Enjoyable game and concept, the the further you go, the more evil it gets. I’m currently getting natural gas and gems but I’m making less money by getting those. It’s harder with more work but I’m making less money. How does that make sense? Also, the prices of everyone just randomly goes up for no reason, one day a worker costs 100. The next, 300. I’m all for increasing the difficulty, but when the rewards diminish with difficult, it’s not very rewarding.

I normally don’t write reviews but for this game I had to. This game is a decent game. However I haven’t played for long so no bugs have been found BUT the price for no ads is insane. $100 to never watch ads. I get the idea but I run through games like toilet paper. For people like me $100 is way too much, $20 is pushing it. If I were to pay that much for no ads there should be a bundle with a LOT of stuff that would help me progress. The amount of ads isn’t even bad unlike most games which I appreciate. Most of the time you don’t really need to watch an ad if you play smart. Which makes the pricing for no ads even more outrageous. My only complaint is the pricing. You’d get a lot more people to buy it if you lowered it AND made it a bundle. Thanks

Terrible game
Rebekka Craig
As with many free to play games, they incentivize you to watch ads or pay real money to increase success in playing. What makes this game terrible is you do not always get the promised benefit from watching the adds.An example of this is when you bid on a plot of land to mine. You compete against other players i a bidding war and in profits earned in that mining match. This means there is cause to acquire the land with the best output. They provide an ad-watching option that promises to point you to the best output land. I have discovered the more plots of oil provide better returns overall. In a bidding war, i watched the ad to identify the best plot and i spent 4x the normal cost to acquire the plot only to discover it was one of the lowest plots. This is an example of bad faith.

As someone who works in the oilfield I love the game, but I can’t play it. Most of the time I can’t get through a round without it freezing up on me. I have to close the app and restart. I definitely can’t have another app open in the background. Again, I’ll be in the middle of a round and the screen just freezes. Also, the screen is not lined up. If I build a well to far over, the price of oil box is over my well and I can’t update the drill. Also I have some patches of oil underground that are so far down that the boxes cover the oil and I can’t get to them. Love the idea of the game, just can’t get through a round most of the time.
