Instead of not allowing the upgrade buttons to be pressed when you can't afford an upgrade, it takes you to the premium currency shop, and all the high cost items are on the side with the upgrades. Therefore, if you spam tap the upgrade buttons, you may accidentally try to make a $50 purchase or spend diamonds without knowing and without delay. Luckily, Android requires confirmation before purchasing. I find this sneaky and underhanded. Another review calls this predatory, and I agree.

Its decent enough to be considered relaxing, but this game has a leaderboard and a cash shop. A leaderboard only serves to take advantage of people who NEED to be at the top at any cost, shameful. The game looks nice, and you're not just handed upgrades, you need to earn them, which I appreciate. The first upgrade cost 50,000 coal, that's a lot. There are a few interactive elements, besides upgrading the drill, this makes it feel like more than just an Idle game. Good job.

Played until floor 5000 and I've gotten the second to last upgrade on all excavator parts. The roadblock I hit is massive and will probably require me to play for months just to get 500 more floors. It feels like the ingame scaling needs some attention, math-wise, and the game lacks an incentive to continue playing (I.e a form of reset/ascension to actually make progress feasible.) overall this *could* be a good idle game, but it's current state makes it a *game over* for me.
