Community Insight:
Good time waster, not complex, good to play in your free time.
Fun but slow. Great for technical minds.
YOU WONT PUT THIS TAP HAPPY GAME DOWN.
Good game and we agree we wish you could use cat dollars to buy diamonds.
This game is fun to log into everyday and mess around with the ores and stuff.
Not much we do on the game but for some reason we keep coming back to play this game in our free time, it's the first app we look at before any other.
Pretty fun and doesn't take up too much of your time like other games but enough to do you won't get bored when you do want to play. Lol ours our kitties! Ours.
We love it However you should be able to use ur cat dollars to buy diamonds.
A good way to pass the time. Also, cats: what else do we need to say? Most everyone loves cats.
We love playing this game it gives us time to do what needed while also geting our game time in.
This game its really great honestly we would recomend it to anyone it really great.
We haven't played it for very long, but it's a good game to play when you're bored.
It's fun just wish you could do more when your wait for something to complete more side activities please.
Fun game. Just needs few more side activities for down time. Cant wait for updates.
Gotta be the best game on our phone.
Game play is simple, and doesn't require tons of interaction.
We were playing this game and we were like omg this is so good, so we like phoned our friend Becky and she was all "ya! Of course we play cat ours" and was like "yay!".
It's a great game, every 5 seconds we are getting on our phone to check our situation and get all our goodies.
One of the best games on our phone.
Unable to smelt the Mega Cutter. We have 20 Tin Wires in storage but it's not picking it up. Please fix.
You fell like a fool because of the cats but really fun and well put together.
Really good game. Fun and the times to wait are not really long. So you can play and upgrade multiple times a day.
We've been playing this game for two months now and even though the concept may seem cheesy or kiddish because of the cats it's a great game to get into. We're 21 and we recommend.
Adorable cat mining game, lots of fun and a good time waster.
Great time waster trying to get our cats tools but real fun.
Lots of fun greet for killing time.
It's a great game. We've been playing for half an hour and it's hard to put down! One tip, though: make construction different than making another ours. What's the purpose of the construction option.
Great game to pass time, kinda like a clicker.
Awesome game! You ours for minerals, to make equipment to get more minerals, for better equipment to ours even more minerals! The cats are super adorable! We'v never gotten bored of this game! If you like those games that are really fun but it never ends, than this is the game for you.
This game is fun from the first few minutes. It's engaging and super fun to play. We never have found ourselves frustrated with this game and we are SUPER PICKY when it comes to mobile games! We recommend this to anyone who wants a laid back experience or a game where if you spend more time in it, you can advance more quickly. Great gameplay, very fun to play, super enjoyable! 10+ star review.
As stated in the title, this game is super fun the waiting time does get longer at each level but nevertheless that part makes the game get harder. We recommend this game it is highly addictive and fun to play and challenge your friends to get to the next level. PLAY THIS GAME AND ALL ITS GLORY NOW.
We're fully upgraded and have over $200M but can't do anything with it! :(, money is useless after awhile… Make more upgrade options with money please; even buy tools or online interactive where we buy things from other people with money.
Certain parts of the game take too long too early in the game. If more ores are to be discovered as you go deeper then the earlier ores should not take half a day to a day to smelt.
This is an awesome game, however the only reason we gave it 4 stars is because it is very very slow to progress and make new tools and upgrades.
The hand drills are to hard to make.
U guys should make more ores like Cartoon Network Drillionaire.
This game has been great. We've gotten 4 of our coworkers addicted, and we all love it. The problems started when you updated to require items to be made so you could make the tools. But it wasn't that bad, but now you've added the storage limit. There's no real reason to put the storage limit except to try and push people to pay money to get gems. We personally had fun smelting tons of ores to have bricks sitting ready for us to use for our next wave of upgrades, but now you are pushing us to upgrading just to keep storage clear. Also we used to see probably one gem chest a day, and yea they didn't give us a lot of gems or anything, but they did help us out. Now though, we don't see any type of random chest.
Great game spend a lot of time just playing it but your new update that added a storage capacity to ingots is stupid would have been a 5 star but you kinda ruined it for us.
You keep making the game harder to try and receive money it's lame because a lot of people are super far ahead and with these updates it harder to catch up so we're done with this game.
This was quite fun played it on a daily basis but until the cap on storage ! Yes thank you for ruining the game for us. We suggest get rid of that on the next update.
It only needs more instructions.
Tho we think when you upgrade there should be some physical change.
We love this game. It's a great way to kill some time. You need to make it easier to get work permits though.
We find this game to be very addicting. Helps pass the time. Doesn't really take to long to upgrade stuff.
This is a great game, we love playing it. The only problem is that the waiting time for the smelting of objects is too long.
Absolutely love the game but it needs better support … Also maybe some more info in the game itself and maybe it's just us but the game game has glitches … Like our extra friend bonus doesn't work. But everything else is nice and the prates are cool as well…. So great job so far…. Good enough that we wanted to leave a review!! . Also game doesn't save progress when switching devices.
Was a good game until the update,then it crashed and we lost everything.
Game was really fun and addicting at first but, after getting to the depth of 11m we have our drill maxed out. That's cool but it doesn't go anywhere, been on 11.01 for 4 days?!? How is that fun. Adjust the power of drill or give us more stuff to upgrade it. Game is boring now.
It was fun. But we dislike some of the updates like the blimp and using the bars to make the parts to upgrade. It just wastes more time waiting on it.
We will start off saying it isn't a game you NEED to spend money on to make progress. You can still make decent progress without it. It's fun. It doesn't take long to play. Good game to help pass the time.
