What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Idle Cave Miner is a relaxing, easy-to-learn idle game that players appreciate for its low-pressure gameplay and fun progression to check back on periodically. The main criticisms center on a slow progression pace with walls that can feel grindy, and frustration over some achievements being locked behind microtransactions. Players seem satisfied with it as a casual background game, though it may not appeal to those seeking faster-paced or fully unlockable content.
this game saved my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ life1 found this helpful
The crafting system is designed by sadists. You need 10 copper to make a bronze bar, but you need 5 bronze bars to make a pickaxe, but you need 3 pickaxes to upgrade your forge, but the forge needs coal which you can only get from the SECOND mine which you unlock after prestiging which RESETS EVERYTHING. It's like if a pyramid scheme and a spreadsheet had a baby and that baby was REALLY into Minecraft.
starts out well, but within about 30 min you have to set it and forget it . . . but there are limits to saved resources that feel like a hard wall unless you are obsessive.

Pretty decent, just another clicker game though
