The only thing I dislike about the game, is the same complaint that I have about all of the other games, I’ve got to sit through a lot of ads, and I just wish this game were different, ahead of the pack of you will, and allow people to actually own this game outright, by paying a big fat full price, (I would shell out a hundred bucks for this right to own a copy of the game…easily,) and not have to sit through advertising after advertising, after advertising. Otherwise, this game is a lot of fun to play. I’ve always enjoyed the concept of pirate games, whether it’s set on the high seas, or set in far reaches of outer space, pirate games are a lot of fun to play, and this game is one of the very best. Great job, and other than not allowing people to purchase a full version of the game without having to watch ads, I give this game a solid 5 out of 5, and highly recommend it to anyone who’s likes the genre.
Fun enough. Drive your boat shoot bad guys. However two BIG issues. 1. There is no iPhone/ipad cross play or progression. If you play on one none of your data is carried over including purchases. 2. Purchases are not recoverable if anything happens to your iPhone or ipad, like you have reset to system defaults. I have an email from developer saying this as it happened to me and I inquired. I spent $100 for a boat and gems all lost due to a random ipad issue. It is not a Game Center signed game so it does not carry into iCloud. All your progression and purchases are gone. There should be a clear warning from the developer about this. So basically play at your own risk and hope no bugs, phone/ipad issues occur and you lose everything. Game has a fun premise, but seems like a ripoff. Too many adds for everything unless you purchase parrots, which is a lame, just charge a a flat rate for no more ads periods. The company seems to want to nickel and dime you more than they want to provide a fun, engaging game with quality customer support. Updated 3/5- all in app purchases disappear once you close the app. Upon opening the app, all progress, purchases, ships gold and diamonds are gone. The reverts back to the beginning. I have called Apple and told of them of this issue and reported the app provider as possibly fraudulent.
I have been looking for a game like this for years for the app store and finally found it! When I open it and started wrecking other ships throughout that whole time to the next island I was given about 50 ads. It would be nice to pay 99¢ to disable ads like most mobile games. Or to come up with a different idea for making money other than ads. Another thing that ruined the game for me was when I reached the second island and I had already reached level 5 for my ship on the first island I was so happy cause it was bigger. Then I was extremely disappointed to notice that my ship was back at level 1 it was smaller and I lost all my gold and barrels... The only thing that I had was the level for my pirates. If this is what the game is supposed to be I am saddened to say that I will be uninstalling this unless it is changed cause I don't want to have to grind on every island to upgrade my ship to a Galleon. The game is fun when you can listen to the music and blast some ships with your (UPGRADED) Ship and not have to worry about “If I leave this Island I'm gonna lose all my progress and have to restart from square 1 again”. Anyways I hope the Developers acknowledge this and maybe even respond. Better yet I hope this Pirate Ship issue gets fixed or changed cause it's pointless to just go to another island. I have plenty of other things to talk about that can improve this game but these two are the top 2 for me. Thank you!
