monetization33 negative mentions
  • Engaging and addictive gameplay with simple mechanics suitable for quick play sessions.
  • Supports offline play and has minimal intrusive ads, enhancing user experience.
  • Frequent updates and new content like special levels and events keep the game interesting.
  • Energy system restricts playtime, requiring waiting or spending money, frustrating many players.
  • Difficulties with obtaining rubies and in-game currency without real money purchases.
  • Connectivity and stability issues including Facebook integration problems, crashes, and glitches.

  • monetization

    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    15% positive mentions, 13% neutral mentions, 72% negative mentions

    Monetization in the game is generally well-received, with minimal and non-intrusive ads that can be optionally watched for rewards, and in-app purchases that are not essential for enjoyment. However, some users note an increase in ads promoting other games, occasional full-screen unskippable ads, and a desire for a paid ad-free version. Overall, the balance between free play and monetization is appreciated, though some find ads and in-app purchase costs excessive or frustrating.

    • “I love that your progress doesn't rely on making in-game purchases.”
    • “Not dependent on in-app purchases either.”
    • “This game is rather fun, and so far, hasn't required in-app purchases to enjoy the game.”
    • “Because game timers won't function without the internet and in almost every step of the way, "rubies" is a necessity which can only be attained through watching ads or by in-app purchases.”
    • “Way too many things going on at once: too many buttons to push, too many ads, too many offers, too much before you get to play the game. It honestly ruins the game.”
    • “Used to love this, but they push ads for their new games, which isn't a problem until they don't let you close the ad. You have the choice to play their new game or force close the app to get rid of the full screen ad with no option to close, only the option to install their new game.”

  • graphics

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    80% positive mentions, 5% neutral mentions, 15% negative mentions

    The game consistently receives praise for its good to excellent graphics, featuring smooth, cute, and appealing art styles that enhance the overall experience.

    • “This is a very addictive game with great controls and graphics and it's fun for anyone at any age.”
    • “The graphics are the best out of all 3.”

    50% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 17% negative mentions

    The gameplay is generally described as simple, addictive, and fun with quick, arcade-like mechanics and enjoyable progression through upgrades and collectibles. However, some users criticize the lack of depth, exploitative meta elements, and frustrating energy or monetization systems that can hinder long-term enjoyment. Overall, it's praised for its engaging core gameplay and time-passing appeal, though comparisons suggest other similar games may offer better challenges and graphics.

    • “Epic music, super addictive gameplay, never felt like it was overwhelming.”
    • “The gameplay is very simple yet fun, the items are fun to collect, the power ups are awesome, and the music is perfect, and the cards you collect are all pretty useful and can be used to your advantage.”
    • “The mechanics of the game are simple to grasp and in the lower levels it's fun to get upgrades and dig deeper and deeper.”
    • “This makes it impossible to beat your high score through the normal gameplay.”
    • “Terrible game, no point, bad mechanics, constantly asks for money.”
    • “No real depth to the gameplay and everything is overpriced and won't get you any further ahead.”

  • story

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    30% positive mentions, 40% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The story and mission structure are generally enjoyable and engaging, with a simple and fun gameplay plot. However, users find the missions repetitive due to a lack of new content, and some quests can be frustrating, such as missing required items or increasingly costly bonus missions.

    • “Super fun game, sometimes I get lost in playing to reach my mission goals.”
    • “It's a cool game with nice graphics and a nice game plot, and in the end, I love it!”
    • “It's very simple: all you have to do is dig and do your mission.”
    • “It's the only game I play on my phone most days, but now there are no new mines or artifacts. The missions are the same 4 missions and it's getting repetitive.”
    • “Bonus missions cost more and more each time they are released, why is this?”
    • “The sassy quest usually rewards no ruby.”

  • stability

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game experiences frequent stability issues, including freezing, glitches, and crashes that sometimes require force shutdowns or file resets. While it can be fun to play, these bugs significantly disrupt the gameplay experience, especially during menu navigation and specific actions like claiming rewards. Users report ongoing problems on various devices, indicating a need for urgent stability improvements.

    • “Every time I go to anything from the menu it freezes.”
    • “Though it doesn't happen all the time, when I go back to the game or open up my phone to it, I get a black screen and my phone completely freezes to the point where I have to remove the battery to shut it off.”
    • “I've been trying to play this game for a long time; every time I go to mine halfway through, the game freezes and I can't even scroll through my artifacts because it freezes.”

  • music

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 45% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The music is widely praised for its nostalgic 8-bit and retro style, reminiscent of 80's video games and early Game Boy titles, creating an enjoyable and catchy soundtrack that complements the gameplay well. However, one user mentioned that the music can become annoying in certain situations, indicating a potential need for more audio options. Overall, the soundtrack is considered one of the best for a mobile game.

    • “Epic music, super addictive gameplay, never felt like it was overwhelming.”
    • “This game has the best soundtrack for a mobile game I've heard so far.”
    • “The gameplay is very simple yet fun, the items are fun to collect, the power ups are awesome, and the music is perfect, and the cards you collect are all pretty useful and can be used to your advantage.”
    • “When playing with 5 batteries while having the music on, it is so annoying. Please change the music.”

  • grinding

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding in the game is generally considered minimal and manageable, but can become tedious after leveling up certain tools like the pickaxe. Overall, it offers a decent experience without excessive repetition.

    • “It's a good game but gets tedious when you level up your pickaxe too much.”
    • “Decent game but can get a little tedious.”
    • “Just a little grinding mining game.”

  • replayability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 100% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users feel that the game’s replayability would improve by adding a way to consistently acquire desired cards, enhancing long-term engagement and value for prestiges.
