Community Insight:
Its fun if your bored and you dont know what to do.
Us not want right revew butt mz is forced to right one.
Such a fun game when you put the time into great animation too love this game.
We wish there were more levels after you rescue the girl. But all in all pretty fun.
The game is fun its challenging and addictive but theres one problem there are to many ads in this game you cant even skip the ads so we hope you read our message.
We were hoping the later levels would have some variety.
The game itself is decent but with such short rounds the ads should be greatly reduced.
All in all a fun game (if you play it in airplane mode) but sometimes your attractions will downgrade but retain the number needed to level (needing level 3 requirements for level 2) but otherwise, pretty fun, may keep playing it for a while.
This game is fun we completed it in a day or so. We feel like they should have more levels. The ads are annoying but you can turn your phone on airplane mode and it gets rid of that problem.
This game is far to short, we beat the game in under 90 minuets and once you beat the game there really isnt much of a goal after that.
We liked the game and we had two bucks to spare so we played ad free. The game is way better without all the ads, but we beat the game in a day and now feel like we threw $2 into the wind. It needs more levels or more worlds or different hazards. It just needs more.
So, we were having a lot of fun playing this but we started to notice the game had been randomly killing us, when we tap a direction it goes the other. And, sometimes the game kicks us out. We also lost 200 of our coins before we bought a new character. But besides these, the gameplay is great.
Okay the ads are over time but it was fun so we dropped the 2 bucks. Then only to realize we finished the game in a couple of days playing during breaks.
So the game concept is alright and it is fluid enough, but the ads are waaaaay over the top on this. At the end of every round you have to watch an ad, for every continue, sometimes when loading. A round might only last 15 seconds if you have a bad run, so really you are watching ads more than playing the game. It is excessive. Other F2P (free to play) games offer ads where you can say like no we do not want to watch, but if you do watch you get a bonus. It would be nice if this game took that approach, but no, to even play there are non-stop ads. In summation, unless you want to pay for ad-free version of this, we would not get this game.
This game is simple and fun, but theres one decision that kills the fun for us: the ads. Normally, when one dies you have the choice of paying for no ads, or selecting yes or no. One would think selecting yes prompts an ad video to watch which is well and fine, but selecting no ALSO plays an ad? Being forced to watch an ad even if we didnt want to continue was bad enough, so one decides if Im forced to watch an ad we might as well use the continue. Then you are forced into watching a second ad the moment you die after using your continue. We would rather just spend money outright, and at its low price we might have done just that, but the first sour taste has already been left in our mouth, and thus, our desire to continue playing has ended.
Its ridiculous we have no words.
For a second thought, we were just bored and found this app. It looked fun but then you play it, you also have to battery for the digger. Why does he need battery for? Why couldnt they just call in stamina instead. And also you die very easily. You even to go fast just to get battery and dont die. Its not fair that there is so many objects that kill you. Why does this game need to be hard and unfair to us? The creators did a bad job to the game and should make it more fun and not hard and completely unfair as well. So we like the game but just dont like how its hard and the ads too.
Fix please Crashes at start and wont play on Apple TV.
To many adds dont make it free to waste peoples time just charge if you really want the money every 15 sec adds.
We cant work out if this is fun since most of our time is spent waiting for 30s unstoppable adverts to finish.
The game itself is fine, but expect to spend more time watching ads than actually playing. A really poor business model makes this game virtually unplayable.
Having a long 30sec Ad play every third attempt ruins the game. These kinds of games where you die a lot and replay is a core mechanic. Cannot coexist where Ads are forced on you. We pretty much give up playing. It just ruins the longevity of the game. We hope the 10 cents we generated in ad funds help you improve the game.
Id say the game is okay but theres no way to know as youll be stuck watching ads most of the time. The ads they play are mandatory without exit button and then load a small version of the game which you have to wait out or play through. Its really awful.
You will spend lots of time on the tedious task of collecting coins between each level. You need to click maybe 10 different places with no skil. To collect them. Made us uninstall. And the ads are everywhere.
Weirdly, this is a crossroads clone. Worse, its a timer game, as in, play frantic, or loose. We did not find it fun.
It called our obese Nigerian uncle fat.
It shows advertisements longer than gameplay and its not that fun to begin with.
Unmutable ads after every round. No.
It would be a fun game if it wasnt oversaturated with ads.
Would have liked the game mat bad, but the ads were too annoying. Uninstalled after playing it 4 times couldnt take the ads in the middle of playing.
Ive never written an app review before, but this is necessary. The game itself is very fun, but there are way too many ads! We are very frustrated. While there is the option the remove them for a cost, the better option would be to just delete the game. Disappointed.
This game is fun and challenging. Its different than the other mining games Ive played and we really like it but the ads are ridiculous. We understand getting an ad if you want to continue from where you died. Most games make you watch an ad to skip ahead but we had to watch ads even if we wanted to start over. We understand why there are ads but we should watch ads more than we actually play the game.
We understand the need for ads from the developer standpoint but there is a limit to how often they should appear to maximize both profits and player engagement. We deleted the app after we hit 3 ads in an extremely short period of time. Enjoy the $0.30 you gained but Im confident we will avoid any future apps made by this dev in the future. Learn from this and stop shooting your self and your player base in the face.
This game is entertaining to a point. We have been playing it for two days, and will be deleting it. Its super glitchy, which is not good for a game that depends on seconds. The game does not respond to taps, so, we constantly get crushed by boulders, blown to bits by bombs, stabbed our trickster voodoo boxes, or accidentally digging into lava. The game turns from relaxing to stressful really quickly. Play with caution.
The Upgrade Battery to 100% achievement is not working. As others have said, you watch ads more than you play the game. Game is short. Took less than a day to beat it. Dont waste your time.
Diggerman is not a great name for this game because it should be called Diggerads. What could have been a really fun game is really a bombardment of ads that make playing it unbearable for longer than a few tries. We understand ads on free games to help support it financially, but this is torture to even try the game out.
This could be a really fun game if it werent for all of the ads.
Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads Ads oh and did we say ADS.
There are a ridiculous amount of ads in this game, like a full minute of ads for 30 seconds of gameplay. Dont waste your time.
We played two rounds and Ad popped up that was nearly 30 seconds. Constant ads drove us nuts, finally deleted after an hour of playing. It has a lot of potential but not worth the time and money. Thanks for the momentary enjoyment, twas fun.
First of all, ads are waaay to frequent and also sometimes the ads will glitch out and make you fully watch the ad and then the screen will permanently be black. Please fix.
The advertising/ game play ratio is almost 1:1.
This is a fun game, but the ads are over the top. It almost feels like you have to see ads more often than actual gameplay. We dont mind occasional ads, this this is the worst case of turning them up that we have ever seen.
Usually a mobile game has a dash of ads to support it. This is apparently an equal part of both. It is a fun game but the frequency of the advertisements ruins the experience. Like 1 Star ruins bad. Which then the developers have been leaving a message saying to then buy the ad-free version. But a free mobile game just shouldnt have this many ads. See the recurring theme here? Sigh.
Yet another game where youre watching ads more than actually playing the game. Uninstall. Making note of this developer to not download their games again.
Play for 30 seconds and game over. Then watch an ad for 30 seconds and so on and so on. After about 3 rounds we just have to close the app due to lack of progress and so many ads. Really hard to earn enough coins to upgrade you battery and after upgrading a bunch it doesnt seem to really last much longer anyways.
This is essentially advertisements with a game here and there. So many ads its unplayable.
Cool concept. Wish we could have played more than 5 seconds before being berated by ads. We cant even progress to level two without watching an ad. Level costs 5 coins and we were only given 3 to begin with. We watched more ads than played the actual game. This seems like a cash grab by the boss and a disappointment to the rest of the developers who probably put in a ton of hours. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
We were just trying to collect all our coins, but the game was crashing cause it couldnt handle the fact that we were quickly collecting the coins. Put in that feature.
