Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
We are not sure how many people still play PM1, but the other day there were some issues with in game timers and factory timers, and they already fixed the issue. Very dedicated and responsive developers.
Ive been playing this game off and on for about 10 years, its a lot of fun.
Played it as a kid. Love it still, but the second one is our favorite.
Good game but we feel like it needs more in game ways to get cards and gems aside from chests events or with real money.
We were upgrading our pick all the way to the max level and have five crowns on that so far. When we got the fifth crown, the upgrade prestige just stopped appearing. Ive played this game in the past and Im sure we remember that the upgrade prestige would still appear well after five crowns. If thats a bug, please fix it. Thats why Im giving four stars instead of five. Apart from that, we have years of memories from the first time our older brother introduced us to this game.
We have never been interested in kiddish type games like this, but we started playing this one because we remembered having it a long time ago, and Im completely in love with it again! Its not super involved but it still has a lot you can do in it. It gets more addictive the more you play, and Ive never liked simple games, but this one is unique and Is one of our favorite games Ive ever played anywhere. Theres also a pocket ours 2 & 3, so you can download those as well, and between the three games you almost never run out of energy! We LOVE THIS GAME.
We have played this game and we loved, still do, but we tried to play it on our iPhone 6 and it does download and install, the problem is just after the opening picture we get audio but no video. The audio isnt glitchy and sounds normal. Its just a black screen. We gave it four stars because we have played this game before like we said and its really fun until you run out of energy. We tried rebooting our phone and that didnt fix it, we tried uninstalling the game twice and reinstalling it. Didnt work. We waited for several minutes just to see if it was our phone being slow but that wasnt the issue ( we mean it still could be partly at fault) we would like to know if it could be our device or if its a glitch that we can try to fix (idk how). Can someone tell us if they know whats going on.
We've been playing since 2014 and we're addicted! We have way too many artifacts and we wish there was some sort of way to add friends so we can give them away (facebook doesn't work) and the mines could use a little variety but other than that it's an awesome game.
Ive been enjoying this game for weeks on our iPhone 7 but as we upgraded we now cannot see the amount of money or gems we have. We would love to see a size fit option for the IPhone 12 screen. So if this could be fixed then we will change our rating back to a five. But other than that still a classic that we love to play.
So we used to love this game. This one is WAY better than the 2, but one problem there is only the original ours and lucky hit then the one you have to pay to do . It needs some new limited mines like the others it would make it so much more fun.
This is a pretty good game, but we do have a few problems with it. Number one, crates are too rare and so are artifacts, making it so the game pushes you towards purchasing travel tickets. Number two, rubies are way too rare. We understand that they are special but many things that require them need way too many to feasibly obtain, especially early-game. And finally, its really difficult to obtain enough duplicate cards to get a legendary card.
We really like Pocket ours and also the next 2 versions. Fun to play and not riddled with ads… Only if u choose. The dev responds pretty quickly. Thanks for the fun game.
This is a fun and addictive game. But we wish that you dont have to wait on the batteries to recharge. But yet again its free so try it out yourself and see what you think. Maybe you will want to write a review too for other people.
This game is a creative game and we like the levels but it has a hard side we tots recommend getting it.
We have been playing this game for a few years now. Most of the time it works great, sometimes it stops and the screen goes blank and sometimes we do not get our rewards besides that we really like it.
We are constantly running out of rubies you guys need to help out please. In total we need more rubies than ever.
There is one problem with playing this game when it says invite friends it means on Facebook and we dont have Facebook so please fix for messages too! The game does crash from time to time but most of our games do that, but when it crashes ours does save our data from the day but we have only been playing for a short while now. So plz fix, thx.
Really fun game but it kills our battery to fast our battery setting say it uses up 45%.
Great game, we love it the only issue is the adds.
The energy refill times wont count down while we're away and we have to wait for them to recharge in game.
It seemed to crash a lot for no reason.
This game is fun and awesome we have played it for a awhile but it crashes a lot and loose all your progress for that day but its free so try it out.
We absolutely love this game but why do we have to invite friends and to surveys to get gems!!! We would like to get them in-game please Im begging you.
We've had this app for atleast a month now and as of today it stopped working. Every time we open the app and start to play, the app completely shuts down.
So after having to delete and re-download the game, (one where we maxed out all our pick axe upgrades happily and had tons of rubies and cash left), due to a glitching problem with opening the app and never being able to open it again even after a year, we're playing again and more just to get back to where we were before, which took forever before and is still taking forever now. Noooow, our energies won't regenerate UNLESS we're on the game and leave our phone on for 15-1hr or the game gets forced quitted… We're not one to force quit our apps by clicking home twice and swiping it closed just because it "saves batteries", (which it doesn't btw it actually does more harm than good), because most of the times we don't bother to do so, so you'd be surprised by how many times we found ourselves with 0 energies after having left the game for like 3 HOURS or some period of time just because we didn't force quit the app because we forget or simply bc we don't do that… So please fix that. It's a fun game, but a seriously annoying problem.
Going to keep it short and sweet. Was on a golden ticket run. Ran out of swings. No rubies Click free rubies Tapjoy Downloaded yahoo finance for 22 rubies. Did what it said. No rubies and we lost the run. App Deleted And we loved this game.
Yea! This App is really REALLY fun and we're enjoying playing this so much! WoW this app is really REALLY fun thank you to the creators of this super fun game -"Thank You so very much!".
Well can't say super good but can say good XD, looking forward to another game if they upload another game similar to this game.
This game is so fun we could play it for hours on edge it is so fun to play! Thank you roofdog games.
So much fun to play all day, we wish our battery could keep up OMG.
A must have! Super addicting and fun.
We really like this game! It's entertaining and fun to find new trinkets.
Fun game but the game pushes you to buy stuff and it's irritating.
This game would be great if it didn't crash all the time.
Randomly freezes, crashes, and/or becomes unresponsive because of poor optimization. Very frustrating. Does not compensate you for your losses either. Lack of memory/too many entities causes crashes.
This is our most played game and our favorite game. Keep up the good work.
This Game Is An Awesome Non Data Using Game That Is Extremely Addicting And Fun.
We love this game!!! Simple and fun while we are sitting and waiting.
It's awesome and that's all we have 2 say cuz it's awesome.
Really fun weirdly the game kinda reminds us of memes but that is actually how we think it's a better game! You can get it right now! We mean it,GET IT RIGHT NOW OR ELSE.
Entertaining and fun. Could be addictive.
We think this is an awesome game! We love digging here! Love this game.
We love this game! Thankfully, you can play only five or six games before your energy needs to recharge; otherwise we would play continuously! A great game that's appropriate for all ages. Nice graphics (we think half the appeal for us is the shiny jewels!). Get this game (but be prepared for a new obsession).
We hate that it keeps crashing. Pls update m8.
We don't know why but its addicting, the number of times your able to use tour pick is interesting.
Super fun game, but keeps crashing while we're in the middle of a dig. Really disappointing cuz we lose all the items/money and the energy spent to go on that dig. Happens like 1/3 of the time.
Game is fun but… We never played a game where the count down to refresh your charge up only counts down while playing. Or use up all 5 batteries, which is what you need to allow you to play. Now you got a wait for them to charge up. There's nothing you can do you just sit there with the game open. There's videos you can watch call us which we did until we run out of videos we can watch. Games like the Walking Dead and the same kind of format. The BIG difference is The timer keeps counting down even if you shut down the game. You can come back hour/s later and your games fully charged up and ready to play. This game makes no sense, it's obviously a huge push for people to buy time $$$$ for that reason we give it two stars. Greedy developers if your game is good people will buy.
Your game keeps crashing. Make it stop.
This game is a ton of fun. Of course, the only somewhat-negative side of it is the energy system, which is still not too bad. However, we think it would be a good idea to make it so completing a mission restores 1 energy on top of giving key rewards. That way, completing missions is more encouraged, and the people who play and enjoy your game can enjoy it even more. If you read through this, thanks for your time.
Just redownloaded it, and we're rehooked.
