The gameplay is criticized for being overly simplistic and short, with players reporting that they can complete the game in about 1.5 hours. While the graphics are appreciated, the lack of engaging mechanics, rewarding upgrades, and replayability detracts from the overall experience, making it feel more like an idle game than a fully developed title. Some users find it relaxing, but many agree that it currently lacks depth and balance.
- “Special mechanics - refreshing market changes the trade value of fish to gold.”
- “Fair price, relaxing cozy gameplay, no artificial grind worth a try.”
- “So, right now, if you like the graphics (which I do), there is about an hour of very simple gameplay here for you.”
- “Gameplay loop is short and non-existent almost, being able to almost complete the game.”
- “I beat the entire game in 1 hour and 30 minutes. The math is way off; cool concept, great art, but an idle game needs prestige mechanics, upgrade mechanics, and end-game replayability. Truthfully, I wouldn't even consider this early access; this is definitely not worth it in its current state. None of the upgrades feel rewarding, and the active gameplay is slower than the idle gameplay. You just buy boats and upgrade boats, then the game is over.”
