One bug and some suggestions
Bug: - Ghost during his pattern when he was teleporting for some reason just completely stopped moving. I think it had something to do with my screen positioning (I was standing above the ghost and I didn't move since he last teleported?) not sure how to reproduce it but basically ghost stood still there.
suggestions:
- Game is way too easy, after first 2 levels or so, you can literally stand there tanking ALL the shots of the boss and survive and killing the enemy. There needs to be a bit more balance on this, took me 20 minutes to clear and no replayabilty but it's a smoothly made game on a good engine, just needs more challenge and variety.
focus on adv for the first few levels, that probably the best way to optimise? I'ts all throw away equipment and that's the fastest way to get gold imo...?
How to get some of the achievements really easily without leaving port:
1) Buy and sell the same item in the same port over and over again (can technically get achievement 16-25 all this way. More 'click-efficient' if you earn a bit of capital first
2) Buy 30 ships.... by repeatedly buying and then selling the 1200 ship (you get the same amount of money back). You can do this buy buying a load of rice and selling at the first time after ur fast battle.
3) Upgrade 100 times - Following this train of thought, you can then buy a new ship, upgrade the 3 slots (these are the lowest price), sell the ship, buy a new ship, upgrade again for 3 more slots. Repeat
If you then max out your "Board" and "Action points" your lowly 1200 ship will be able to pretty much board like any of the first 5-10 levels... making this super easy game... even easier.
Dev - you should probably plug these holes if u can (e.g. adding a bid-ask spread on buying items)
What cash grab? You mean that awesome value Gold bundle? I guess some people just don't appreciate a bargain.
