into some sort of machine to make gold coins. A game where you navigate a dangerous world to enrich yourself and upgrade your miners and collection. I download the game. Im introduced into the most passive lifeless mining world you can imagine. Uncover the interesting mining world of, a mine that has been mined before, and minerals have regrown over old equipment that you uncover and use cards and potions that you find at a pre planned pace to allow you to turn the old equipment into automated gold machines so you can earn potions(?) and wait minutes in real time to unlock the next couple of blocks…. It’s nothing like the ads. Its just a hallway simulator with a mine coating on it and a bunch of timed locks blocking your path. Dopamine farmer the game. Done 1000 times already with a goblin theme. I was so let down.
- Bobby Protick · v1.49.0
Like the game itself and enjoy playing it. But not only does it have some of the longest ads I’ve seen, but numerous times the ads froze or wouldn’t let me exit making me watch another ad. Just got done going through 4 ads because they would not let me get the reward! So the game is now gone!
- Jeff Teats · v1.49.0
As other recent reviews have said, the game has either slowed down dramatically in the entry loading screen or failed to load entirely. I’ve done all the standard tricks to make sure it wasn’t anything in my end without luck. Generally my go-to time killer game
- AmbLefevre · v1.49.0
Have been playing this for a long time. For the past few days, the game won’t open, like it’s looking for an internet connection. Tried to message the developer but the form keeps saying there are errors in the for and it won’t submit my message.
- Pcespedes · v1.49.0
I have played this game for years. This game hasn’t loaded on my iPad for two days. When I attempted multiple times to reach their “app support”, the form wouldn’t submit due to “errors” thought all fields were properly filled out.
- KPhelps0726 · v1.49.0
So I realized I was spending a lot of money buying the xtra packages and bonus stuff so two months ago I stopped buying them. It’s interesting that now I am no longer in the top 3 anymore. I guess the only way to win an event is if you buy it.
- Disappointed n broke · v1.49.0
Game freezing on startup. Acts like downloading but refuses to start
- Bmeek11 · v1.49.0
This game is awesome I’ve played for years but right now can’t log in…?
- Painlestoxin32 · v1.49.0
The game is nothing like what is advertised. Complete bait and switch
- Hoo4242 · v1.49.0
This is not what the game is this is 100% fake
- Ffakegames · v1.49.0
Game play is nothing like the ad
- Huge fann. · v1.49.0
This game is not played the way it’s advertised. I don’t run around adding money to cash banks to upgrade inventory/machines. All that happens is breaking block after block and going through a gate.
- IrishLibra8311 · v1.49.0
Very therapeutic to see how they can progress.
- adelyn prudente · v1.49.0
The game is ok but it is 0% like the preview shown.
- Ilomath · v1.49.0
This is not how the actual game is. It would be better if it was like how you advertise it. Edit: I’ve been playing this game for a long time and not once has it had gameplay like they are advertising. I stand by my original review.
- Saphrya · v1.49.0
Thanks The Tower for reminding how horrible this game is.
- Landorous · v1.49.0
FALSE FALSE FALSE. False advertising at its finest, lame cash grab company with ads that make it look fun. It’s not, it’s a wait 25 hour for this rock to be mined type of game. Trash garbage dumpster fire.
- Halvorson27 · v1.49.0
Not like ad!!!!
- Squiggy2500 · v1.49.0
Just another fraud “game” that is nothing like the ads and is only built to suck your time and money. Absolute garbage.
- MrMclear · v1.49.0
Game was fun until they stopped with the amount a barrel gives you, use to give more than double of your largest mine, now it gives 50 percent less than your largest mine
- towmanjay · v1.49.0
I have had this game for a while and keep seeing the ads while playing other games. It is a good game, however it is not the game shown in advertisements or even shown in videos in the App Store. Don’t expect to see 90% of what you see. Updated review: moving down to 1 star based on return comment from developer. This company admits that the game isn’t currently what is shown on the App Store , stating “Maybe you will see those features in the future”. One could argue that this is false advertising. Just build a game and show actual gameplay, stop trying to show off something that you clearly haven’t built. You don’t have to be all things at once. Be honest with what you have currently built.
- Jacksbt · v1.48.0
Completely unlike the game shown in advertisements
- NismoHappy · v1.48.0
The event is not bad, completable as f2p (if you watch ads anyway) but ads are BAD. Super long. And giving a player keys to unlock something…but half of what you unlock requires a real money purchase to actually get? Feels bad, no thanks.
- Sol Armande · v1.48.0
As a LONG TIME player of this game just to kill time I’ve realized over the years this game is a SUPER money grabber. As far as logging in a few times a day to just collect and SLIGHTLY progress, it’s ok. BUT if you ever want to hit top leaderboards in any event aside from the gem and elixir 30h events you will have to spend a few hundred dollars. If not more. It will also give you nothing in return. You can gain more just from chillin out and never giving effort. Leaderboards are quite obviously scammed. I tested it. Put in as many hours as possible in a 4 day event just to never even get all the keys required to get rewards.! MONEY GRAB GAME! Fair warning guys
- TGOD James · v1.48.0
I downloaded this game after seeing the ad in another game. The actual game is nothing like what was shown in the ad.
- MizzMary81 · v1.48.0
If you want to play the game shown in the advertisement where you push gems through gates and things like that, then don’t bother downloading this game. There is not a single moment of that kind of gameplay on this app.
- BoNs414 · v1.48.0
Even in the App Store, the real gameplay isn’t until the 7th picture. Don’t download this. It’s just not what you’re expecting
- Mazzy7484 · v1.48.0
The game is absolutely nothing like the ad portrays. Download it expecting the relaxing bulldozer game from the ad and you’ll be completely disappointed. The only thing you will find is yet another overly complicated resource management game clone. I’m deleting it, save yourself the bother.
