It’s pretty darn good
Honestly so far the game is fun if you don’t like game where there’s a lot of processing then I would tell you that it might be a little boring or annoying.
No subject
Back to back ads not worth playing just ads for this game. Whoever made this game sucks balls
Not bad!
I think all my minutes will be spent here!
Ads
Could be a great game. Except for all the forced ads. Every time I upgrade...ad.
Star tester
I saw this game on a add and I love the game when I started this game
Five Stars rating
Awesome job on this app
Forced ads? Hell no.
I don’t mind too much if you want to put optional ads for small boosts or resource bundles but any game dev that forces unavoidable ads on their users during gameplay, unless they pay to remove ads, should be banned from making games and forced to work retail. Good thing they’re really easy to skip immediately but I still won’t give any more of my time to this game, at least until this abysmal decision to add forced ads is overturned.
Bug fix
I love the game I think it’s grate but the only thing that would fix is the quarry excavation site next to the income upgrade building when you go to access it, it will bring up the screen to upgrade it but it won’t let you leave the menu there is no (X) to press to exit
To many forced ads
In gamely it automatically pops up and forces you to watch ads. If I want to watch an ad for extra money or something that’s one thing but don’t force them
Interesting premise. Could use a little work.
This is another one of this ideal “maximize production out out games” I liked that it was free with paid option. I do normally pay to have the random ads taken out of these games if they give the option and was a little dismayed to see that it was 10 dollars. But I went ahead and bought it. I regretted it almost immediately. It made the game way too quick and easy because it got rid of all ads. Not just the ones that were random pop ups. I would have gladly paid less then 10 to have just the pop up ads I didn’t ask for removed but still have the option to watch ads for ingame rewards. That is my biggest complaint. I know it sounds silly “who doesn’t want less ads?” But the balance of the game was really thrown off when you got rid of ads completely. I should have just kept doing my work around for these games a left my internet off while playing so I didn’t get pop up ads.
Great game
Great game ads ofc but very annoying of the forced break ads.theres also a bug where the second sand machine on the first map has no exit button so you have to close the app and reopen to get out of the upgrade menu
Horrible
Literally ADs every 15sec. Don’t bother
The excavator
It’ll let you pull up the screen but it won’t let you close it you have to close out the game and restart it losing all progress please fix other than that the game is a great time killer I have pictures if you need to know what I’m talking about
Ok
Game is ok for a few days, but gets pretty repetitive and once you finish upgrades there is no more point playing
Bugged rig
When you click on the rig, window with upgrades pops up but you’re unable to close it as it comes all the way to the top of the screen.
Ok
Tuyệt vời
Add simulator more like it
This game is literally all adds you open to an add, upgrade=straight to an add, level up anything= straight to an add, I literally had 5 adds within 2-3 minutes. Only way to avoid is to turn off all data an go into airplane mode. For a free game I’ll just move on an delete the game, if i had payed for it I’d be irate. But still straight trash with all the adds. Im not adjusting my phone settings to cater to your game. Have yourself a great life. Bye.
I like the game
Just a request to fix a bug with the excavator machine thats to the right of the office. Once you're around level 35+ and you go in to upgrade it will jam and doesn't let you leave the screen unless you close the game and you lose the progress. Please fix
バグで操作不能
iPhone11です。自動砂掘りエリアのアップグレード画面がバグってて右上の✖️が表示されないので元の画面に戻れない。改善希望。それがなければ多分面白いのに。
So many ads
Good game but ad fatigue has gotten to the point where im on the second map and after 5 mins on the game ive watched so many that i just dont want to play anymore
Rất hay
Rất hay
Good game just needs work
Love the game just that next to the upgrade next to the ocean once you go in it doesn’t let you out there is no X
Баг в игре/подскажите как исправить!
Висит замок на первой локации без возможности открытия, слева от основной локации, где погрузчики! Что делать для открытия этой локации игра не подсказывает? Есть внятный ответ как это сделать?
Bien mais
Jeux classique idle que j’apprécie mais trop de pub tout le temps et pour rien et des bugs
Ads
Id definitely give it 5 stars if i wasn’t watching an ad every 15 seconds…🙄
Thank you
Thank you
Forced ads
I don’t mind watching ad, but forced ad is a NO
No music
The game is nice design is put almost kind of mind crafting game but I do hear the sound in the game but no music I would like it better if it had music as well anyway I will say it’s a 4.5
Ads everywhere
Forced ads, bonus ads, ads for ads. You physically cannot play the game for five minutes without a forced ad. Other than the ads. Appeared optimized and very playable. Nice graphics, challenging but fun difficulty. Get rid of forced ads and I’d consider redownloading.

Balances needs beautifully
Ads are no surprise. There is ample warning before a forced ad comes up. The forced ads are not overly long or are skippable and I don’t end up with ad fatigue. The game itself is simple yet fun.
Ads for no reason
There is no real goal and every so often, like minutely, you have to take an ad break. Also the challenges can’t be done unless you watch like 10 very long ads. Find something better to do like watching the dust accumulate on a bookshelf.
Don’t bother
This game keeps getting a makeover but nothing actually changes. It’s a nice game and all but there’s always bugs and the same problems
It,s ok
The graphics are good and all but there’s still something missing
Ok

How are there so many 5 star ratings
Game forces you to take “breaks” or as they have in their mind watch ads there’s no way there are so many 5 star ratings for this greedy app probably all bots
Too many ads
The game is good if you like the whole “tycoon” series BUT there are way too many ads and you don’t even have an option aside from paying to skip the ad. You game for a bit and then ad and it repeats over and over. Too many ads=deletion. Sorry guys. To those willing to pay to remove ads it’s $10.
Glitch
Good game to waste a bit of time - only problem is in the research screen can’t get back to game without shutting down and restarting - maybe some one can look at that- thanks
Y si
Y el presidente de
To many bloody adds
It would be fun time waster however it keeps interrupting you with a “take a break” button in the middle of the screen that basically just forces another bloody add on you. Deleted the game after 20 minutes!
To many ads
Way to many ads pop up way to often be u can pay 9.99 to remove ads or u can just save ur time and not download it
Forced ads 0 star, auto deleted
Title says it all
Ad-Ware, user beware!
For a free, idle game, this is what they all are… with a heaping helping of ads. Bonus ads. Forced ads. Trying to find the optimal manager to assign to a task was an exercise in frustration… forced ad after forced ad - thinly disguised as “Take a helpful break”. So I’m taking their advice, and taking a break. A permanent one. I have lots of free time… a game I like, I’m willing to watch ads in support of. But my time is only free to me. This game consists of ads, a short gaming break, then another ad. It will repeat the cycle til you kill it. There are better ways to scratch your idle-gaming itch. 1 star - ads, apon ads, apon ads. Bonus star - the game itself was exactly as expected. No crashes, bugs, or game breaking errors. DEVS: You are losing an obscene amount of users and potential users… customers in other words. Cut back on the ads. More users = less ads x more eyeballs = $$$ Can’t be plainer than that. Also, I Suggest implementing some 3D simulation to justify the route taken by the trucks… no miner would drive around a full load, that takes more fuel and fuel is money.
