The Detonator Reviews

by Unholygay

Put in a good amount of time and wasn’t worth it. It was fun but once you reach certain depth and level you can do anything. Waited a month and it still says “coming soon” it took away how far I got and nothing has happened. Sick of it, suggest not wasting your time

by Vergil302

Made a purchase for ur starter pack which is listed at 7.99 and was instantly charged $30. If this is a in app issue I would like my money back or at least be giving a fair deal within the game.

There ads like ever min, you cant even progress with out an ad at one point. If you wana make it fun take away the ads except when you are buying power ups or getting extended bombs

by Big Mike Mack

This game is heavily loaded with forced ads. If you happen to use an ad blocker in any way or try to play offline, they use a full-screen overlay to keep you from playing.

by Savethekittenz

I thought it would be a fun app to play when i don’t have wifi connection, but the game pretends that it requires internet to work. Very disappointing

by Jevudhxb

Just dont play it, it requires ads 24/7 and if u have no internet it wont let u play at all. 0/10 waste of time from a potentially okay game.

by DOGMA…

Cant even play without disabling my vpn. Ontop of FORCING adds you cant skip. Crashes alot. If i could give a negative star i would.

by TCP_Tree

This game has ads galore, and purchasing the “no ads upgrade” does nothing to remove or even reduce the amount or timer of the ads. I feel scammed even though it was only a few dollars, but it’s still a very poor thing for them to advertise.

by Fatal Scythe Mina

I get you’re trying to make money to keep the game running but you have to realize that giving us adds every 5 seconds is gonna kill your amount of players which will kill this game either way. Find a balance, or just find a new job. This game is repetitive and boring either way.

by Gabriel Ajdjdjsjakaj

I just bought no ads to play the game and you still have to watch ads to do the stuff, they’re lying for you, don’t buy it.

by Dirtking123

I bought the Elite pack and the Standart Pack and I never received my items. Waste of money don’t buy anything from the item shop. The only thing that works will be the no ad. Overall the game is decent just don’t spend any money on the packs.

by Pfjkay

hope you go broke you dont need me watching ads🙏🙏🙏

by Rkqakeusbw

If you love ads you’d love the game

by Weatherman4029

App seems cool at first, but then you hit the never ending ads. I pushed through it, and turns out the game says (coming soon) after about 3000m deep. The ad said you could go to the core. This game is severely incomplete

by Overnite23

The game itself is a lot of fun, but when I get an ad after every run it just ruins the game. The other reviews that say there aren’t any ads are lying and probably left by the devs. The only way to get ad free is to pay for it and the game just isn’t worth paying money to play without ads.

by Forced To Write This Today

Only 3 worlds are available and only a limited area is playable. This game is simple and a great time waster until you reach those points and then there is nothing to do. Ads around every corner. You’d think with all those ads they’d have money to continue to update the game but NOPE. Time to delete and play something else

by Krlly9164

They made a game that is nowhere near finished. After a few days of playing if can’t upgrade anything anymore cause it says it’s maxed. No new upgrades and no new levels. Wasted 2 days and money paying for no ads to have nothing else to do with it.

by Dinkleberg08

I’m not one to write reviews as much but I felt I needed to with this game. Saw the game pop up on instagram so I thought I’d give it a try. Start of the game felt pretty good with the tutorial but once that was done you’re bombarded with ads every time you run out of bombs. Once you recall back to your base an ad always pops up. The ads in the upgrade shop are fine but when it comes to constantly being fed down your throat when you go back to base is just too much.

by BKJ93

I could see myself getting into this game, but I can’t play for 5 minutes without it freezing and crashing.
Really disappointed.

by Reece-_

Pretty decent game great time waster until you crash with a lot of cargo and time wasted from crash honestly would rate 5 stars if I didn’t crash every other time I want to select a different bomb.

by J Man1990

I like the game and it kills time but every 10min it freezes and I loose my progress if I haven’t responded back to the start.

by Mustangcoupe96

Game is fun I can’t stop playing it but there’s a limit you ready once you max out. I can’t go any farther than 1635 meters or my bot dies from pressure. Not 1 single ads wish is nice I just wish I could upgrade my bots hual Damage do we can go deeper

by Truthfully420

I downloaded base of the review of no ads after 3 resets of your bombs you get ads

by Couldve Been A Good Game

The game is fun and can be addictive. I understand the ads you have to make money but every time I return home to cash out is a bit excessive. One of the thing that this game would benefit from is removing the Air strike part the rewards are non existent and there no way to avoid them without force closing TheDetonator but as soon as I get back on and drop in it comes back. As of now I’ll be uninstalling I almost paid to remove the ads I’m glad I didn’t.

by Anthon_y123

The game overall is pretty fun, but I’ve experienced more bugs in this than any other mobile games I’ve played in my life. First off, once you collect the saw you can only use it for one run every 30 minutes. This alone is annoying but the fact that once it runs out and you try to change your bomb back to the original, all your buttons are gone. I usually have to restart TheDetonator 3-5 times for the buttons to even appear. Sometimes they don’t even appear and I have to wait 30 minutes to play the game again. Also when you destroy the first mine in a big area, I absolutely HATE how some parts that you’ve already destroyed just decide to come back just to get in your way of making it back down. Also don’t understand the max levels. Is there a way to remove the max to some things? Like for energy the game will give me the notification to upgrade it even when it’s maxed out. Overall the game is decent, but the bugs ruin any chance it has at being fun.

by Sonidda86

Let me preface this by saying I have already completed all the playable content in the game. This game is super promising and has great potential to be a good game. However, right now I think that there are some balancing issues with how cheap the bombs are. The game crashes a lot. And until they update it, there’s not that much to do. So overall, potentially a really good game right now may be a solid two hours of playtime and then it’s deleted.

by Mr.Unreliable88

Free version is unplayable. I bought the no ads and it became a blast. Hahaha. See what i did. However lack of updates: maps and expanding current maps is ridiculous. Even give is us the ability to reset a lvl to blow up stuff again.

by Silvershotaegis

I have downloaded this before and wanted to come back and play but it says it’s no longer available in the us store.

by Peter Wosnesko

The game can be satisfying at times but after a while its just like you beat the game and theres nothing else to do. The mines are not endless and the amount of bugs are insane. My bombs wont activate and will make me go back to the top and if i have my bombs deactivated the will still act as if i used one if i tap the screen. Its an alright game, could be cooler if i could do something else other than mine like upgrade my “ball” and fight other players. Its a senseless game for a senseless outcome of a ending.

by XBPS_Rocket

It’s a great game but it won’t let me restore from backup , restore my in app purchases and I had to delete TheDetonator to reinstall which lead to the first 2 problems

by BamaChop127

I bought the no ads and still get ads whats up with but other then that its good game really enjoyable

by Ss12900

I have been playing the game for about 3-4 days now and it’s fun, when I made an in app purchase it never gave me what I bought.

by Zernbog

Ok so first of all shocked not a single ad. The game is neat and so is the concept. It does start to get a bit redundant and the upgrades max out pretty quickly. Adding some hidden areas or something would be neat. There does appear to be some form of shifting or even earth quakes in the game that erase some of your tunnels or move them. The game however offers no description on almost everything and this makes it hard to know why things are happening. It is as stated casual game play. So far max depth is 1748. The Nuke will clear ground out lower however your bot will not descend any farther.

by THEREALLAB

Needs more levels.

by NitoTaquito2

I’ve only played for around five minutes but it’s pretty good so far. Wish there weren’t any ads though

by BlitzkriegRyan

Like the title, the game is very fun but does require a bit of grinding which I am not a fan of

by Djtaneum

The game is great for killing time, but when you turn off the explosion it still uses the “ammo” that’s the only thing that bothers me

by Sandrobot00

You should remove ads because it means other games are better than yours plus it makes your game boringw

by Daxter4392

Solid concept. Enjoying so far will probably buy the no ads at some point. Would love to see more destruction physics, maybe being able to add in enemy’s and you get some automation weapons.
This game also could lean into a rouge lite genre as well. But no worries devs, you already have a really cool game

by Dankdadfy420

The game is really fun,
But it’s been a while since we’ve had a map update. Any chance we can can a timeline?

by Typical_Gaming_Panda

There is a wonderful concept behind the game. I know a lot of hard work has been put into the game. Unfortunately, I have been at a point where I have reached the “coming soon” parts of the game. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for further map and bomb updates, as I really enjoy the concept.

by DAN THE 2

It’s a nice game, not one ad I’ve seen except there’s one problem. There’s not really anything to do once you get to a certain point of the game and when you hit max power at about 1750 meters you can’t go down any further sense you hit that max

by Yolmc

ITS IN BETA. END OF STORY

by Good But Ine Problem

this game has no ads and it’s so easy! i don’t even need to write a paragraph to explain how fun it is

by Unown0428

Game is amazing and best of all no ads because most good free mobile games are just ad simulators or a ad simulator with pay for no ads

by Clsdiesel

Full of adds not fun at all every 30 seconds there is an add

by Jacob_205

I’ve been waiting for months on a update I’ve gotten to the point that says coming soon every were and every part I’m waiting and nothing happenes I don’t like to have games in my phone if I’m not going to play so please update this game soon cmon 🤣

by Tommy678978999766

The game is fun and easy, but when you get the airstikes i think it’s too little time before another one occurs. I agree the game needs more secrets and upgrades, and depth too all the way down and to the other side of the earth, then add other planets. But there must be an easier way to get down to your previous mining location. But good game.

by Derelle3442

Had great time, looking forward to play more maps

by Deedae D

I’ve seen the other reviews and some old gameplay and I think maybe the game was pretty bad when it originally dropped. But since I’ve been playing which is today and yesterday it’s been great. Idk if it’s my adhd or somen but this game is really fun. The only bad part is it needs more content but other than that I love playing this. Even the ads aren’t that bad since ur getting a 95% gameplay and 5% ad ratio. I really hope the developers go far with this game.

by Lightobg

I feel satisfied!!!

by Paymemymoney1

i love this game but would like to see an update where you can go deeper in the earth. very cool idea

by Diddler69420

It’s good
