Port Trader

Had fun playing for sure. It took 10-15 mins to really understand how the game works... It's an idle game so yall need to put the game in windowed mode (press Escape) and tuck it at the corner of your desktop, let the game run itself. Most folks don't do that. The blueprint that worked for me as follows Get to the first 200 gold to unlock autopilot (hire the good lookin cartoon captain). Save enough gold to get to 5k to unlock the next ship. Start upgrading capacity, trading speed and movement speed (the order doesn't quite matter) Do NOT upgrade the ports yet. Hold hold hold your urge. Within 20-30 mins you should get to the 3rd ship and so on If the dev should include some kind of tech tree to further the gameplay, or some items to pickup along the way .... it would probably do even better. Not a game designer just me rambling haha

A rather cozy ship based game. The basics are well covered. Spent 30 mins getting to the 2nd ship. after that it was smooth sailing, no pun intended. Put the game running on autopilot, tucked nicely in the corner of my screen. Check in occasionally and in no time i have my 4th ship. Definitely a game for casual incremental folks that just like to idle around, not having any stress on objectives whatsoever.

Good enough number go up game. Beautiful artwork. Autumn in 14th century europe is what i guess the devs went for. Build tips the first 20 minutes 1) Click on the yellow highlighted ports (these are auto highlighted). 2) Ship sail 3) Ship trade 4) Save your gold 5) Once you get to 200 gold, hire the first captain Build tips for the next 1-2 hours 1) Upgrade ship numbr 1 (there are 3 buttons - i went for capacity and trading time) 2) Save enough to buy Ship num 2 3) And so on Pro tips 1) You NEED to upgrade the ports (not just the ships) 2) you can leave the game running in the background while you do other things. Thats how number go up 3) Always claim the offline gold when you come back the next day

Unique artwork... if you enjoy peaceful relaxing games where number go up while being cajoled by the sweet music track, this game is for you. I give this 7.8/10

Beautiful art Agree with the other reviewer that the music is one of the best i heard in the incremental games genre Solid basics ie ship movement, docking, upgrading, hiring employees, etc. Scaling could use some improvement One issue i struggled a bit was the first 5 minutes, where I tried to be smartypants and skipped the tutorial. i did not know the yellow highlights were clear cues to navigate ship into port. I Did not learn the basics of trading and just winged it. Verdict - Get the game on discount

Not much to do, really bad scaling after purchasing the 5 ships.
