The game is nothing like their ads and the responses they leave to reviews stating this is hilarious. “Maybe you will see such gameplay one day! Creation of new features is not a quick process, and it requires patience :)” Welcome to app development! Of course it takes time. But to mislead people based on […]

The game is nothing like the adds. the add depicts driving a bulldozer around to unlock level ups and make your ride larger. The game has you buying goblin workers to mine for resources that level up the miners and passive income generators. Once you make it past the first couple levels you get stuck […]

good and fun game, however, I will not change my rating until you remove the scam ads (especially Testerup and solitaire clash/ cash). I call these apps scams because, first, they claim to pay you money, but don’t, and second, the ads for these games won’t let you leave the ad and go back to […]

Another false advert game that shows fun coin/bulldozer gameplay in ads, then offers ZERO of that gameplay, to bait/switch w/ another rock breaking snorefest. That’s the new thing now, y’know?? every game from here to Township touts that type of ad but for some reason this type of gameplay is FORBIDDEN to actually give us. […]

This game was nothing close to what was depicted in the ad. Instead, it’s hours and hours of the same mindless repetitive task. Quite often you’ll find yourself with nothing to do for 3-5 hours at a time while you wait for the dumb goblins to open a gate or activate a mineshaft. The “events” […]

honestly disappointed.. not only does it absolutely take forever but sometimes in order to finish one mind you have to do three passes. basically what the game is nothing like the ads. All you do is sit there and wait for hours and then move a goblin up and go on to the next rock. […]

The ads for this game do NOT accurately depict the actual gameplay. There is not a lot of interaction between you and the game. 95% of the time there is just idle mining, waiting for goblins to hammer and drill out gold and other precious metals. Once they are done, you finally get to drive […]

Game used to be ok. I’ve played on and off when I had some time to kill. Now the ads are ridiculous. you used to be able to watch them, click the “x”, and go right back to the game. Now you watch their animation, then have a way-too-long timer, then it takes you to […]

Not a thing like the adds said it would be. Tried it for a long time anyway, was fun but mostly aggravating. The adds you can watch usually force open googleplay, when you can finally get out of it the game itself needs to reload and it claims you never watched the add for the […]

I love this game. It’s an idle mining game with 2 mines. There is a main mine that you continually work your way through, and usually an event mine that moves a bit faster and gives you prizes you can use on the main mine. With only 2 mines I never feel like I’m required […]

the game is NOT like it shows in the ad. You don’t drive a machine through mountains of gold or drag rocks for machines to break. The game is just a huge time waster and has a ton of ads. the more mines you do the more time it takes even 6 hours to get […]

It’s ok, but constant ads really puts a damper on the game. At firsts it was better with ads only lasting 30 secs, now they all 60 secs or more. Which makes the game very tedious to play, unless you spend money to be able to advance quicker, which I believe is the game makers […]

1. Not at ALL the game shown in the ads. 2. No skill required. It just takes time. Goblins are literally breaking rocks. You watch them break rocks. 3. This is also ingenious because it gets you to check into the game constantly to progress. The game designers create a lot of urgency, but one […]

Got a new phone and re downloaded the game. All my progress gone and I spent money on the game. Not only that but man did this game get the biggest DOWNGRADE ever. This game has allways had a focus on events. The difference now is that a couple of years ago the events, while […]

After having this for about a year and reaching Mine 43 without buying any upgrades, it’s become a chore. At first the experience of this idle game is pretty fun despite it not being like the advertisements. But after reaching a certain point it takes literal hours to progress, which could be attributed to the […]

If the game was like what the ads for the game what the actual game was like. It would be awesome but it is far from it. I’ve made it to mine 115 out of 145 but the events are decent but haven’t figured out how to get in the top 10 or even 1st […]

Pointless infinite grind. Graphics are cute but the entire point of the game is to erode your patience so you can break down and buy items. Every level is the same exact grind, only to get to the next level which is slower than the previous one. Edit: now there are timed events, designed to […]

False advertising, but ok game, even if it isn’t the one in the ads. Ads are optional, but progress is minimal without them, so “optional” is a stretch. Ads are super predatory and open the other app even when you hit the “X”. Ad free is $15 usd at the moment, which isn’t worth it. […]

Game is nothing like the ads, which is a bit disappointing, which is why I took off one star. Despite that, I do enjoy the game. Once you reach a certain level, progress does move very slow. The events can de almost impossible to finish. In over a year of playing I am yet to […]

False advertising ads. Pick at rocks, rush mines, automate to receive income, rush gates to unlock rewards, go back for rocks. That’s all there is. The mini game is a few seconds of driving for rewards. Takes time to play; goblins do not automatically move forward. You can win events by using gems but there […]
