Diggy's Adventure Quest

I have been playing this game for years & absolutely loved it. Not so much recently, it is becoming highly obvious the designers are getting greedy & just want to force players to spend money to be able to play the game. The introduction of the pet, while a cute concept is making game play impossible. Not only is the pet an annoying distraction while navigating the boards it barely has any energy, which only refill every 4-6 hrs depending on which pet you use. The amount of energy given is minute (33) for what is expected (100s) to be used to get through each board. Leaving the player to have to purchase more energy using gems, and a lot of them, you spend over 100 gems & can’t get more than a 30 energy level, which then means the player would have to spend money on more gems. So only option left is to wait hours upon hours till the pets energy refills, just to be able to play for a couple mins, making it highly unlikely you will be able to complete the quests before they expire. It is ruining the game for me, I have already spent money to not have ads, as well as on energy bundles for Diggy. Now this dumb pet comes along that we are being forced to use. You need to REMOVE THE PET or allow it to gain energy like Diggy. If you don’t fix it I’m pretty sure you’re going to lose players based on other recent reviews, there are many people who hate the pet.

I’ve been playing this game for many years, currently working my way through mars. Today, some idiot decided they were going to introduce random ads that don’t give any reward. Then, they offer to stop these random ads forever if you make a purchase. Well, I don’t like being blackmailed into spending money on a game. If they don’t rethink this poorly thought out plan to force people to spend money, I will abandon this game and they will lose all the ad revenue from the ads that serve a purpose and provide rewards. It’s bad enough there are blocks that cost 320,000 energy to collect on mars. This will be the final straw to make me delete this game. I will wait a few days to see if they change their tune, but if they refuse to drop this I’ll advised scheme, then I will be done with this game. Edit: No, these new ads are not optional and they don’t give anything. It demands you make a purchase to make them stop. When I run out of energy and tap to go back to the camp to make sure it saves my progress, an ad pops up. There is no reward and it can’t be skipped. This practice is so incredibly greedy and anti-consumer it’s unbelievable that anyone thought it was a good idea. I’ll watch ads to receive rewards, but this is just nothing but greed. The fact that the person who responded to my review talked like they didn’t know what I was talking about says a lot about communication within the company.

This game is 5 stars!! I wish I could give it more! Yes it is an energy based game and I see a lot of reviews that are complaining that you get to a point where it takes too much energy and you HAVE to pay. They are lying, those people don’t know how to set up their game. I have been playing for 5+ years, I started back when it was only on Facebook and have restarted since then. It does reach a point where it seems like you don’t have enough energy but they have spots in the game where you can ‘farm’ for everything you need without having to pay for it. You cook your food and build you own materials and clear out spaces in your camp to customize how fast your energy replenished and how much you can have. It’s going to take time to get it set up right but once you get over that hump it is smooth digging. My energy regen is over 5000 per hour and that’s a ton. This game is perfect for people who can play 2 or 3 times a day so you can let your energy build in between. The actual gameplay is great!!! They have puzzles and mazes and one main story line, a side story line, and there is almost always a special story going on for holidays or special events. 100% download this game!!!!
