  • graphics
    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received overwhelmingly negative feedback, with users citing severe issues such as bugs, glitches, and poor visual quality, often rating them as low as 4/10. Many players have expressed frustration with the graphical representation of gameplay mechanics, leading to a diminished overall experience. Despite these criticisms, some users still find enjoyment in the game, indicating a divide in player satisfaction.

    • “Graphics are horrible, UI is bad, and overall experience is no good.”
    • “When you dig a hole but it's not quite the right spot, you try to dig another close by but the graphical hole just doubles over itself similar to having double vision, and you then cannot see in either hole because they obstruct each other. I mean, I genuinely have never played a game this bad.”
    • “Trash graphics, so many bugs in this game. I'm gonna wait till the next metal detecting game because this is unplayable.”
  • gameplay
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay is a mixed bag, with some players finding it enjoyable despite its clunky controls and numerous bugs. The limited drop system and lack of updates have left many feeling frustrated, especially after extensive playtime without significant rewards. Overall, while the mechanics may be flawed, the core gameplay experience still manages to provide some enjoyment.

    • “Yes, it has its fair share of bugs and the landscapes are relatively boring; however, the gameplay itself is still really enjoyable.”
    • “The controls are terrible, I don't know what kind of pipe the creators were smoking, but the gameplay is clunky and weird.”
    • “After five minutes, I had to watch a YouTube video just to see what I was doing wrong. That video was from 2018 and the gameplay and features were identical to today's version, so don't expect this game to ever be worked on.”
    • “So after many hours of playing, the drops are on, but they are just very limited—something like 3 drops every 12 hours of gameplay. I'm not sure on the exact triggers, and I also don't know if you can still get rare items; I haven't got one after 100+ hours.”
  • stability
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game suffers from significant stability issues, including persistent bugs and glitches that affect both gameplay and menus, such as screens remaining open and characters getting stuck. Players have reported various control problems and graphical issues, which detract from the overall experience, though many still express a willingness to continue playing despite these challenges.

    • “It's buggy and glitchy in every possible aspect. For example, if I open my detector tab and then switch to my shovel while that's opened, the detector tab will stay open on the screen and become non-functional. This doesn't just happen in-game; it also occurs in the menu. I can open the leaderboard, then switch to the shop, and the leaderboard doesn't go away. You have to go back to it and manually click out of it. Additionally, you can get your character stuck in-game. I think I used an emote that made me dance while crouching, and then I couldn't move. When I exited and came back, I spawned in the sky.”
    • “Sometimes the controls can be buggy.”
    • “It does have its issues graphically and has bugs and glitches.”
