Its not letting me move my little zombies, I have to click on them like 20x before its like oh you want to move it? Makes playing difficult and not fun.
I'm so sick of false images and advertisements...almost every game seems to have picked up this dirty trend. If you are wanting to play what those images and the video shows, keep moving..*(my reply to Royal Ark) There is zero ad confusion. What the ads show for the game and what the game actuallyis are 2 completely different entities. The sad thing is the game in the ad looks 1000x more fun than the game it really is..*
Gave it a 1 star because you can't give a zero... Nothing like the adds. Review edit seems like a rip off of "gold and goblins" that I have played of over 5 years. That game never had false ads...
Like the advertisement of the game but once loaded, it's nothing like the advertisement. So I deleted the game. Too many ppl not wanting to stay and be part of the group to help & always needing to have to buy packages.
nothing like the ad where you run around building stations and such. its just like any other idle miner game. they should be sued for false advertising.
false advertisement, game does not match ad
game wont update, in the middle of a tournament, level 172,
what in the mindless false advertising hell is this lol
not what's advertised
I want to play the game you show in the screenshot, the game is not like that one shown scam game
it is very bad games wastage of internet
glad I didn't waste money on this game, it starts having issues at level 69 where ads don't want to load and the game freezes up so you have to constantly restart your device, starting at level 89 you have to close and open the game at least 20 times just to move zombies and open capsules, you can only use half the screen on top of it, tried support several times but they don't seem to care, and are incapable of understanding anything you tell them about the issues
AD Bait
If you're playing through scrambly they will remove the game from your scrambly before aloted time to complete mines once you reach mine 50 and then scrambly will freeze your balance
100% false advertisement! nothing like the ads or the video and screenshots shown here
game and showing image different
update: worse than expected and uses fake close on ads
not as advertised
false advertising. the game plays nothing like the trailers.
it was nothing like the adds
has to be of the worst UIs in a modern game. dead spots around the oversized permanent icons which just happen to want you to spend money. only game I've played that shows AI adverts for fake medicines and "smart" glasses fraudulently claiming to be available in the UK and abusing trandmarks and having great trustpilot scores - not on the trustpilot website. Getting really greedy now actually making you watch 3 adverts to get a pittance of "reward". Save your storage space and don't bother.
is nothing like advertised. I wanted to play where you use a dozer the whole time. this game doesn't have it
This game is sucks it says playable offline but the game is only online
Nothing like the ad. Very disappointing. You basically start over every level. So what's the point 🤷🏽♀️
played this for scrambly, unfortunately without buying anything you cannot make the deadline for milestones with scrambly. repetitive and could progress alittle' faster than what it does, other than not being able to even make mine 30 in like 3 weeks it was fun. I'm deleting as soon as my scrambly is up no sense in having it after that. not a game I would play without making money, from scrambly.
you updated your POS game while I'm trying to play it to earn money, and now every time I watch an ad to get a reward the game closes out after the add finishes and it doesn't give me the reward for watching the ad.
same old BORING, disappointing story... the ad is more fun than the game. 😮💨
false advertisement. this game is not as shown in the advertisement. fake game!
after the last two updates the game has become unplayable
Nothing like commercials. You should not be able to show a completely different game and get away with that. You have no bulldozer ever. It's just a very slow moving game of orcs very slowly breaking rocks.
add a friend?!..are you being serious!?..10 gems and the prospect of missing the weekly *card..stop please.. it's bad enough i have to open 25 chest when i'm mine 156..ffs..have a great weekend.x
the game freezes after recent update. can scroll on screen not make the miners work. can't open the chest. wrote to support. still not working. i uninstalled and reinstalled to check. still same.
so the advertisement is a straight up LIE. It is misleading and shows you how much this company values players and customers. They are straight up willing to lie to them. Don't download this game. You would be better off developing your own game if you wanna drive a bulldozer and push gems and coins around, I'm sure it would be quicker then waiting on whoever made this game.
Not the game advertised.
FALSE ADVERTISING. characters drive vehicles to push gold is largely considered false advertising. specific game from the ads-where you drive a vehicle is Scam/Reality: The game in the ads (driving vehicles, multiplying gold through gates) does not represent the main gameplay, which is a standard "Idle Miner" clone where zombies dig and collect resources automatically. you need to be punished for misleading people, worst game ever
stopped working after last update
not at all like the ad
won't even open
Totally different game from ads or pics
not as advertised on Facebook, ad there was of a bulldozer moving gems to a processor. this was just dropping units next to veins. absolute garbage
neither ads for tgis game nor the screenshots on its store page reflect this game at all. why is this not illegal?
I watch the ads for the rewards but then I don't get the rewards
the game is not working. i need help
Nothing like the ads or pictures. why go through the effort of making fake advertisement? obviously you know your game is garbage so why not just make the game you originally advised since clearly you know that footage is what draws in players.
The game shown is not what you play. Complete false advertising. SMH, fkn sad.
game won't load at all an when it does takes hours to get done with missions
Not the game in the ads.
Been time syncing this game for over a year now. Events require heavy "micro" transactions to complete, and even the main nonseasonal mines require significant micro transactions to complete the weekly event. If the creators would tone down the requirements to complete, the game would be much more appealing to people I believe. the greed is real and rampant. it's a shame.
where is the game that the pictures show?!
gameplay isnt as advertised
