Issues go unsolved and reviews aren’t looked at or acknowledged. Good and fun game to play, but gets very difficult and boring later on. One issue I ran into is that I can’t pick up any contracts cause the game refuses to show me anything below 27,500 tons. Issues like this being fixed would make this an amazing game that I would 100% go back to. If you want to play for a short time, get it, but don’t get too attached as it has many issues that will never be fixed. ### 1/5 — Time limit *2024-11-03, version 1.9.0* This would be a great games but with the very short time limit on single player mode just not fun a complete waste of time. You spend time getting to know how to play. Then time getting it built and your times up. It’s a complete waste don’t waste your time with this game ### 4/5 — Good game but… *2024-09-22, version 1.9.0* This is a good game the only downside is that you are limited on how long you can play on both multiplayer and single player if the developers are reading this please remove the time limit on multiplayer ### 4/5 — There is a highly unfortunate bug. *2024-08-29, version 1.9.0* I’ve gotten so far in this game. This is a great game by the way. Dont get me wrong. But there is a highly infuriating bug I have discovered for the very first time. There are either no contracts available at majority of ports, the ports that DO have contracts have cargo that are too heavy for any of my ships. So far there is only one port that is still available but since I have 7 ships all the contracts will be taken before all of my ships get a contract. Then on top of that I will have to travel ALL the way back to that same port after the delivery is complete and just hope more contracts are available. I’m unwilling to start a new game and I’m also unwilling to keep playing until all the ports are back open like they should be. Developers if you actually see this PLEASE let me know you have. ### 3/5 — Jeu trop difficile *2024-08-20* Bon jeu,mais c’est difficile de gagner de l’argent rapidement,et pareil avec les diamants.sinon,je trouve la limite de temps beaucoup trop courte,je n’arrive même pas à avoir un pétrolier, et pour avoir plus de temps il faut payer et ça,je trouve que c’est déjà trop ### 2/5 — It’s Frustrating *2024-08-11* 1) The ship prices are too high for all the deductions and depreciations and other taxes/charges levied. 2) IT’s way too challenging to grow the company. 3) Every important feature involves paying and using credits. Without which you can’t grow much. Then what’s the use of playing this game? 4)I was surprised that the game suddenly tells me that I’ll have to “BUY EXTRA CREDITS” because I have “EXCEEDED THE PLAY TIME”. I mean is this a joke? It’s the first time I’ve heard something so stupid. This just ruins the fun of playing the game! 5) The game just doesn’t move forward in Single player mode until you’re glued to the screen! This is horrendous! ### 2/5 — Why. Just why. *2024-05-18, version 1.9.0* Add a feature where you can actually play for an infinite time. Im so disappointed how I spent so much progress on a game only for a time limit. Please remove the time limit. ### 2/5 — Fun at first *2024-03-27, version 1.9.0* So when you start this game you love it for maybe a week but then you will lose interest. This game has a time frame that doesn’t last very long and if you want to win you have to pay money and if you don’t pay money you will do really bad. I would like this game if there was no time frame ### 1/5 — Not wort your time *2024-03-19, version 1.9.0* It started out fine but it will only let you get so far. Then they want dollars to continue and if you don’t pay it shuts down and you can’t go any further. ### 1/5 — 게임을 1100원 주고 샀는데 *2024-01-03, version 1.9.0* 왜 무료플레이시간이 끝났다고 크레딧을 사라고하나요 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t wast your time *2026-05-01, version 1.9.0* Biggest rip off I have ever played this game sucks ### 1/5 — Nie polecam *2026-02-15, version 1.9.0* Nie polecam trzeba płacić za wszystko strata czasu ### 1/5 — A *2026-02-11, version 1.9.0* Limited after all you make ### 1/5 — Français *2026-01-03* Le jeux a l’air bien il manque le français ### 1/5 — No admin support! *2025-08-19, version 1.9.0* I enjoy this game, usually. Then there’s some stupid glitch, which ruins the entire game and nowhere to contact to fix the glitch. Spent a lot of time, just to be ruined by some glitch. Super annoying. ### 1/5 — Komme nicht ins Spiel *2025-07-14* Hab eine Weile gespielt und komme seit Tagen nicht mehr ins Spiel ,finde ich nicht in Ordnung,ich hoffe das sich dies bald ändert ### 1/5 — Abzocke *2025-03-21* Richtig geiles Spiel aber nach kurzer Zeit einfach man muss Geld zahlen um dann nur bis 2030 spielen zu können!! ### 1/5 — 時限つき *2025-02-04* 無課金では一定時間しかプレイできません。最初に明記してほしい ### 1/5 — 왜안 *2024-12-15, version 1.9.0* 들어가지냐 ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-11-15, version 1.9.0* Absolutely garbage business practice. Got a message that I can’t play anymore because I used my “playtime” and other players need a chance. I’m free to play, they can work like I did. Do not recommend this game to anyone. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Put the time in to start *2026-07-30, version 1.9.0* This game is great, but like anything In life hard-work will payoff as you go ### 5/5 — This game no bat *2025-08-25, version 1.9.0* The ships is same real but it more slow ### 5/5 — Really fun !! *2025-06-20, version 1.9.0* It’s really fun and will keep you entertained Though it needs cruise ships ### 5/5 — “SHIPTYCOON’’ *2025-05-01, version 1.9.0* “IT’S KEEP LOADING’’ ### 5/5 — 开发者你好，可以在中国区的应用商店上架吗？谢谢 *2025-04-05, version 1.9.0* 很好玩的游戏！我想支持你 付费订阅，可是我没有美国区账户的银行卡，不能付款。^_^ ### 5/5 — I have a few ideas to make this game better but overall it’s still a great game *2024-10-29, version 1.9.0* I think that this game is wonderful but if it has updates it would be even better like add more kinds of ships other than cargo like cruise ships, ocean liners, passenger ships and more and also maybe make it to where you can explore the ship while it’s sailing and also add custom ships and as you get more money over time you unlock bigger ships like super ships that can carry more, are more profitable, are more durable, and overall great and also add obstacles like icebergs and you can save your ship from it by turning it (PLEASE DONT MAKE IT RIGGED TO BE EXTREMELY HARD) and if you fail then the ship sinks and depending on how many people die is how much money you lose like for people below 10,000 would be -100 for each loss and for people above 10,000 would lose 1,000 dollars per loss and each person who would survive would be the opposite so people below 10,000 would gain 1000 for each survivor and for over 10,000 would gain 100 (it’s more for the people with less money cause they need it ._.) and also add where you can create your own liveries for your company and add a scrap option which would give you 3xs more money than selling the vessel and you can also make it to where if a war starts you can convert some of your liners to troop or hospital ships and you can create your own battleships and when the war ends you can sell,scrap,or keep the battleship for the next war these would make the game a lot better in my opinion and I think a lot of people will agree with me on this too so please add these or at least some of them I put a lot of thought into these ideas and I hope they get added someday ### 5/5 — Top spiele *2024-09-04* Es gibt so wenig von diese Spiele😊 ### 5/5 — Einfach top *2024-02-13, version 1.9.0* Super spiel für Zeitvertreib 🍁🍁 ### 5/5 — เยี่ยม *2023-09-26, version 1.9.0* มีภาษาไทยจะดีมาก ### 5/5 — ~_~ *2023-06-01* Игра по задумке интересная и прикольная но после какого-то времени все то что ты зароботал стопится и как бы весь прогрес и время в пустую --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
