The gameplay is generally enjoyable and straightforward, offering a fun incremental experience with clear goals, though some players find it simplistic and lacking depth. While the game provides a good amount of content for its short duration (5-10 hours), upgrades feel minimal and less impactful, leading to moments of reduced interactivity. Overall, it strikes a balance between fun and simplicity, reminiscent of mechanics found in Roblox games.
- “Really enjoyed the game, glad there was a good amount of gameplay and a succinct ending.”
- “The game is pretty short (5-10 hours of gameplay), pretty simple but also a lot of fun.”
- “Fun incremental game with easy mechanics and clear goals.”
- “I wish the upgrades were more meaningful or there were prestige mechanics. After beating the game and unlocking the most powerful pickaxe, your mining time goes from 0.14s to 0.13s; it's hardly noticeable and that's literally the hardest upgrade to get.”
- “Felt like there was a time near the end where you were mining for only one ore and the gameplay was less interactive, but overall it was a great time.”
- “Neat, but the core gameplay is quite dull.”

Players find the game enjoyable but criticize its short length and lack of replayability, leading to a tedious grinding experience, especially towards the end.
