Steam reviews

What players say

Players mostly recommend this short, relaxing mining clicker for its satisfying upgrades, but many find it too short and too grindy near the end.

Many players describe a relaxing, easy-to-pick-up mining loop: hover over rocks, spend resources on a large skill tree and new pickaxes, and watch the numbers climb. Players praise the colourful visuals, sound effects and music, and the steady progression that makes it easy to lose an hour or more. Many reviewers say it can be finished with all achievements in about four to six hours, which some see as good value on sale and others as too brief for the price. Some complain that progression slows sharply late on, that upgrades grow repetitive, that talents and artifacts feel underpowered, and that the passive Mine is rarely worth it. Some also say it demands active play rather than being a true idle game. Recent reviews are more mixed, with several calling it too short or repetitive at full price, while a few still enjoy it as background play.

Praised

  • Satisfying upgrade progression

    Players enjoy the large skill tree and new pickaxes, which give a clear, rewarding sense of growing power.

    Many players
  • Relaxing, easy to play

    Players like the simple cursor-based mining, which needs no click spamming and suits background play while watching media.

    Many players
  • Colourful visuals and sound

    Reviewers praise the bright animations, catchy soundtrack and satisfying sound effects that accompany each mining hit.

    Many players
  • Good length for the price

    Players say the game is fair value at a low price, completable in a few hours with all achievements.

    Many players

Criticised

  • Too short

    Reviewers say the game can be finished in about four to six hours, which feels too brief at full price.

    Many players
  • Grindy late game

    Players say progress slows sharply near the end, with upgrade costs rising so much that the gains feel small.

    Many players
  • Repetitive gameplay

    Reviewers say the core loop of hovering over rocks becomes monotonous, with few mechanics that change as you play.

    Some players
  • Weak talents and artifacts

    Players say several talents and artifacts feel underpowered or even slow progress, and the passive Mine is rarely worth its cost.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a short, low-stress clicker to play while watching shows or listening to music, and who enjoy upgrade trees, will get the most out of it.
Who should skip it
Players wanting a true idle game, deep mechanics or a longer experience at full price should skip it or wait for a sale.

Short vs. long playtime: Players with longer playtimes more often report the late-game slowdown and repetition, while those who finish it in a few hours mostly praise its length and pacing.
