When I first downloaded the game maybe two weeks ago I was able to just about finish all three locations in a matter of a couple hours. Then they updated and made the cards useless. Now with the new update they brought the cards back and added the tier upgrades. However, now when I upgrade the game is constantly crashing. I was able to catch up and fully upgrade the first location but while trying to do the second I gave up because I would only be able to do a couple upgrades and it crashes. So basically in less than ten seconds the game crashes. Constantly. I was happier with it when I first downloaded it if they just would have added more locations but I think they tried to reach to far with the last couple updates and have dramatically reduced the quality of this game.
First off this game has kept me busy for a week at least, and I’d say that’s amazing. I’ve only had one bug in that time and it was when I was half way through world 3 lane 5 my money went to 0 and it took about four minutes to fix. Other than that it’s been worth the storage space.
First off, this game has kept me busy for a few days and I think it’s a lot of fun for a very simple game. As others have said I’ve found some “bugs”. Settings doesn’t open, on my second port on the Delaware spot the train has completely stopped functioning. I find some of the ads don’t actually give me any money at all (not the biggest issue) and lastly I found that when I bought the Marocco port the prices are normal on purchase, but once I make the purchase and go back to Delaware and back to marocco the prices drastically drop to the prices that are in Delaware for the same port number. Sorry if that last part seemed confusing.
The sea is a harsh mistress, become its master and save the world in Idle Port! Aye! Aye! Captain! That’s right. The fate of the world is in your han...
