Player Experience Highlights
Community Insight:
Love the game super addicting wish the teleportation deal would take us back down to our last spot or where we put the dang thing.
Game is great! We would love for a few implementations or changes: 1. If you fall from a long distance and grab a ladder as youre falling, it should not kill you. This is helpful when speeding up the time it takes to fall down near the bottom. 2. Rocks should crush the ladders if it falls on them. 3. The option to disable if a robot puts a support when it drills a rock and there is a rock over it. We dont like the supports; we prefer to only use ladders and we cant delete them once theyre placed.
A good way to sharpen memory by trying to remember what ladders to use.
To many ads, played a game similar to this but it was move complete. But the mining and how simple they keep it makes the game worth the time.
Love this little app. Over the years Ive played it through, then left it and always come back and go again.
It needs more skin more update too need go down more in the game.
May as well take the old school smart phones.
Miss this game! Catching up lol.
Nothings wrong with the game we think its good.
Simple and yet extremely satisfying game to play.
We think you should download this game because we love it.
Grate game can you please add elevators tho.
Lots of ads But its sooo freaking worth it we love this game.
Seems like it doesnt want us to buy the game once inside the app.
We bought the house upgrade teleport and all it does is tell us how to use teleport, we still have to buy the teleported if we want to use it. And we cant figure out how to use the maps? If we find or buy them it just says you discovered a part of the map so we dont exactly understand the point? We also would like if you could remove a ladder or support that was accidentally placed. Sometimes we accidentally place a support when we mean to place a ladder. Overall its fun to play, but these things bug us.
We would ad an elevator option and maybe some dynamite we think we its fun overall.
This is a good time consumer. Just need a few tweaks, especially after playing for a while. 1. The teleport should work BOTH WAYS, meaning after dumping a full backpack and refilling on necessary items, one can (as option) teleport back where they left off, instead of having to tediously climb back down to whatever level. 2. Removal of ladders, roof supports and bombs that clear a 9 block radius. 3. Definitely a quick button on the screen for ladder builds, WITH a counter letting one know how many ladders are left. 4. Robots that dig straight down, putting in ladders as it goes.
So far simple fun and a time waster .was looking for the old fashion miner games that we all played as a kid and so far this fits and its fun.
We played a very similar version of this game on an old Android phone years ago. The major advantage of that game over this one was that you could purchase elevators of different lengths that would punch through the layers to their prescribed length and make the trip down to the deeper depths much less tedious, once you had reached them the first time. The elevators worked both up and down and let you focus more on exploring the ours and mining gems. This would be an excellent addition to this game.
Maybe Im just dumb but it would be nice to have quick buttons for items on screen and a way to remove items you have placed.
We like to recommend TNT. A button for ladders and Supporting beams instead of having to find them after you deployed a robot or used a med kit. Another idea (its just us) would be ours carts. Have them hold minerals as you ours.
One of our favorite apps to kill time. But to many adds.
This was a favorite of ours on Android you could pay a couple bucks. This one has too many ads. No thanks.
We really dont like that the ads play every time you pause. It would be better if they were after you saved the game or something. Im really tired of the new age of lazy game designers putting ads in games. It started with those stupid games that took five minutes to make and now games that we played as a child are ruined now.
We really want to like this game but it continues to crash and send us back to our last save. The worst part is that it looks like theyre no longer updating the game, so we doubt the issues will be fixed. Id purchase the in-games but these issues will stop us from doing so.
We saved with a full backpack and a bunch of ladders and when we loaded back in what we dug was still there but the ladders were gone and the ores were not in our backpack.
This game is obviously based off the game Gem Miner: Dig Deeper from the Android platform. While Tiny Miner has somewhat better graphics, it is missing one huge key element: the saw. In this game, you cant buy a saw to go back and reclaim the ladders and supports to reuse in other parts of the ours like you can in GMDD. The prices for items in this game are too high. Another thing that makes us give this game a blah rating is the lack of ability to see the map without having to watch an ad. This game has promise, but it needs upgrading. Another thing: the game maker had not given any information to Apple about what they do with players information (as of this time). We find that a bit sus. Tiny Miner just cant hold our attention. The background music is annoying, to the point we had to turn it off. We will be deleting this game.
We played for over an hour and it shut down and we lost everything.
-once upgraded it upgrades should carry from game to game -Would be great to double tap up to place a ladder… -When your health is empty give an option to use medic kit instead of instant start over. – on a fall give option to use med kit. -upgradable health -add books to destroy boulders -add multiple save games so if you want to start another game you can have a few to choose From -add level difficulty.
There is some glitch that keep making us go back to our save point over and over again we keep losing all our progress it just pops up all of the sudden do u want to load from save point yes or no if we push no it goes to main menu screen if we push yes it goes to last save point it just pops up every 5 seconds to 5 minutes over and over again this need to be fixed cause we really like the game please.
We have purchased the ad free version (more than once!) and we still get ad flags in the upper left hand corner, which we find very distracting. Also, when we download the game on a new device (under the same account) we dont get credit for the prior ad free purchase, which we have done at least three times! We just want a relaxing game that is ad free and not trying to constantly trick us into buying something.
We really like this game! We played for hours and decided to make a purchase for credits. The game crashed immediately after confirmation of the purchase and we wasnt able to save the game with the credits to our account. We still got charged but cant access our purchased credits. We will update our review once the developer fixes this issue.
Bought $2.99 package, payment confirmed… Game crashed we didnt get the 30k or ads removed and we lost the coins we had just sat and watched videos for.
All we would love is more stuff. Build a town Endless mining we ran out of stuff to do.
We have enjoyed playing this game for several years. Its simple and fun.
Its an awesome game no bad reviews.
App needs to be finished updating, like the coming soon pick upgrades to the tent and shop upgrades, it would also be nice to have a more realistic feel to it like food bars instead of just energy bars maybe a night and day cycle or seasons maybe.
Cool fun app just doing this for money.
You guys should put buttons tor ladder and the other inventory. That way if a ladder is required people can just push the button instead of going to the backpack and pushing use.
Problems : so we just started the game we play for an 1hr or 2hrs and we accidentally hit the menu button without saving and we cried and loss all the progress please make it auto save at a certain point while playing Positive : this is the positive section of the review great game.
This game is fun and we can play for hours. However, ive only had the game for a few days and we already reached the bottom. We were pretty bummed to not find any large gem as a reward for getting that far. All of the gems at the very bottom are the same as when you get to the middle. Kinda boring. There should be a larger variety of gems and it would be cool if there were beacons and elevators like in Pocket Miner on Android.
Really good game but the only problem is that the robots break we bought 6 robots and then after 10 seconds they broke.
Its a great game just wish you can pay to spawn n put a shop in the ours.
Great Game but we wish it played though out our screen we do have a XR so our display is big please update.
Good game but needs improvements on the controls and make an auto save because we exit out without saving almost every time we lost about $2500 from not saving. We can spend a good amount of time with this game 4 stars.
A Miner never goes to work without dynamite!!! Id like to see dynamite in this game.
Its a really good game but when you dig down the ladder falls which really annoys us and there should be a teleport machine the take you to the surface. In the end a good game with some minor issues but can be fixed easily.
Have to watch an ad to save or look at the map. Auto save works badly. Upgrades such as lifts are coming soon even though the last update was a year ago. Its a clone of a good game, though, and kind of fun.
Its been 1 year from the last update. It doesnt look like it will happen anytime soon. We did enjoy playing. We hope they update it soon.
There is no objective. What a waste of time.
