TTDR; the game is full of an insufferable amount of ads to the point the game isn’t even worth your sanity to play.

The game itself isn’t that bad, but the amount of ads FAR outweighs any game play. As soon as you open MergeandDig , there’s an ad. As soon as you start the game, there’s an ad. You look up from your phone, there’s an ad. You take a moment to breathe, there’s an ad. You take a second to blink, there’s an ad. You finish one level, there’s an ad. You go to the next level, there’s an ad. I’m not even exaggerating, this is literally what it’s like to play this game. The ads are incredibly invasive like a virus or a bug. On top of all that, they aren’t simple ads you can just ‘X’ out of. You have to wait to skip the ad, and it takes you to MergeandDig Store. Then you go back to the game then close MergeandDig Store portion, and it takes you to MergeandDig Store. Then you have to wait again to close the ad, and it takes you to MergeandDig Store. Then you hit the ‘X’ in the top hand corner, and can you guess what happens next? It takes you to MergeandDig Store.
Incredibly ridiculous. I understand ad revenue, but this is pure insanity and a bit much.

by GpaLox

Ads can’t be gotten rid of fully - only the forced ads after every round. You can rank up your tool level that you can buy by buying a certain number of tools - this number increases exponentially in time sink costs. At level 7, it would take 16,384 of them to merge to level 22, which I have five of - yet it takes 150!!! games without watching ads to get to the purchasing power necessary to do so. So you have to use the low level (yellow, worthless) boxes or high level (purple) boxes to rank up more. At game level 380ish I’m stagnating. This game is unbalanced, forces you to watch ads to play or pay money to, and even then you still have to watch ads to get higher level pieces to progress…

TL;DR? A waste of time and money. Don’t even bother downloading it.

“Hi there MystressXOXO, We're sorry you're experiencing this. We take our players' opinions very seriously. Our team is working hard on fixing this issue and it should be fixed in the next update. Best, Merge Miners team” posted in March.

THREE months later and the max pickaxe level is still 41. The only update that I noticed a change for was you adding hero tools, which helps… nothing, my board is still full of level 41 pickaxes with no way of any more progression. If you really do take your players’ opinions very seriously, read any of the reviews on here and add more pickaxe levels instead of a brand new item that helps none of your dedicated (or was once dedicated) players. And while you add more levels to the pickaxes, maybe increase the difficulty of the levels as you progress.

I would rate 4 stars but I got hard locked early on

by ZennieTheFern

It’s just a ad miner

by Tjt3.1415

They have way to many adds

by Skinmann01

You have three options. 1. Watch ads longer than you actually play. 2. Pay to remove ads (decide if it’s worth their asking price, basic game not much to it). Or, 3. Decide neither are options for you and don’t play. (I picked the last one. It’s not a good enough game to pay their asking price).

by Megantron1412

This is one of those games that after you get to a certain point, you will get an ad after every level completed.

I really don’t mind some ads in games, but this makes the game virtually unplayable when there is one after every single level. Especially when there is an option to watch an ad to get more rewards. If I click “No Thanks” I still get an ad AND I don’t get rewards so now you’re just punishing the player.

If there was an ad after every 5 or so levels would be better but for now, I’ll be uninstalling.

by Onejasonforsale

No option to disable ads, getting to next level requires an ad every single time.

by JosiahMerritt1

They added ads and make the levels WAY harder making it so the time I spent playing is now wasted.. I can’t even complete the love I’m currently on after the update…

So sad you sold out thought it was a great game while it lasted

by LittleBoyBlu14

I’ve been playing this game for over a year now. I purchased the removal of ads because I hate getting pop ups and the amount of ads are unbearable. There’s an ad after every single level and several on the Home Screen at all times. It was definitely worth it at first but I suddenly opened MergeandDig today and I now have to purchase ad removal AGAIN. Why?!? There’s no restore purchases function on MergeandDig either. Money you spend disappears. It’s bad enough that I have to buy 8,000 level 10 pickaxes before it upgrades to level 11 (which takes hours that frankly just aren’t worth it). Also the “league rank system” is bogus. I am ALSO number 1 and have been for almost a year. I am on stage 2762 with my highest level digger being level 52. They finally updated it so that it didn’t cap out at 41 anymore so props to the team for that!

by Qwertuaiodnjsj

I watch every single ad opportunity to level up my diggers, but they are still completely useless if I’m getting yellow boxes. They are supposed to be “prizes” but you have a high chance of getting the lowest level of diggers possible (this is from the one you get from gold coins).

This means you need to buy lots of gold coins to level up the digger you get with gold, but you need to get more and more diggers to level it up each time. The amount of gold you get isn’t comparable to the amount you need to level up your diggers to the correct level. I feel like the devs didn’t take into account that making it difficult to level up the diggers with gold stunts players from being able to play properly in the latter levels

by ChickenNuggetMan65

I enjoy the game but it’s that I he game has sooo many ads n it makes it not that enjoyable ion if that’s just me

by AkonixApple

Great and addictive game, but to many ads

by Flyawayfromzayn

enjoyed the game up until the update, and the update isn’t all bad. i enjoy the delete feature, and changing the look of a few levels of tools would take some getting used to, but it’s not horrible, but, the tools won’t merge past the level i can buy, and there’s no explanation on that, some of the tools in the shop are mislabeled, leading to the purchase of the wrong level. as well, in the shop, all of the tools now cost the same, when you buy one level of tool, all levels raise in price.

by IMrReMember

I cant pass a level no matter what combination of pickaxes i use. i made the mistake of combining to max and a hard level popped up that requires 2 chests. Im hitting one chest but since it’s impossible for me to hit two it doesnt open. Im not earning enough gold to buy a pickaxe. Even if i grind for hours to get one more pick id have to do it 30 more times and each time would take longer.

I uninstalled and reinstalled hoping it would fix something but instead it started me from the beginning.

by AppDownReview

I really love this game but the ADS. You can’t even breathe without an ad. Every level there is an ad. Every time you pick your finger off the screen there is an ad. The worst part is they can range to 10 seconds long to a minute long. The game idea is really good but as I said, the ads. I did push through the game and in total I played the game for 6 hours and 46 minutes before I beat it (that being having 25 max level, 40 pickaxes.) 4- 5 hours and some change were spent watching ads. The rest were spent PLAYING the game. I would love this game more if the developers added less ads and more levels to the pickaxes? Currently I have 25 of the max level ones and I have nothing to do in the game now. Kinda boring, if you wanna spend 4 hours watching ads to play this game, GO FOR IT, but if you get frustrated with ads all the time, don’t waste your time downloading MergeandDig.

by Aderight

It is a fun little game that is enjoyable enough while it lasts. But it becomes very tedious due to limiting mechanics before long. And it doesn’t take that long, after a while of exceedingly annoying grinding, to fill your grid with all lvl 41s, at which point the game has little more to offer than waiting for another week to pass to be able to top the next tier leaderboard with ease. The game needs improvements.

Also, if you read a review that says no ads: that is a lie. You have to purchase the ad removal. And the. There are literally ads that appear in the game board, taking up a useable space, trying to get you to watch an ad. Super annoying when it is one of only a couple open spots.

by Koledad

if you have airplane mode on you won’t get any ads. i’ve binged this game for about 12 hours. i’m on level 191 and it goes by fast! it’s simple, enjoyable, you can use your gained bricks to build towers, and purchase pickaxes with your money. now it gets boring pretty fast. you can only build 4 towers from what i’ve seen and i have 119k bricks with no use. when you buy pickaxes after a couple hundred they upgrade (buy 100 level 1 and it turns into level 2 pickaxes), the problem is once you get to level 6 pickaxes it takes 800!!!!! you need to buy 800 and either trash them or merge them and it takes FOREVER. this game is a 3/5 with no sights to see if get much better. the game just goes on and on and on. it’s cool for about a day but nothing amazing or crazy

by 36ONoScop3

It’s a solid fun game to waste time. Play it anytime of the day and get your mind of things right? Wrong. It’s just ads. I played this game so much but the ads were so unbearable I had to time it. 33 seconds to get an ad. I had decent levels but every two levels (which takes me about 14-17 seconds) I got an ad. If you don’t like ads and you’re reading this, trust me it’s not worth your time. For the people who want a fun no strategy game to get there mind off things and they don’t care about the ads, this games for you. I have no hatred towards the people who created and update this game, it’s the fact that every offline game has to have ads. But you can minimize the ads. You don’t have to make the players have ads every 30 to 40 seconds. This is my opinion but go try it yourself.

by Pickledbeans94

This game has a good foundation, and is surprisingly engaging for a game that primarily has merging items as its main focus. It runs into a couple issues though. Namely, even after paying to remove ads, you’re still repeatedly hounded by pop-ups trying to convince you to watch ads for rewards. These popups constantly appear over buttons you’re trying to tap, so you have to wait for them to disappear, as there’s no option to decline the offer. And they last for a long time. It’s incredibly frustrating. There’s also a fake leaderboard that pits you up against random names that attempt to look like real players you’re competing against. Why? I dunno. It’s just sort of weird, I’ve never seen that before. I guess it’s not necessarily a problem, it’s just strange. And the levels become extremely repetitive after a while, but since the main focus of the game is merging the items together to create new items, it’s not a fatal issue. The only fatal issue is the popups appearing over buttons you’re trying to use, like I mentioned before. There’s a lot to like about this game. I love earning the bricks, and then using them to build little structures, that’s extremely satisfying. I like merging the items, and the haptic feedback as the pickaxes smash through rocks and stuff. My only major criticism is the constant popups, if those were removed (or at least moved so they’re not covering up important things), this would be an easy 5 star app.

by AceVariable4017/Variouspoisons

The game is riddled with ads whether you choose to get a bonus or not, and even with those bonuses buying more costs way too much and becomes wasteful later on.
Ie: my highest lvl is 14 however Im buying lvl 3's but I can only buy one lvl 3 per level I clear even with "watching an ad" for a bonus (you'll have to watch an ad no matter what).
The amount of ads is honestly so bad that I left my phone on a table while watching TV, within 2 minutes 3-4 different ads went on automatically completely without playing and drained the battery. I've also had ads anywhere from 30 seconds all the way to 4 minutes!
If that stuff was fixed I'd say it'd definitely be a fun idle game, or good time waster.

by XxGabriela222xX

While playing the game I was able to fill the board with level 41 tools on world 1. I then tried to start maxing out world 2 but it wouldn’t allow me to hit travel and switch worlds. This then crashed my game and so I loaded it up again and it sent me to level 104 on world 1. I was around level 800 at the time before it sent me back but it still didn’t allow me to switch worlds. Every time I load MergeandDig now it restarts me to level 104. Since I already maxed out world 1 I have had nothing to do but try and stay in Champion League. It is a very fun game tho and very addictive. I play for over 20 hours before this glitch occurred and it still hasn’t been fixed.

by Ghostly_Duppys

I'v been playing this game for a while and ifs pretty fun my only real complaint is that my tools are now full and I can't get rid of any since I keep getting present boxes so it’d be nice to add a delete tool function

by ExiledBunny

This is a good time killer but once you hit a certain point you physically can’t progress in my case my game crashes when ever I complete a level and I don’t get money for it

by Person_57

MergeandDig closes after playing awhile and the tool level only goes up to 15 so after awhile there's no more space left for anymore tools and you're stuck. other than that, it's a pretty addicting game, i'm on level 232.

by Thepresence0

I Was Playing A Game Called Merge & Dig And I Got To k m b t
But Now There’s A Delete Glitch (I Broke Into the Q U S P O N D G H L I J N C X W Y Z Then aa) So Fix It 😊😈🤬😎😬

by Iamaperson1234567890

So, this game is the best of its kind, at least in my opinion. It has smooth animations, good content, and the perfect balance of prices to what you get. However, there’s way too many ads. I’m talking an ad every time all your shovels/pickaxes break and you lose the level, every time you win, and about half the time when you unlock a new item. It’s out of hand. I know you guys need the ads to make money, but either make them shorter, make less of them, or put in some purchases, like a 2x coin or pickaxe durability boost. Except for the ads, you guys did a really good job with the game.

Edit: Guys, don’t trust the other users, they HIGHLY exaggerate the number of ads. It’s only one every level, and one occasionally here and there. Also, what I find works with most mobile games to remove all ads, just turn on airplane mode and turn off your WiFi in the Settings app. It usually works for me. Anyways, have fun with the game!

by KZplays

The game is fun, simple, and enjoyable. The shovels reach a very high level I’m currently at 52 and haven’t been stopped. Overall this is a good game, However it has 2 major flaws. To trash shovels you can’t merge is in a terrible spot and has bugged when dragging and deleted shovels I wasn’t trying to trash. The game has a ranking system where you can progress through divisions and gain rewards every week based on where you place in your division. Unfortunately you do not always get the rewards you’re supposed to instead the next week will just start and you have nothing. If these two things were to be fixed it’d be a perfect game to kill time.

by Snailwizard

Love MergeandDig, so much fun! My only problem is buying the tools. After buying a certain amount of tools, it upgrades and you can buy the next level of tool. For instance if you buy 50 level 1 tools you can now buy level 2 tools.

My problem is that with every upgrade the amount of tools you have to buy to get to the next level doubles from the previous one. So right now I just bought 4618 level 9 shovels to upgrade to level 10, and now to get to level eleven I have to buy 8082 shovels.

I don’t have the time or money for that! And it wouldn’t be too bad, except that I keep getting a ton of low level tools from prizes and stuff and it clogs up my inventory so there’s no space for anything! And without being to easily upgrade to the next tool, it becomes a completely useless feature.

Don’t get me wrong, I love MergeandDig, and it’s really fun! It’s just this one feature is really annoying. Like I’m on level 42 tools right now, but I can only buy level 10 so it’s a huge gap and super inconvenient that I have to buy so many tools just to upgrade to the next level.

My suggestion if the developers see this is to max out the number of tools needed to upgrade at something like 1500 or 2000 so it’s hard but not impossible. Or add more inventory spaces. I only have 25 and I have level 42 tools so it’s hard to merge everything.

Anyways, thank you for making MergeandDig and I hope you all have a wonderful day!

by Vanilla99<3

I love this game, it is an easy game to help pass the time. The rules and goals are simple and easy to understand. My only critique would be that I cannot merge my tools past level 41 and after a while there are no more towns to build so I am left with a lot of building materials with nothing to use it on. I have reached level 2464 and I have two full rows of level 41 tools. I just wish I was able to merge these together to make stronger tools and to free up space for merging other tools (which is the part I like the most).
Also, a minor problem would be that every time I play the game I have to open settings to turn the sound off again, I wish it would stay off.

I love this game and it’s very fun but I rated it 4 stars because they are now lying I have had this game for weeks before they starting lying and thought it was pretty fun but then today I saw there is a fake robux scam ad for it and I can confirm you aren’t making robux from it if you want a good game don’t lie to people saying you will get free robux if they like it they like it and will play it but not everyone will like the game I ended up liking it but it just makes me mad that they are lying now. Here’s an update the fake robux thing isn’t even in the game but there is another scam btw this is only a few minutes after I posted the original one but now they have something saying play for cash and honestly it’s most likely a scam for them to make easy money and for people to download their other games but don’t believe any of this and there may be another update in the future.

by Clans Of Clashing

I have a fully maxxed out board and even maxxed the new hero weapons. The games is extremely fun but I am not making any progression as I’ve got millions of bricks and coins. The tool purchase option should also change because even though I have maxxed 41 tools I can only purchase level 8 tools. The price of the tools should increase and the amount of purchases needed should decrease dramatically. I would prefer it if I could use the gold I have to just one lump sum “pay to unlock next level” so I don’t have to waste my time buying 4000+ low level shovels just to repeat the process to unlock level 9 and so on and so forth until I reach level 41

by FaZe_Lemonst1ck

I’ve been playing for a few months, my entire board is full of level 41 tools with no progression being made besides the fact that I’m clearing the board every time and just going up the levels in which I’m at around level 3000. I’ve got like 300 million bricks and 5 million coins that are sitting with no purpose and I’ve got probably a thousand gifts sitting waiting to be opened. Even maxed out all the new hero tools. Gotta update the game and keep it fresh. Even adding tools up to level 50 would be great. Also I’m not sure if they know how to do a global ranking system. Every other “player” in the league besides me (and everyone respectively) is a bot and they’re score slowly goes up 1 point at a time so I’m finishing #1 in the top league as many other are every week. Other than that it’s a very addictive game with lots of potential.

by Classykatt

I like the game (currently at Level 820) but they should make some changes or add in a feature. So I’ve got 5 Rows, but having your tools at level 27 makes it difficult to go higher because the amount of merging you need to do. So you should be able to add another row or two for merging.

Also please change the amount of tools you can purchase. I’m currently able to buy Level 8 Tools at 250coins. However it takes 2639 purchases for me to be able to purchase Level 10. Please make the amount of times you need to buy a tool lower so we can upgrade that faster.

Because of having a row of Level 27 Tools on the bottom my next three rows are set up to move those tools to Level 28. Leaving me with sometimes only 5 free spots to buy my Level 8 tools. So let’s say. I need 2639 tools Divided by 5 (Open Slots) equals 538.

So I’d need to At least do this 500+ times for a tool that’s so far below my average it’s pointless to even try. Plus I’d need to spend 225 coins per tool. 225 X 2639 = 593,775 Coins to level that up.

It’s near impossible and a waste of time. I faint even imagine How many Level 9 tools I’ll need to buy next.

by Razzzb3rry

Overall, a nicely made mobile game. The game play is simple and repetitive which can be a bit or miss with these sort of things. For me it was a hit, I enjoy it as a simple pass time. For the reviews mentioning too many ads or relatively no ads: they are both incorrect. Ads pop up after a failed level or when continuing to the next level, more often than not. It’s a pretty even split on how easy the ads are to get out of, some more elaborate than others. It’s perfectly tolerable (personally) and I don’t mind the 10 or so second break. I think the addition of collecting bricks to build small houses is cute, but not necessary. It’s as close as you can get to fun with a simple made mobile game.

by MyGodisGoodnow

I absolutely Love this game to play while watching a video or something and I’m currently on level stupid 1000. It’s super addictive but not too much. I started a couple months ago and every problem I’ve had with it has been fixed in just about the best way possible. The animations look great, the balance is mostly great, and the merging is satisfying.

That said I have some issues.
once you finish the builds, which you can’t even go back and look at, The bricks serve no purpose. I have 1.5m bricks.
Now for the complaint just about everything review mentions… the ads. There are so many of them It’s unbearable to play with internet enabled. This game is great for watching videos to but you can’t do it on your phone unless you’re okay with it pausing every two seconds for an ad.

In conclusion. Play this game if you like the kind of game it is. Turn off your internet to play it if you want your sanity.

To the devs. Love you guys. the updates yall are releasing are great. Please add something else to do with the bricks though

by Idle Grinder

I think this is a recurring bug. After I complete a certain amount of levels, the game won’t progress me to the next level. I am on level 1484 by the way.

by Lancaster Gaming.ind

This game would be incredibly satisfying with audio

by Dr.Rhino

I really like this game. And I can tell I like it because I’m actually going to add a review. Something about watching all the tools drop is very addictive and mesmerizing. But the only issue I have with the game is how easy it is. Like once you get a lvl 10 tool in each column you basically win. They clear most everything and it automatically adds things to use in the next level. I used the same set up for like 85 levels and never had an issue. That shouldn’t happen. It takes all the fun out of it. Like why would I need to get new tools? The ones I have can finish any level.

by Mattrh2906

Great game overall with no ads and fun to play. Passes time very quickly and addictive. Only 2 complaints and that sometimes after getting to a certain point the game crashes and you need to reset MergeandDig a few times before it works again (I normally just take a break). At one point it also set me back 100 levels but it didn’t really matter because nothing changed progress wise besides the number of the level. Other problem is I’m not currently making money at the end of a level. This is just after the update so likely just a small glitch but something that should be fixed because the only income I can make is selling the gifts I received from the level

by TheEpicW

I’m level 899 and in the champion league, I have 3 40 level pickaxes that are very good, and I am writing a review to make the game better with ideas, 1: Add a inventory system because I am tired of using useless stuff just to get to the good stuff 2: Make it so you can buy your stuff with coins without actually spawning them in because i am still on the level 5 shovel even though I have 1.41m coins and a whole level 31+ setup 3: After you build all of the outposts bricks are useless I have 1.06m bricks but no use of them 4: When you beat a level (other than the bonus level) If you get all 5 chests make it so you get a extra 100 league points or whatever it is cause it is hard to get all 5 chests unless you actually play, That’s all for now.

by I Can’t Believe It

There’s something wrong with the game TO MANY ADDS!!!!!!!! Now when I mean to many adds I mean to many after every time I drop my things it gives me an add and sometimes when I just press the start button it gives me an add like🫡 but it is a good game don’t get me wrong I’ve been playing for awhile and I like that it is offline and I am not complaining to much about the adds because I play it when I am going on a long road-trip but it’s a fun and a real addictive game I always play it and grind for hours to get to #1 but I’m only in silver which is a rank and developers can you please add more structures to build otherwise u made an amazing game that many including myself love❤️

by ShenYangAloha

The game itself is very addictive and fun without a doubt. However, as I’ve progressed in the game, I’ve felt that the “buying pickaxe” button was not used. The pickaxes I get from completing levels out levels the ones I spawn in by a large margin. There’s also no quicker way of spending more gold so I’m stuck with 400mil gold not wanting to merge the level 8 pickaxes 2600 more times. I wish there’s a “spend x amount to unlock next level pickaxe” button or something similar. Overall though, game is amazing and very good.
