Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Its a amazing game but you have to wait a long time to get a prestige.
We love this game and we give it 5stars.
We love this game its so much fun.
We originally played it on pc but on mobile its still just as good. We love playing this game in our free time and when we wanna play a game but dont want to devote all our attention to it. Truly a 10/10.
We think the ability buffer ability should be able to stack, even if you have to unlock it in the skill tree.
Us enjoy so everyone else should as well.
This game is still so good after like a year of up and playing it on an android phone its still so good its slow just like Minecraft this type of Minecraft you have to ours blocks and its kind of easy because its kind of relaxing. No play it every day before 9 oclock. We will do developers look at this review because it is seriously a good game. Keep up the good work.
Its the best game Ive ever played.
The games very great! Been playing for about a month now, however, we're tempted to buy the subscription but its a bit too expensive, and the only other gripe we have so far is that theres no setting for the reload, and reload short ability. It'd be great if there was a toggle-able setting that stops the reload short and reload abilities from interacting with each other. Every time we try and use them together our reload goes into our reload short and it messes up the whole system we have going.
If you make your pickaxe spoke use drill and strength potion all at the same time it is so good.
This is such an amazing game, it kinda gets repetitive, but its a fun time passer.
Game is so poorly made but its so nostalgic we dont care.
It doesnt force ads on you like other games you can watch ads to get double chest and stuff like that but its great.
This game is fun. You should try it four stars cause theres a thing where we just shake it and your phone but you have to turn on vibration and it actually like feels like youre like actually have a pickax. Its kind of like Minecraft.
This game has good gameplay and we get so much nostalgia when we play this game this game is so OG.
Us gusta mucho es muy divertido.
We used to play this game a lot! Very fun! We would rate 6 stars.
The graphics the everything is amazing.
Swung too hard and now our phone is halfway across the room, 10/10 would recommend.
Played it a lot, until that puzzle witch we were stuck on at the time and we wasnt very smart either when younger so we kinda forgot about it.
This is our favorite game Ive ever playrd.
PickCrafter is a game Ive always been passionate about, but we feel like their most recent major update (v6) ruined the game in many ways. For example, they changed the 3 biomes that require furnace crafting to have their costs increase each time you prestige. Thats a bad enough change, we wouldnt be too mad if it was just that since the costs stop rising at around P100 anyway, but on top of that, the Spatial Speed skill, which decreases the time it takes for items to craft in the furnace, now has diminishing returns. In v5, Spatial Speed was +1% per level, so you could get the furnace up to over 3500% faster (because 3500 was the max prestige), but now at the same prestige level, youd probably only get +800% or +900% speed (idk, we never reached P3500). So it will basically always take longer to do a v6 prestige compared to one in v5. They also added a new ascension feature in this update, and while some skills are worthwhile, like the Chest Gift and Master of the End, some others are not good. Some of them had potential, but we kid you not, they dont even work! Like the Master of Picks skill for example, it says it gives you +1% PPS for every pickaxe you own, but it LITERALLY DOES NOTHING! Some of them were just doomed from the start, like the skill called Pearl Collector, It gives you 1 ender pearl per ascension, per level of the skill. That skills max level is 7, and the current ascension cap is 15. So that means youll get a max of 105 ender pearls from this skill. That is NOT worth it, especially considering that there are much better ways to get more ender pearls, that dont demand the player to spend such a valuable currency. And thats where the next problem lies. You have to think VERY CAREFULLY about how to spend ascension crystals. We get why theres no option to refund ascension crystals like you can refund skill points in the regular skill tree, but there are so many balancing issues with the ascension skill tree, and the ascension system in general, that we question if they even playtested this thoroughly before the release of v6, because choosing bad skills will cost you DEARLY, making it much harder to get ascension crystals on your next ascension. Each ascension crystal on a single ascension requires more picks to get than the last, which we think is fine, as it encourages people to not stay on a single ascension for too long, but the total crystals youve collected also increase the amount of picks needed for the first crystal on an ascension. We get why they do this, but the amount that its affecting this needs to be decreased significantly. The first crystal you ever collect requires 1 trillion picks, which is fair, but Ive collected 652 crystals in total (we think, dont remember the exact number, but its around that). Our first crystal on our current ascension requires 234.3 quintillion picks (which is 234.3 million times more!) To give you an idea of how ridiculous that is, with our current ascension skills, getting that number of picks isnt feasible until youre at least Prestige 50, and even then, the best way is still using the apocalyptic pickaxe and opening ender chests for the gift of picks, which can take HOURS. HOURS OF JUST OPENING ENDER CHESTS. FOR ONE CRYSTAL. However, you gotta get a lot of crystals per ascension, so that you can even get the best skills to begin with! Remember how we said there was an ascension limit, currently being 15? Well, there are some skills in the game that cost a lot of crystals. The most expensive one, the Ascension Throne costs 200 crystals, and you have to get like 8 other skills that also cost a few hundred crystals in total before you can get that one. Also, there was actually an achievement for getting it on the Steam version, but it was removed because its basically impossible. Well, TECHNICALLY, it IS possible, but its on a new level of ridiculousness. With the current ascension cap, if the player got 50 crystals on every ascension, totalling 750, and got 1 level on every other ascension skill, they still wouldnt have enough crystals to get the Ascension Throne. And thats IF the player gets 750, because to our knowledge, no player has done this legit. So in conclusion, this isnt necessarily a bad game, it just has a lot of issues plaguing it that make it so much worse than it could be. And Ive seen what this game used to look like, back in early v3, this game was at its absolute peak in our opinion. Each prestige was faster than the last, it wasnt so grind heavy, and the developers actually listened to the community. Now, weve gone almost 2 years with no new content, just some minor fixes. We understand that the main focus for the developers right now is on their upcoming game, NIMRODS, and while it looks great, we dont think they should completely leave PickCrafter in the dust. Lets hope they listen to us, but for now, we cant give it anything higher than 2 stars.
Ive been playing this game for awhile now and we havent gotten tired of it. This game is pretty fun and addictive. It helps time go by fast while at work. And also just a fun game to play in general. And even better it is an idle game so no matter what you are progressing. The only issue we have is we wish there were more events. There is usually one going on but we wish there was more. Other than that this game is awesome and we would recommend it for anyone.
Minecraft Idle Game = good game also a lot of idle games are just fun in general.
Our 20 year-old son had cancer and he played this game for two years and now he doesnt have cancer anymore.
Name 10 popular games (cant be games that are on websites) One of them is Minecraft . Now name 10 popular website games you probably have cookie clicker on that list now just add in boss fights and you got this game we can tell that the dev of this game put hours of heartfelt hours in this game and even better no forced ads you might be saying eh most of the games we play barely have any ads well you can notice that this game takes you in and the no ads lets you keep on going. We dont have any reason why not to like this game besides for grinding but if you do like 10 minutes a day you would have no problem with the heavy grinding but over time you would still make progress _____ / | | \ we | | we | | | | -a fan of your work.
When we tried to watch for 2 chests for 2 ads we got 1. Is it supposed to be in the game or not because the ads we got were also bugged because when we played one it didnt work and the other one had no playable ads and how much do u need to play merge crafter or whatever it was called to get the pickaxe, or what do u need for the pickaxe.
You can ours all day long and then you can buy all the stuff and like its just so fun.
This game we ended up growing up with in 2015. It was so much fun. We could never let it go.
A Pick Pet can summon tiny pickaxes that will ours for you, and they are more powerful by 10% every time you upgrade it :).
We got a pickaxe chest x3 large mythic chest and 1000 runic.
We mean its kinda like Minecraft but with a few tweaks and second: its awesome.
Ive played this since we were a little kid and we completely forgot about it but now we got it and we love it.
Love this game so much the biomes are really cool and interesting!!! Update 6 was amazing and we cant wait for future updates! Keep up the good work.
We just played this game and it is so fun our mom wont let us follow your what ever but the game is so fun ! That is why we gave it 5 stars.
Gave us 100 free runic and a Devine pickaxe.
We friggin love this game with all our heart! Its offline and online, it doesnt bombard you with adds, heck! We cant remember the last time we got one! It has everything cookie clicker has, besides things the question what world the world of cookie cliker lives in. It embrases the Minecraft, it feels le a first or se done cousin to Minecraft, it s Minecrafts sleepy sister! We are not a bot, we just reeelally like this game! We Donte isusa Pity type like this ki assure you! This game is the best, -Fan Of Tis Game, March 2025.
We used to play this game a lot when we were 7-8, and now that Ive reinstalled it on a different phone, its super nostalgic despite having different features! The game features too much new content that we cant even call it a Minecraft ripoff! And every prestige, you unlock a new biome to go to, which makes this game not boring after the first 3 days! A couple things we would recommend is swapping the emeralds and diamond in the caves and deep caverns to make it make more sense. Second thing we would recommend is to make the armor and tools give more picks per second because we feel like buying something thatll only give us like 30 picks per second is kinda useless even with max skill point upgrades. Other than that, wonderful game. Did we mention that theres no forced ads? Thats not a suggestion please dont add forced ads.
We used to play this game when we were a kid and we loved it. We didnt know it after we find out what its name was. It is so fun we can spam. We used to blame it on a broken tablet, but now we can spam are so far in this game now we gotta start back at the beginning, but this game is the best you should play.
Hello,if you are reading this we want you to know, this game is very fun and, easy and its the best game we own its creative,and very fun it is like a second version of Minecraft so if you like mining this is where we would start.
Lots of people dont have this game sadly but its cool and calm so you should get it.
We have got a small problem with the harvest event. We have done all of the requirements for a quest in the event tab, and collecting the reward doesnt work! Could you please fix the problem? Thank you.
This game is amazing but we found 1 problem with it being that whenever we try to reset the boss timer with picks however many picks we have the amount of picks that we need keeps going up so Im not able to reset it.
We played this game a lot when we were little so we came back to a MUCH better game thanks so much.
We used to play this game as a kid and forgot what the name was Im glad we found it again this is such a great game.
Ik this is just like a fake Minecraft game but hey, at least it updates most of the time.
We love the game but it is very hard too and also the limit we want it to be one-septillion.
We used to play this game around 2021 to 2022 on our old tablet we love this freaking game we were searching for stuff today when we remembered this game we looked for it for like 5 minutes we found it great game.
We read a review to make a discovery wheel pickaxe so please do that and last year we asked you to make the void prestige 30 or 35 so please do that so and add the under realm biome and it sounds cool and add a werewolf pickaxe so please do all this and please respond to this five amp you rock so thank you and do the request please add werewolfs in the under realm and see ya soon peace out.
In the next update could you add some new items to that we can buy with gunpowder? Maybe add a TNT you would have to craft with the gunpowder in this update. Thanks!! One more thing, what if you make a Pickaxe for the Discovery Wheel and make the Pickaxe out of gems that you would craft from a new biome. And the Pickaxe power would be to give you a spin at the Discovery Wheel but it has a 30 minute cooldown, this would be an awesome update!! Thanks.
