### 1/5 — No monkey for 1st place in campaign

*2026-04-19*

How is it that I can come 1st in the weekly campaign yet not win the monkey???? This has happened multiple times and means there is no use in trying to win

### 1/5 — Why Does It Log You Out So Often

*2026-03-04*

It wouldn’t even be a problem if it was easier to sign back in. So many other negative reviews on here are people who straight up thought their save got erased.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that! If you need further help, please contact us at support@featherweightgames.com. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Супер

*2026-01-25*

Отличная игра, запускайте с VPN

### 4/5 — Very fun, but..

*2025-12-27*

I've been enjoying this game quite a bit and having a lot of fun but there is one issue I have with the game: Unlocking new captains.

Each captain costs 10 gems, and 10 gems costs $13 US dollars. It's important to mention that you can get new captains without paying by playing matches and getting good scores, however, after the first 5 captain unlocks the progression for the next captain unlock slows down dramatically. Even when I get a fantastic score it still hardly counts for the progression. It's not that 5 captains is too few, but when you consider the total of 23 captains it does make me wish for more. 

I completely understand that this is a small indie dev team, perhaps even one person, who needs to make a living. I get that. However, I think it's fairly reasonable to say $13 is too much for a single captain, especially when there's ADs after every in-game day of battles (which is 2-3 battles).

TLDR: Very fun, but expect low variety in captains (starting unit) unless you are willing to pay $13 for each (or less if you bulk buy). Still would recommend.

### 5/5 — Great game on the start of their pass

*2025-11-08*

Dear developers, game is truly great and I like it from the bottom of my heart, but there is few nuances. First load is very long, can you optimize it please and also when you skip battle sometimes there is problem that animation of giving you scores and move ship on scorebar waiting for around 3-5 sec, and sometimes after battle skip it doesn't count and it looks like new enemy ship created instead

### 1/5 — Игра не запускается

*2025-11-06*

Игра загружается на половину полоски, после чего не грузится. Памяти на телефоне достаточно, перезагрузка телефона и приложения результата не дает

### 1/5 — Tutorial ruined any interest in this game

*2025-09-15*

Tutorial made for preschoolers. Introduces literally one element at a time, training you like a lab rat to tap upon demand. Got to puzzle six before uninstalling. The level skip button is insultingly placed ONLY during battles and still requires tapping through selection processes that don’t even matter - if you don’t make the right choices, you fail. What’s the point of giving options if only one “correct” way matters?

Trash game, do not recommend.

### 2/5 — Lost Progress

*2025-06-21*

I was really enjoying the game but randomly got reset to start of game and lost all progress after completing a voyage. Hope the devs can fix it was fun!

### 2/5 — not a good pirate game

*2025-03-26*

its to be expected of an rng based game. would be better if it were turn based and u could aim or select ur targets. cannons are the most useless in this game. takes too long to sink ship and rng causes it to miss alot. if this was the only pirate game out there give it a shot, but its not. there are many other better pirate games and rng games to play. stick to those

### 4/5 — Chinese!!!! Please

*2025-02-07*

The gaming experience is great, but could you add a Chinese language option to the game?
