- Play fully offline: no internet required, no session limits, play anywhere at any time

For fans of cozy trading simulations, tycoon builders, and sandbox strategy games.
I'm enjoying the game, and I couldn't see an option to report bugs so this was the next best thing.Second time now selling tea leaves for some reason doesn't work. You can load up the sell, hit the green button but it basically cancels the trade. Have not found it with any other item yet. Buying still works
Developer Response
Thanks for the clear bug report, this is exactly the kind of detail that helps. A sale that gets cancelled after pressing the green button, with tea leaves in your case, is something we're looking into. If you can, send us the town name and roughly how much you were selling through the support contact on the store page. Glad you're enjoying the game otherwise. - AstralRide
Great game
KSAN111
Reminds me of Tradewinds. Only improvement would be making multiple different campaigns instead of just 1 with 5 simple objectives to win.
Developer Response
The Tradewinds comparison is a good one. Multiple campaigns is an interesting direction we'll keep in mind.
Finished it, loved it
Landed islands
Loved minmaxing my pathing early game and my company’s trades routes in the late game
Developer Response
Thank you! A player who minmaxes their routes from the first island to the final trade empire is exactly who we made this for. Congrats on seeing it through to the end, and happy skies! - AstralRide
Constantly losing progress
qod963
It’s a good game, but the “save and quit” function works intermittently. Very annoying after spending hours playing then having to repeat lengthy quests because progress was lost.
Developer Response
Sorry about that, losing hours of progress is the worst experience a game can offer. We're investigating save reliability, and details would genuinely help: could you email contact@astralride.com with your device, iOS version and when it happens (mid-quest, after closing the app...)? Thank you for the patience and the fair review. - AstralRide
• 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.
