« Have you ever wanted to sit back and play the digging minigame from Sinnoh's underground for about 2 hours? This is the game for you »👍 anonymous review · 3 h played1« Very cute little game, I played it before going to a funeral in the afternoon and it really cheered me up. I'd definitely play another game by Rat Monthly, if they make one. 11/10, 100% worth the money and time. »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played31« not too long, super lovely, engaging and rly fun if u like these types of games!! »👍 anonymous review · 7 h played1« One of my favorite games I've played this year. I received it as a birthday gift from my loves. It's a really simple, short incremental game and it scratched my "numbers go up" itch really wonderfully. I can't recommend it enough!! »👍 anonymous review · 7 h played11« this game is a beautiful waste of 2 hours. only drugs can give you this same type of wasted time you'd kill to experience again. play this game its cheaper then drugs. »👍 anonymous review · 2 h played1« Jeu à faire d'une traite (3h), très sympa, upgrade rapide et rebirth avec perks gourmand.

« Il est sympa au tout début, mais au bout de 30 minutes de jeu tu réalise qu'il n'y a que ça a faire dans le jeu. Creuser, creuser et encore creuser. Sans la moindre saveur, je vais creuser ailleurs ! »👎 anonymous review · 1 h played« Quelle jolie perte de temps pour 4$ »👎 anonymous review · 2 h played« Way too short. If I didn't afk for about an hour I would have been able to beat the game within the refund period. $3 for this is still too much. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« almost great, i don't know why the game ends when you get the one thing »👎 anonymous review · 4 h played« I tried to stretch it out, too short. Not bad for 1-2 hours, but kind of a waste of time. »👎 anonymous review · 3 h played« Très bon jeu, avec une ambiance toute douce ! court, mais agréable et satisfaisant <3 les musiques sont supers en plus :3 »👍 anonymous review · 6 h played
