Game is pretty fun I played for a few hours, but it’s very clunky and the controls don’t seem to work properly on Mac. Then I noticed it had downloaded also on my iPad so I checked to see if it shared the same save file, it started a new save file so I thought it didn’t. Then when I opened it again on my mac, my save file had been overwritten by the brand new one, so I think that’s it for me… cool aesthetic and cool game
Enjoyable game - recent update is mixed

Game is overall a lot of fun. Recent update improved the trade screen, which makes resource movements better. But also now has challenges with navigation when I just want to view what’s in a town. And holding on the screen to try to click the right place to see in the town now also carries the risk your ship is just going to start moving and waste your fuel, which is a limited resource. There’s no option to turn off this “improved” navigation feature. Very frustrating
Developer Response
Thanks for the detailed and fair review. You're right: viewing a town should never put your ship at risk of sailing off and burning fuel, and we're working on improvements to exactly that. Happy to hear the new trade screen is working well for you. Feedback this specific is genuinely useful, so thank you.
Nice game, gradually improving.

This game has been fun and atmospherically pleasing to me, but since the recent update I can't stand it. The new navigation control responds to clicks instantly, making it frustrating to just look around the map and compare islands. Maybe this is okay with a mouse, but not on a touchscreen. The new trade menu is efficient, but I liked seeing the item artwork and considering trades visually. It should be switchable.Edit 1: Thank you for the prompt response. I haven't uninstalled, and look forward to a future update that strikes the right balance on controls and display!Edit 2: Thank you, the map controls are much better now. I like being able to control the zoom. Still not sold on the trade screen, but it's playable again 👍
Developer Response
Thank you for taking the time to write this, and sorry the update changed the feel of the game for you. You're right that browsing the map on a touchscreen shouldn't be this delicate, and we're working on improvements to map navigation right now. Glad the new trade menu at least earns "efficient" from you. We hope a future update wins you back
Game is super fun! But current save bug exists

I saw another review that talked about a game save being lost. I just wanted to share my experience that I played a few hours today and tbh I was a bit lost on what to do but still found my way. Turns out, the game never triggered me talking to anyone but the first guy. I didn’t even have the main quest on my screen the whole first session I played. I imagine, like you said in another post, that the tutorial flag never turned off. So I don’t think it has anything to do with the connection to icloud, I think it’s because of that issue of the main story never progressing forward after talking to the first character in the beginning.
Developer Response
This is really useful context, thank you. You're right that the save loss others reported is likely tied to the tutorial flag not resetting rather than iCloud. We're looking into that progression issue specifically and hope to have it addressed soon.
• Merchants no longer refuse a sale when their shelves are full. Only their gold limits what they buy.
• Fixed a bug where an older cloud save could replace your latest progress. The newest save now always wins, whether it is on your device or in iCloud.
• Saves made while offline or signed out are uploaded automatically once Game Center is available again.
• Stability improvements.
