Money money money

Not even 5 minutes into making decisions in the game, I got placed in a 45 minute timer countdown situation to either pay to keep playing with no ads/ no timers or just wait it out. I’ve neverrrr deleted a game so damn fast😭 cause how you already want money and I ain’t even get to experience what it’s like to even play the game yet? Boooo DO NOT download this…

What a joke.

It’s free for the first 15 minutes then it’s watch ad after ad or pay to go ad free. What an absolute joke. Deleting app right
now.

Updating now the developer wants to chime in. Again you post that the app is “FREE” and the only way past the ads or force to pay is to pay. Your math is not mathing.

Yo, cool

You’re good

Zero improvement-stay away

Dev response three years ago:
“Thanks for the detailed feedback! It's great to hear that the game starts off well, but we understand your concerns about the progression and monetization mechanics. We'll definitely consider your suggestions about earning in-game currency and the payment mechanics for employees and spaces. Balancing ads, gameplay, and optional purchases is a continuous process, and insights like yours are invaluable. We're here to create a fun game, not to frustrate players into spending. Thanks for helping us improve!”


Does not seem like the developer is interested in the feedback that users are giving. Ads after every decision. Tried 3 different ships and the cost are the same. Pirates that you always have to pay!? Really !? This is truly a cash grabbing scheme and the devs should really be ashamed. I laughed at the “We're here to create a fun game, not to frustrate players into spending” line.

Even the most recent developer responds is a carbon copy to others.

Sigh of relief

Animations are nice the graphic quality is favorable and the choice engine is great.

Cruise

Put Life on ‘CRUISE’ while joining new, lasting friends on the “VOYAGE-OF-ECSTASY”!!!

Diamond purchase

I bought 40 for $9.99 but it never gave me my diamonds. I exited the app. And went back in and nothing. I want the diamonds or my money back in full please. Thank you

Ads ads and more ads

Constant forced adds every 5 mins. Didn’t even make it past the point where it asks you to choose a ship before getting the first ad. Would avoid unless your happy sitting through 30second - 60 ads ever 5 mins.

No worth the download

Only download if you want to spend some money and are ok with having to wait 45+ minutes to play. You can watch adds to get past the 45 minute wait between tasks but you quickly run into a pay wall where you have to pay to advance.

Terrible

Adverts every 3 mins and just not very fun

Avoid

Lacks real game play and you are forced to spend real money to advance. I would avoid

Scam

You can’t win at all game it wants bunch of money for nothing such a scam I’m gonna ask for a refund or dispute

Over priced paid subscription and lying devs

I installed and give and after 15 minutes of game play I got an ad and I thought oh that is not bad if it gets annoying I just have to pay once to not have to deal with ads or timers then after minutes I run into a timer of 45 minutes and I would have to pay a reoccurring subscription to remove the ads and timers for like 10 dollars a week so not only did I install a game I can't play because the game locks you in the timer but the devs lied in a review of a one time purchase

Bait and Switch

While the gameplay was fun for the first 15 minutes it goes to a timed countdown to play more unless you pay a fee. Guess everyone has to get paid, but seems sneaky to do that to people.

Money

At least add a checkpoint or something some of us don’t want to restart a long story with no money at the end or ads for more money at least

Dull gameplay, forced payment

I figured I’d try their 7.99 play for one week without ads option. That came after a torrent of ads had already hit me in the first few minutes. Now I’m gridlocked because even after paying eight bucks for a WEEK of gameplay, I can’t advance without giving it more money just ten minutes after subscribing. I didn’t have enough cash on hand or gems to resolve the pirate crisis. Do NOT even bother downloading. I typically don’t write reviews and I give a lot of grace, but this is a low effort cash grab. You could code this with AI yourself and have more fun (which I suspect is what the developers did, vibe code a cruise tycoon)

Scam

You absolutely cannot keep playing the game if you don’t pay money for more fake money.

Wanted to love it but….

This app nickle and dimes you to death and you don’t feel like you can get far without emptying your bank account…

Trop cher

Il faut payer pour tout et même en payant nous ne pouvons pas accéder au niveau suivant. Dommage le jeu était une bonne idée. Espérons qu’une mise à jour est prévue pour arranger ce problème nous donner plus de sous et de diamants serait une bonne chose.

Response from developer

Chouchou 23, merci pour votre retour. Nous comprenons vos préoccupations concernant les coûts et l'accès aux niveaux. Nous avons récemment lancé un nouveau chapitre avec un équilibre différent et de nouvelles options. Si vous manquez d'argent, essayez d'autres chemins dans le jeu. Nous espérons que vous continuerez à explorer et à profiter de votre expérience !

To many ads and false advertising

Didn’t think this was a role playing game instead of a normal tycoon game.
