- Cute and relaxing match-3 game with a pirate theme that can provide fun for a few hours.
- The game offers a unique twist on traditional match-3 mechanics by incorporating sailing and ship battles.
- Fun and addicting gameplay reminiscent of classic games like Candy Crush and Bejeweled.
- Gameplay becomes repetitive and dull quickly, with limited mission variety and grinding elements.
- Lack of content and features, such as pathfinding and interesting quests, detracts from the overall experience.
- Short playtime of only a few hours, making it feel less valuable and not worth the investment.

The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and variety, with repetitive missions and insufficient character development leading to a quickly diminishing interest. Players express a desire for more engaging multi-part quests and improved dialogue, as well as frustration with incomplete quests. Overall, the narrative elements fail to provide a compelling experience, making the gameplay feel stale.
“Some multi-part quests would be cool, or at least better dialogue and add some characters to make that less obvious.”
“However, after that, the game becomes old very quickly, since there are only a handful of kinds of missions. The profits from trading become very negligible, and the battles are also relatively repetitive. The system itself is okay, but you have to do it again and again uncountable times, especially in the late game where you have almost nothing else to do.”
“Some of the quests won't complete.”
“(Really) poor match-3 mini-game, yet it seems to be the only interesting thing to do. It does not stand up at all in comparison with other games of the genre, such as Puzzle Quest and Bejeweled, which you can get for approximately the same price or less.”

“A match-3 game, but with the mechanics of sailing around islands and fighting with other ships.”

Players consistently criticize the grinding in the game as tedious and unengaging, noting that it becomes apparent from the very beginning. This aspect detracts from the overall enjoyment and pacing of the gameplay experience.
“Pure stupid and boring grinding right from the start.”
