This is actually very inventive, and even gets addictive once you get into it. Looks like a new genre, make a game like this but with good graphics?

Took me a while to really understand the game however once it twigged I realised actually you build a really solid economy here with just very simple interactions.
I will be playing this game even after I rated it
Loading stucks on 95%.
Fun when you understand how it works.
Loading becomes stuck when close to completing for me as well, both in IE and Firefox
A fun little strategy game.
Though not challenging when you grasp how it works, it's still super addictive. Nicely done, you got something here perhaps worth developing it further :)
If loading is stuck, you should buy a new boat (by buying some boat parts).
Science can lead to more capacity in harbours.
Unfortunately, when harbours are full, logging window is totally flooded.
Fun and original game, although it could use a better tutorial.
good audio, I liked that the stuff I could do was in green so that I knew what to do....overall pretty good
I will play this after the LD game, in my spare time. I like that it auto pauses on unfocus. But I believe in option-menus, if I ever like to turn that of.
Unfortunately this one wouldn't work for me :/
It was an interesting concept I think. A lot of strategy games that cover this era, for example Empire Total War, never let you control slavetrade as an aspect.
Wow.
That's an extremely good take on the theme.
Kudos on working that one out. Also, on making a game with actual good gameplay on it. My game's vampire has nothing on the monster I was while playing this.
Nice little strategy game. I really wanted to go on playing! The balancing seems off though, my soldiers that were enslaving people died within a few seconds, so getting new slaves takes a lot of time.
Fun game. But it took me a while to get how does the gameplay work.
Anyway, this game is addictive. :p
5/5 no more no less, you achiev a aewsome game! i would love to buy a mobile version of this =)
Had to play it on chrome (didnt work on firefox)
I personally like these kind of games where you have to manage resources to do things. Good game!
Really solid little economy sim that due to the subject matter embraces the theme of being a monster.
If you continue work on this post-jam some streamlining to reduce clicking (like auto selling in europe) might be nice.
Very nicely executed and balanced and great take on the theme. The only problem I had is that there is no max quantity shown for tobacco and sugar, so I ended up way oversupplying and having hundreds of both deleted before I could get enough boats to keep up.
Why is audio 100% right panned?
best game i played this ludum dare untile now, awesome game, very addictive very good interpretation of the theme. I think there are only 2 things that only could be at all improved, its nearly perfect (graphics, but yeahh a compo entry so very good work) sound i wished more alternating, but the actual soundtrack is awesome and very fitting for the game theme(but i played more then a hour) so i think the nearly perfect compo entry
This was great. It took me a few tries to understand what was going on, but it was addicting enough that I kept retrying until I beat it. I could see this being a really neat "educational" game about slavery for kids in school. Nice work.

There is good planning behind the mechanics and the genesis of a historically engaging strategy game here. Definitely would recommend, and hope you develop these ideas into a more comprehensive game.
Very entertaining game. Played for 10 -15 minutes creating slaves and becoming rich but is there any ending or final goal?
I love games like this, great job. However, after a couple of minutes playing, the game becomes laggy and eats a lot of cpu. Not sure what's behind that.
It took me a while to figure it out, but good solid gameplay! I made a lot of money >:).
Takes a while to understand, but after that point it is a very cool game
It was a bit slow on my computer!
Great inventive and monstruous idea!
Wow. Very fun and addictive. Started to bog down and get slow after 10 minutes or so, had to stop playing. Nice work.
Doesn't look like much, but it sure is compelling.
