Community Insight:
Been playing almost 3 years daily and now since last update we cant even get it to open on our iPhone 14pro max. Shame.
Hi guys, we are tom this is the best pirate, idle game we ever played great job, developers, and crew very very sweet game a Hidden gem.
Seriously we are this game is amazing thanks game maker.
Ever wanted to be a pirate play this.
This game is literally just copy paste coding for every level and the last level has said more levels coming soon for 4 months now. Pathetic.
So far the game is great. No complaints although we just started playing. Seems to have more then just Idle game play so that is a plus.
We have been waiting what seems like a month for new levels we are maxed out please tell us youre going to create new levels soon.
Would love to make it no ads but that requires 14.99, no thanks. Offline idle time is only 2 hours, boost for 2x gold is only 30 min for 30 seconds of ads, otherwise your upgrade pace is snail like.
Been waiting for weeks for the update of more battles soon to come.
Amazing game other than we think it is to long to wait for the ships to come back.
Decent idle game havent come across any mandatory adds (which we hate) and the boosts from the optional adds are decent.
2 hours max offline gains, though there's an IAP to increase that time to a total of 4 hours. We find that rather humorous, since 4 hours offline is still pathetic for an idle game, and that's after the purchase.
Such a fun game. Love the ability to upgrade.
Nice game, just wish you could get captains with gems instead of money. Also, we do not see how to lvl them up past the initial 5 lvls.
Its a great game as far as idle games go we really do enjoy it. What we dont enjoy is that not only do we have to pay to open up docks (which is fine thats how idle games work) but we also have to watch a stupid 30 second video? Uh no we are not playing a game that forces you to watch ads just to build up your base. Its one thing if we can choose to watch a video for a boost or whatever but being forced to watch ads every time we upgrade our stuff is messed up.
Its a fun little game, we like how its less micromanaging than Idle Miner Tycoon but the 2 hour idle time is awful. Im fine with them charging for more time but allow some sort of system where we can increase it as free to players (Im not even free to play, but Im not buying everything they throw at us) even if we have to grind to do so.
We love the game. Just the right amount of investing and strategy, without demanding your attention. Thanks for offering the no-ads option. It makes the play more fluid. Look forward to events, perhaps.
Endgame balance is whacked. Ive logged in everyday for over 2 months and still dont have enough money to upgrade ships in order to win battles. The game is completely unplayable once you near the end. Requires way too much money to do anything.
Very fun idle game, but the expand base feature and explore seas functions dont seem to be built yet. One island only. Any updates? Very fun game regardless.
Once you start getting ships you get money and all but like, it takes sooooooooo long just to get to 1 trillion. Plus they make you pay 1 trillion for 1 dock and 5 trillion for the very next one.
It looks like they are trying to make some changes and that more content is down the pipeline. With that in mind, we have raised our rating to 3 stars and will adjust if we see more progress. Below is our original review and at the moment it still is accurate. The game gets really boring really fast. No events, nothing new, just check in click a few buttons and leave. For those tempted to quicken the process through the store, let us warn you, there is no point. Game play wont change.
We want to play this game so much we can barely finish this review.
We enjoy the initial portions of the game and it may be the idle game we have been looking for.
It popped up as soon as we wrote this review… Lol Too much ads for us we discovered this developer from idle miner, this game is fun but if we had the option to buy to remove adsI would sit here and play all day.
There are no sound effects for us, just music. So we have to rate it 3 stars. Also if you could speed past battles once you beat them that would be great.
1st few day can upgrade to a lot of new ships, you can get close to half way progression in few days if the type of ships is any guideline. Then it drops to almost no progression at all maybe 5 to 6 little upgrades for all ships combined every few hours. Where as in 1st half you were changing out whole ships in that time frame. We purchase the no ads and x4 income at the beginning. Without spending no idea how others will fair. Also there is some major maths issues. When you start getting large ship and some 2nd tier mid ship, you will notice that always the highest earning ship in its details shows greater income than your current global income and this is with 10+ ships. We sent support the mail with screenshot, they tell us the global income is for offline, but there is no online production? This is false. Also the offline and online production is the same you have x2 with ads and x4 with iap. Even the iap says the x4 is for offline and online production. We sent support another mail asking to explain and if the ship details show the x4 income from iap? We are sure it does not. As once the ads x2 boost is off ship details on production does not change. So why would our global income will be much lower than even 1 of our ships? At this point we believe something very shady is going on. With major upgrades able to be done and entire ships so fast, then almost a complete shutdown of progression seems to be a huge bait and switch.
The Game Is Very Fun! But we Don't Know How To Get Rid Of The Add Ships The Only Way Is To Watch The Add.
Sorry guys, you cant be an idle game if the gains stop at 2 hours. Thats pretty basic stuff.
