  • story
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story aspect is currently lacking, with users noting the absence of audio and a meaningful narrative, as it only offers three tutorial missions. Many express disappointment over the game's unfinished state and hope for future updates that will introduce a more engaging storyline and missions. Overall, while the concept is promising, the execution leaves much to be desired.

    • “☯ story ☯”
    • “☐ few hours (10 - 20 hours) [if you focus on the main story]”
    • “No sound, no story/mission.”
    • “Game is unfinished but hopefully sound and missions will be added.”
    • “3 tutorial missions only.”
  • gameplay
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for being extremely limited, with only about 10 minutes of content and significant issues such as lack of sound, poor optimization, and frustrating mechanics like getting stuck in the ground and dirt falling out of the bucket. While the joystick controls are noted as a positive aspect, the overall experience is deemed unsatisfactory, leading to a lack of recommendation.

    • “I cannot recommend this game; there is no sound, you get stuck in the ground easily, there is only about 10 minutes of gameplay, the digging is not very optimized, and dirt randomly falls out the side of my bucket when swinging the excavator. The one good thing I have to say about it right now is that the joystick feels pretty good!”
    • “Still at this point, I will not recommend it as there are only a few minutes of gameplay, and there is still no sound.”

Many players express frustration over the game's inability to handle basic interactions, leading to a disappointing gameplay experience.

    • “Pretty bad... no sound, controls are very slow, gets stuck on tiny piles of dirt, the second my bucket hits the ground it glitches out and the hoe wants to flip over. Lags like crazy too; I can think of a million other things I could have spent my 5 bucks on besides this.”
  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics have received mixed feedback, with some users praising their quality and visual appeal, while others find them lacking or underwhelming. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the gaming experience, but opinions vary significantly among players.
