| 2025-01-19 |  | | Nope, after 3 years of playing suddenly be forced to buy dollars that were more than my 3 most expensive ships were worth after all 3 being hijacked. Negotiating was always was easy but suddenly it's pay the price or lose them. Game used to be fun, but being forced to buy more dollars vs choosing to is getting old. |
| 2024-12-13 |  | | This game is awesome. I am addicted. I just wish, the option was available, that you could change the speeds anytime you want once your ship has already departed. I wish that the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal was available in the game. I don't know why the canals are not available, but I wish they were. Also, it would be neat if you could add your own ship photos of your ships. Also if you could set your ships to have multiple stops and pickups and departures. When you're not in the game. |
| 2024-12-06 |  | | I'm not a fan of the 2025 version. It's clunky and hard to navigate, still takes forever to grow your company, I had stopped playing during 2024 version, and I came back to a wiped account. No more company, so I am starting from scratch. Before, it was at least appealing to look at. Now, it's just a grid on the screen to make your selections. |
| 2024-10-03 |  | | I find the game interesting, and the game is engaging. But again, the inability to schedule ships and having to log in to have them run their routes is a deal breaker. The game also has a couple of things that aren't intuitive. i.e. when you buy a ship, the port of call seems random. I also didnt understand how to evaluate routes that aren't preselected by the game. Perhaps with more gameplay I would've figured it out, but it would be nice if the tutorial laid those things out better. |
| 2024-08-27 |  | | I've been playing this game for a month now, still having fun and coming back to manage my fleet. One issue, the game only works with wi-fi access, and doesn't work with mobile data, which is really annoying when I'm not at home for up to an entire day, which loses me a lot of money. This is the only reason I'm rating the game 3 stars. |
| 2024-08-17 |  | | Play the other three. This one is a terrible waste of time, constantly fighting fuel prices and drydocks. Great concept, but hot garbage. The other 3 are great and easy to calculate great ways to profit and grow. I've had nothing but a fuel battle for a month with this heap of miscalculated algorithms for maintaining ships. |
| 2024-07-17 |  | | The game is pretty fun if you can dedicate a few minutes a couple of times a day. The UI could use a little bit of work cut down on the number of menus to navigate. Hijack events usually results in dozens of errors for a single ship. Ads don't load properly, so I never get rewards. Keep up the good work. I enjoy the casual and cooperative gameplay. |
| 2024-07-08 |  | | Fun and entertaining / Update. I recently started playing again, and was upset that I found my account status had reset. Reached out to support and just logged in to see my original account process has been restored. Would be easier if there was an account backup option. But I am highly appreciative of them restoring my account, and will continue playing/buying do to it. Thank you! |
| 2024-06-29 |  | | It's a very fun game for those that like numbers. There are several problems: 1, the only way to raise your fuel capacity is through purchases or ads. A LOT of ads. You cannot grow your business past a certain point without raising your capacity, so this greatly limits the experience. 2, every time they update the game, the stuff they change works differently than it was stated to be. It becomes very frustrating. |
| 2024-06-20 |  | | Read the more recent reviews for actual input about the game. It has been updated and changed a lot from previous years. 3 stars because even on easy it's frustrating at times. Hard to grow money balance to buy more ships to keep progressing in the game. Between dealing with hijacked ships, ridiculous ship maintenance costs, and impossible fuel/CO2 costs and consumption, there's almost no money to keep going. Then employee salaries require constant attention to keep happy so you get more cargo. |
