### 1/5 — No new content for years

*2026-06-22, version 1.21.0*

Last update was just to add tracking technology and labeled it as bug fixes. 

There’s been no new content in years.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-11-03, version 1.19.0*

I love this game a lot

### 5/5 — The one piece is real

*2025-07-03, version 1.17.0*

The one piece is real

### 1/5 — Echt jetzt?

*2025-03-18*

Ab dock 6 muss man jedes mal werbung schauen um es zu bauen auch wenn man das benötigte geld hat. Tägliche Mission wie folgt schaue 15 booster werbung an, schaue 13 andere werbungen an.... das sagt schon alles. Kanonenkugeln zu bekommen dauert ewigkeiten ohne die kann man keine kapitel spielen ohne das bekommt man keine bessere schiffe oder kapitäne. Das spiel besteht aus 80% werbung schauen oder man zahlt 20€ dafür.

### 1/5 — Garbage

*2024-12-30, version 1.16.0*

Cheap game with low thought process put into it. 2 hours of idle time unless you pay another democrat to set a draw welfare from people who actually work.

### 1/5 — Zeit im Spiel

*2024-10-16*

Leider funktioniert in dem Spiel garnichts. 2h 2x Multiplikator, der schon nach einer Stunde vorbei zu sein scheint. Dadurch gehen ordentlich Gewinne flöten insbesondere im Offline Modus

### 5/5 — Génial

*2024-10-02*

Pour se détendre

### 4/5 — Great game

*2024-08-06, version 1.12.0*

Really good game but I’m struggling on how to get captains.

### 5/5 — Awesome game

*2024-07-28, version 1.12.0*

It’s so fun and enjoyable

### 4/5 — Good but it takes a lot of time

*2024-06-13*

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
