Dec. 2024

Merchant sim where you buy low and sell high. Regions will always have the same preferences so it quickly a becomes monotonous thing, good to play while listening to a video essay.

Nov. 2024

Very fun game that despite seeming to have 0 replay ability ive played start to finish 3 times, not particularly long but high very quality.

June 2024

Very charming little trading game and a viable alternative to Xanax.

March 2024

Don't be an idiot! I was 10 hours deep into this game before I accidentally pressed "F" on the map screen. It's an island filter. It can show you which islands have a recharge station, and how far away they are! You can even click the island name in the list, and your ship will fly straight there!! To make matters worse, there is even a GIANT "F" on the left side of the screen. TEN GOD-DAMN HOURS!! How the HELL didn't I see that for TEN HOURS!

Simple but fun, with cute graphics. Didn't realise I needed a singing carrot in my life but here we are.
