Way too many ads
This game would be fun if you didn’t have way too many ads and the drill runs hot every 5 ft and run out of gas ever 10ft and you have to watch a ad to add gas and if you don’t watch ad it starts you back over and then they have a ad when you start back over and they you can level up only if you have enough coins and if you don’t have enough coins you have to watch ad to double your coins from your las drill and on, and on, and on, and on.... like you have taking the fun out the game with all these ads and you have lost the attention of the people that would actually like the game!! Get rid of the ads is the first thing you need to do or NO ONE WILL DOWNLOAD THIS GAME!!! Just to drill 2k ft you have to watch 20+ ads to get there which is ridiculous!!! If you don’t fix this and I mean soon I will be deleting this game myself cause it’s not worth the energy and it’s a waste of time to keep going through this!!! SMH at some of y’all!!! It’s embarrassing how some of y’all think when it comes to these games on here!!!

Honest review of someone who usually never writes them
I seen this game on snap chat and it looked like it could be a fun game to play at work or when I’m in my off time. I downloaded it and holy cow at the ads! I am no stranger to the need to monetize your products and sense this is a free game they need to make a profit somewhere but come on guys. Ads would pop up in front of my game, not allowing me to play without clicking on it. That is not acceptable and honestly pushed me away from paying the $2.99 to get rid of the ads because it’s just so in your face. My advice is to do as other “free” games do. Every so often or when switching to another screen play an ad you can skip after 5,10,15 seconds. Don’t stop the person who took the time to download your game from playing it altogether in an egregious fashion. I felt like I was playing a game created by an eight year old trying to show me their crudely drawn art project. You guys can do better than this.

Leaves much to be desired.
This game was interesting for the first 60 or so levels, after that not so much. You only drill to the same depth and regardless of drill head or cooling you can only go 150 feet before the head overheats even if going very slow. Supposedly there are different areas you can go to and build a refinery but they have been locked since they were introduced and there is no guidance on how to unlock them. The only plus side is it doesn’t need to connect to the internet unless you need to watch ads to get more money for upgrades when you start. There is much to be desired but the development team doesn’t seem to be interested in adding stuff.

The absolute worst.
The sheer amount of ads is mind-boggling, this game was not designed to be entertaining it was designed to make the developers money plain and simple. Will crash while you’re watching ads or playing the game after you put a bunch of effort in and will not save your progress. Was running the drill last night, did a bunch of upgrades, return in the morning it says you still has the upgrades but it but the drill runs just like a level zero drill doesn’t make it past the drill into the ground. Developer needs it lessen the mount of ads and make it into an actual game instead of the trash that it is. Would’ve given it no stars if I could.

Could be better In More ways than one.
They should have a way to level up drill holes on the main map also a easy way to get back to the main map becaus so have to exit out and reload to get back in the main map. Also you should be able to upgrade the storage capacity of how much money is collected over time while idle or not in game. There needs to be ways to have the oil pumps on the main maps work automatically and there needs to be thing to save up for it gets very boring after day 10

So much potential
This game has so much potential. Average depth on a vertical ( depending on area) is 10k feet. Also the ability to drill horizontally through different zones would be awesome. Instead of drilling through those tiny rocks for coins, the layers themselves having different toughness would be better and more realistic. Also I noticed after reaching a certain level on the drill bit and cooler the diesel becomes irrelevant. The drill will punch through most anything and the challenge goes away.

It’s good, but it needs a lot of work...
The game is fun, especially in the beginning. But after that, the game is too easy. The fuel becomes unneeded since all of the wells/levels have virtually the same depth. At the same time, the cooling and drill upgrades quickly stop work and end up not changing anything. The levels need to be made longer the more wells you make and the upgrades need to be fixed.

Only lost 1 minute of my life
Fortunately, within 30 seconds of playing and already 2 ads later, the game started begging for reviews (as if that’s enough time to formulate a legitimate perspective on anything, but whatever). Still, it was able to quickly get me out of the app and over here, to give you your undeserved 1 star (I’d do 0 if I could, and even that’s too generous). I’m sure there’s a decent time-killing game there somewhere, but it’s not worth anyone’s time. Regardless, thank you for being a stain on the industry.

Needs updating and progression
A decent simulator but needs some attention. At the moment it seems each refinery location has a max of $10 and each oil pump only produces $1/min no matter how many wells you complete. Also once i upgraded the depth and fuel to level 45 i havent had to increase wither of them to reach an oil well. The only thing ive needed to upgrade is the cooling. Lastly, ive reached the third location, greenland, and the remainder of locked locations dont have an unlock amount under any of them.

Terrible
I literally played the game for 10 seconds before the first ad came on. After the ad the game let you start over and every time you run out of gas you have to watch another ad and then you start over again and you slowly save up money through this way to eventually do something I’m assuming. There’s no menu bars there’s no options to pay to get away from the ads there’s nothing all you can do is start the game run your drill until you run out of gas, watch an add and then do it again over and over.

Drill Baby Drill
Pretty fun game. Would be cool to have horizontal drilling as an option. Different prizes for depths reached. Strategy is a must so far but I have a feeling as I get further into the game it’ll be too easy since everything will be upgraded to the max and then there isn’t a challenge. Still fun though.

Do you like ads on your games, this will be the game for you
Have you ever wanted to play a game where you spend more time in the game watching ads then you do actually playing the game, this is the game for you. Who would ever want to play the exciting game play of holding you finger down for extended periods of time while doing nothing when you could just watch ads. You tap on anything it gives you an ad you want to upgrade something, ad, you just finished digging, ad. I love ads and this is my favorite game ever

Unbalanced
Was fun at first incrementally upgrading each thing. But after going from 115 cooling up to 200(in a single stage, dumping over 100k), and realizing it only allowed me to go 1 full drill length lower before overheating, made me realize the games severely unbalanced and has bad diminishing returns after level 100 cooling. Meanwhile I’m sitting at only level 39 fuel and it only takes roughly half to drill all the way. This kinda killed it for me since I sat through roughly 5 minutes of ads to get that much.

This is just a fancy do-nothing machine
No skill required, this game is just one big advertisement. Run out of gas? Watch an ad. Break a drill bit? Watch an ad. Want to triple your profit? Watch an ad. Want to get rid of ads? Pay some money and there are still ads if you want an upgrade. This game would be cool if there was a sweet spot between overheating the drill and continuing to drill but there isn’t. Just drill until it’s almost over heated, then let it cool off. Repeat.

Yo many Ad’s and To high difficulty
After watching my 200+ ad and Still can’t progress past Day 2 (level 2) I have spent over 4 hours to be Stuck in the same Spot with more Ad’s watched for little reward. Equipment upgraded Beyond Level 50 and Still have breakdown or run out of Fuel long before completing the level. Thought this would be relaxing, but it’s a major Time sync with Very little in the way of progressional Success.

Fun but needs more than 3 levels
Getting started with the upgrades is fun. But there is a point when the upgrade isn't doing anything. I’m day 45, and drill, cooler, and fuel are 100+ each. It’s not challenging. I would also like to know how to unlock the other areas on the map. I have drilled all 10 spots on the same 3 areas twice. How do we advance? Thank you for reading. ~E

Ads, Game mechanics
The ads break the game can’t exit them can’t get rid of them can’t even watch them. Would be cool if there was more to it although to be fair I just started playing it the ads don’t really let me play it though have to close the app in order to fix it. Overall could be better you have something here though just a shame to let it go hope y’all fix it

Waste of time
First level wasn’t bad, but then you go to the second and figure out each level is resetting the game, but keeping the high upgrade costs. Second level starts out by letting you win $70 per drill. Upgrades are still extremely high. Gas was $960 for me to be able to drill a little further. Winning $70 each time takes a really long time to get to $960 unless you want to watch ads for free upgrades. Not worth the time in the end.

Do you like adds?
If you like adds this is a great way to watch it. The game itself isn’t bad but highly repetitive and the upgrades don’t mean anything after a certain level however in between each attempt whether you fail or not there is an add. Then there’s adds if you want to make your money for the upgrades. Don’t even bother with this game.

Has potential
It has potential and it’s fun for a little bit. Once you upgrade so far it doesn’t do anything. The bits don’t get any better no matter how much you upgrade. Still can only drill 325’-350’ before it gets too hot. It’s been this way for the last 100 upgrades. It’s pointless to play if the money you make doesn’t do anything. Only 3 properties to buy and nothing else is unlocked. It would be nice if oil storage could be upgraded.

Still broken
After day 100 you need about 200 drill and over 900 cooling with 90 fuel and ever level after that you have to put about 15 levels in cooling if not more per day. So unbalanced and underdeveloped. They keep changing the overtime generators, which is highly needed to play this game to reach that level. Is game could be great if it had a high school level education working on it. There are so many flaws with this game. Ads, ads boosters, home button

Once you advance so far it's all the same.. Make it deeper drilling, ability to change to whatever bit we want to use, make us have to keep upgrading, it's the same darn thing every map area.... You can keep upgrading but nothing really changes, once fuels upgraded a bit it's basically irrelevant

Ads Galore
I understand the freemium games require ads to pull in revenue but having ads constantly trigger while just looking through options makes the game incredibly irritating to play. I literally get ads while I’m in the middle of drilling without any prompt asking if I’d like to open it forcing me to start over. You could go idle and not even interact with the game and have full screen ads take over.

Boring
There’s no skill involved. There’s nothing you can do in the game except “pull a lever.” You can’t steer the drill, you can’t pick where you want to drill, everything is a predetermined path. The only thing you can “choose” is which upgrades you want to buy. There’s 3 choices each time you can level. There are so many ads too. You still for a couple seconds and every 1-3 drill attempts you have to watch an ad.

Too many ads
Not exactly sure what’s going on here but there is 5 seconds worth of game time per 30 second ad. 5 literal seconds. I was drilling and half way down there was an ad. There are ads overlay and ads across the bottom of the screen. All mandatory ads if you want to play the game. It’s not a game at all, it’s a scam. They should be shot, killed and left dead on the street. 🤷🏽‍♂️

Games seems pretty straight forward. But the first stage I can’t more more than 10 coins. No way to upgrade it no matter how many wells I have drilled. And then the watch ads for bonuses do not work. Whether on WiFi or cellular it never lets me watch it for monetary bonus. It’s always grayed out

Drill bit becomes same thing every time.
I agree with the irrelevancy on the drill bits I’m on Day 23 or so and even though I have thrown a lot of money at improving the drill bits they all look and perform the same as if it was taking the money for an upgrade and giving you the same thing every time. The game also won’t let me watch ads to increase my payout.

Ad is block screen with no way of exiting off.
After 30 sec the Ad that pops up is stuck blocking screen . No way to Exit out , trade clicking on it . On or around it . Seemed like it had potential but missed severely ! I give up trying to get the Ad off screen. I get ads are a part of it but if there’s not x to pick and going in don’t remove it’s kind of the end of the road 30 sec in! 👎🏻

No sound / Contains The WORST ads
I can’t get any type of sound from the game which takes away from the gameplay. I’ve tried restarting the game and my phone. Maybe worse than that is you have to watch an ad before every single try... which normally I could deal with but they’re “gardenscape” and “homescape” ads which are so annoying I would rather gouge my own eyes and ears out than watch

Unplayable due to the ads
After every play, you have to watch a 30 second ad. After upgrading each stat once you have to watch a 30 second ad to upgrade again. It took 5 minutes of ad time just to upgrade my first time attempt at paying again. Starting play again I had watch another ad. Running out of fuel I was prompted to watch an ad. It’s an absolute plague.

I paid the money to get rid of the add unknowingly removing the ability to watch add for the coin bonus’s or for more fuel. I’ve played many games that either automatically let you have the bonus because you’ve spent the money or let you watch the adds as annoying as that is. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED AND ILL ADJUST MY STARS

It could be an amazing time killer. The last upgrade let’s you upgrade the cooler. Problem now is the only way to upgrade the bit, cooler, and fuel is to run out of gas, or overheat the drill bit. Need a menu button so you can access these upgrades.

This is the only game on my phone that does not connect to the internet, on or off wifi, I have tried turning data off and back on for the game, restarting my phone, re-downloading the game, and nothing will make internet work which I assume is why I have yet to see any oil pump feature?

So first off get ready for a ton of add if you want to keep drilling. 10 seconds of drilling followed by 30-40 add. Beat a level....? Great now you have to fail in order to upgrade the drill.

More time watching ads than playing
This could possibly be a fun game. Hard to really know because you spend more time watching ads than playing the actual game. After every single interaction there is a pause for a 30 second ad. Don’t waste your time.
