Review summary

Across reviews, the most mentioned issues are ad-related frictions and monetization problems, followed by persistent glitches and crashes, and finally a lack of ongoing content after players reach the max upgrade or bottom of the mine. Players report ads appearing despite paying for 'no ads', sometimes with double charges or failed restorations. Glitches disrupt digging, money flow, and progression, and crashes ruin sessions. Many want more levels and continued progression beyond early-game completion, indicating the game loses momentum once the ceiling is reached.

Pros

Fun and entertaining gameplay.
Appeals to players of all ages.
Positive initial impression and generally engaging concept.

Cons

Ad overload: frequent, intrusive ads, including after upgrades and even after buying 'no ads'.
Monetization issues: double charges for no-ads and failed restoration of purchases.
Persistent glitches and crashes that affect digging, money payout, and overall stability.
Limited content: reaching maximum upgrade or bottom leaves little to do and requests for more levels.

2026-07-29	Un*****	As stated, purchased the no ads option and I still get continuous ads in game. Why even offer the option then??

2026-05-22	Re*****	The amount of ads in this game is ridiculous. Transfer from mining to build the city: watch a 5-min ad. Buy an upgrade using in-game funds: watch a 5-min ad I'm all for creators getting paid for their work, but there's already an ad banner in game, and you have to watch very long ads every few minutes of actually playing the game.

2025-04-15	xL*****	Not even 2 minutes into the game I got forced to watch an ad. You can't even close out. If you click on the "x" it just links to the app store to remove ads. Go try something else. Don't waste your time.

2025-02-27	Mo*****	I bought the no-ads and yet I’m still getting ads all the time after every upgrade I do, it just straight up stole my $2.99! Sure it’s not a lot of money but still it should’ve given me no ads and yet it doesn’t! They need to fix this ASAP!!
