In terms of production quality - incredible. The music is great, visuals are very pleasant to look at. Voice acting adds a lot as well and I enjoyed the lines. Really my only complaint is that I feel the game is a bit too easy. Maybe I was just lucky, but I felt there wasn't that much planning ahead that would be necessary to complete it. I think the game wanted me to search and compare different prices for all the goods, but I didn't really feel there was any danger of my money running out.

Oh my god I love the vibe of this game! The art is really really excellent, the music is great, the voice acting is good, and I love how the UI fits together. Had a lot of fun beating it. The game didn't feel too challenging once I got the hang of it - it could be nice if I felt a little more stretched while playing it. But really just so impressed with how polished the game feels for a jam project :)

Really pleasant game. The voices, audio and music is especially nice.

Really enjoyable game to play! Everything about it felt so polished and fine-tuned and was overall very pleasant to play!

Wow! Stunning entry. Love the graphics and sound and VO, game has a wonderful atmosphere to it.

Really gave me Sid Meier's Pirates vibes! Great game to kick back and chill to.

Really a top tier entry all around.

That was a fun time, will play off screen to just play some more xD. Tell the Nubia Ridge Man to read me stories.

nhcarter123 2023-05-03 04:30

Actually insane how good this game is. Like this could be on steam and I would not bat an eye. Graphics and UI were very impressive.

pixelce 2023-05-03 09:49

Really good game. I really love this game Vibe. Graphics were cute.

yusp 2023-05-03 09:57

Game looks very good. The idea is very unique and the designs are quite impressive. The voiceovers are just perfect, very like it. Game feels complete, very great!

Great game. Extremely polished and clean, and the audio is just next-level. Voice-acting in a game jam game? Incredible! Also love the art and UI. Just wish I could do the upgrading on my own or at least know when and where I get what upgrade next.

roboolet 2023-05-03 14:56

Absolutely staggering game, especially for a jam entry. The production values are off the charts here, literally, i cant go higher than 5 stars! The audio/VA is an absolute standout even compared to games made within a reasonable timespan.

madr 2023-05-03 15:00

I never seen this level of voice acting in a game jam game - it was great! Not to mention the great and polished game 5 stars.

merdeboi 2023-05-03 15:04

Damn really good, voice acting is all top tier. Graphics, gameplay, audio all go together nicely. Some difficulty, but not too many resources to hunt down, just enough. Great short playtime as well with a satisfying end.

erebrus 2023-05-03 15:06

Definitely very good. The voice acting was an unexpected feature in the output of a 72h jam, especially with this quality. Like many said, very polished and feeling complete. Congrats.

paulsams 2023-05-03 15:08

The atmosphere was awesome, but the game, as the commentators have already said above, was too simple. I would also rather like to add two small jambs, so to speak: airship moves faster diagonally (that is, you do not normalize the direction vector), and it was also not very clear which city which task belongs to. It's cool that the arrows are different colors, but it would be great if the list of tasks displayed the same color.

bageldesu 2023-05-03 15:08

Very well put together, beautiful art, audio, and gameplay. I'm a sucker for games like sunless skies/seas. And this scratched that itch in every good way possible! Well done!

argaf 2023-05-03 15:36

Really fun game! Great visual! My only concern was the visual too zoomed for a management game and a bit non-user friendly.

argaf 2023-05-03 15:56

Love the mood! It brings me nostalgia. Audio is spotless! And congrats to the programmer who created art too!

sheepolution 2023-05-03 17:11

This was really good! It was a lot of fun trying to figure out which parts to buy and sell to get enough money to buy the goods for the contracts. It's very nice that the radio says in which direction they are, when you didn't have to, since you have the arrow (though it took me a while before I found that option). Lovely graphics, nice music, perfect length. Great job!

What an amazing entry! I found it really soothing in a similar way as The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, which is a huge compliment as it is one of my all time favourites. The voice acting was superb, the graphics are cute and very coherent. Very nice touch with the arrow that points where you need to go, without it I think the game could have been frustrating. Overall I would rate this as your best entry yet!

bodhiagora 2023-05-05 00:27

Fantastic work here. Audio, Graphics, the UI, everything flows together quite well and ties into the theme. Great job!

jitspoe 2023-05-05 02:06

Nice, chill game. Loved the voice acting!

conduit 2023-05-05 02:42

10/10 experience! I loved the vibes and atmosphere of the entire game. It really sucked me into the environment, from the ambience and voice acting to the shifting sound design. Would love to see an expanded story mode?

weeping-rupee 2023-05-05 22:29

Hey thanks for stopping by the stream. Here's the VOD where I played your game if you're interested: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812362155

matt-green 2023-05-06 01:25

I've been very conservative rater and this game got 5s across the board. The audio was great. The pixel graphics are incredible. I would play a full version game of this in a heartbeat.

Just wow.

johnsensei 2023-05-06 01:27

Saw this game featured in a stream. Took some getting used to the controls, but I enjoyed the game once I got a hang of it. If you work on it more, a map feature would be nice.

euler-moises 2023-05-06 15:40

I loved it! With a little more balancing it will be a perfect game!

I saved it to play more!

I really liked it!

instant classic

bongard22 2023-05-06 17:43

Absolutely blown away by the level of polish present. Incredibly high quality, graphics, UI, voice acting and so on. Had a great time playing it on stream here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1812558164?t=1h3m13s

honest-dan 2023-05-06 21:32

Lovely visuals and atmosphere created with the solid voice acting. Satisfying to play, and paced well - it finished just as the gameplay was starting to feel a little repetitive. Solid entry!

ategon 2023-05-07 04:52

Thanks for submitting your game to be played on the stream! If you wanted to watch my reaction again here's the vod timestamped to your game https://youtu.be/iOvkquUaMjs?t=4315

essillore 2023-05-07 13:57

Thank you for stepping by at my game and rating it! I will rate and review your game when not watching stream. Your game is just so inspirational by just seeing it. The UI is so beautiful, and like that you made a "cartography" kinda-strategy game. The graphics are beautiful, the voice acting is amazing (you have some real voice talents there). There is a lot to learn from you! Wow!

justcamh 2023-05-07 15:01

Such an awesome game, wow! The graphics are so polished, the UI is clear, a goal is clearly in sight and the game never felt too easy or hard. Really such a perfect entry, well done! If you'd like to rewatch the stream, there's a vod here;

essillore 2023-05-07 15:54

This is such a great game! Discovered it by Justcamh:s stream. I was amazed, both at the prettyness, the quality of voice acting (and that there is voice acting), the functionality of the UI. That you made a more-or-less strategy game. And you made an airship delivery game!

When I played it, I was surprised that the replay value was not as great as I assumed from watching the stream. I also thought that it would be easier to remember the instructions of multiple locations, and readjust my mental map of where I need to fly. The direction arrow was quite clear, but felt like cheating. (Though before I saw how it is positioned by the shadow of the airship, I wasn't sure which way it is pointing as it's a triangle). The graphics did not quite scale up to fullscreen, and the movement of the ship was a little bit "nudgy" (is that a word? going fast and then slower, instead of smooooth). Don't know if that was intentional.

A really great game, I'd so play if you make levels for it (what is on the other side?).

poshdan 2023-05-07 19:44

Played this on stream, I absolutely loved the voice acting! Together with the environmental sound, the music, and the overall feel, this makes for an immersive game. There's even an economy simulation where item prices vary between areas and are affected by purchases, which is a very nice touch. I feel I got the upgrades before I could appreciate their effect, though. (didn't run out of storage space being getting it expanded etc) Overall, this is a fantastic little game, and I enjoyed my time with it. Good job!

dokan 2023-05-08 17:57

Very solid entry, it's hard to complain about anything. Great audio, I really appreciate the voice acting!

mateusboga 2023-05-08 22:12

Incredibly well-done game! The biggest highlight of this has to be the voiceacting, which is probably the best I've heard in any LD game, at least in my memory. Only thing I have to pick at is that it's not very intuitive to get the hang of it at first. Anyway, thanks for submitting it on stream! Here'd the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1814982162

b4ux1t3 2023-05-09 01:56

The _real_ pixel art was the star of the show! Really my only complaint was that the voices telling me where to go really didn't need to, but, eh, JAM GAME!
