The game DOES have an end, but the updates, I can't keep up.
You can trade real money to Super Cash (that can be used for additional boosts)
The more mines you own, the more names and ore icons you see as you bask in your map, and you think to yourself: "Why did I do this?"
There are barriers in the mine that you have to wait for before destroying them.
You can skip the timer for barriers with Super Cash.
One example in this game is the mole that randomly shows up at the bottom right of your screen holding a currency. If you ignore it, it turns sad and digs down. If you do tap on it, it says you can get this amount of currency if you watch an ad. The button to decline says "Miss out" too.
They have multiple choices for purchasing their premium currency “Super Bucks”
This is the only social aspect of the game, if you invite someone and they join, you receive a bonus amount of premium currency, and a slight boost on your mines.
You invest time building up various mines and beating event mines and such, which makes it feel more valuable to you than someone else’s copy of the game.
The game will let you know that a bundle of “Boosts” and “Super Cash” and the like is on sale, and have a little timer telling you how soon the offer will be gone. Another offer always takes its place soon enough though.
