## Review summary

Reviews largely criticize Canal Builder for extremely slow progression, with players repeatedly noting the single excavator and the high cost/low payoff of upgrades. Many feel progress relies on watching ads, and offline earnings are meager. Technical issues like a stuck fossil museum and audio glitches are mentioned by a few. Some users still appreciate the game's concept and charm, expressing love for the idea and a desire for more content (additional diggers, more levels). Overall, the game has a promising premise but struggles with pacing, balance, and reliability.

### Pros

- Good concept/idea behind the canal-building idle game.
- The game is enjoyable and has potential when it runs.
- Appealing canal-building theme with idle mechanics and a positive vibe.

### Cons

- Progression is extremely slow and grindy, making advancement feel tedious.
- Only one digger/excavator is available, limiting progress.
- Upgrades are expensive and provide little improvement for the cost.
- Progress often depends on watching ads, which hurts the experience.
- Offline earnings are minimal / offline progress is very limited.
