The game will not launch. It gives an error, "MERCHANT OF THE SKIES HAS NOT COMPLETED THE GOOGLE VERIFICATION PROCESS" and I'm unable to play the game. Google says this doesn't fall within their refund guidelines & to contact the developer, who has not bothered to respond. Buy at your own risk.
I want refuns
Accidentally bought this when I was high. Gave it a go but had no idea what to do. Very annoying navigation and lots of work to figure out how to do a lot of things
The game idea seems to be interesting, but it is my feeling that the UI needs some work, particularly for a game under the "premium" and paid category. Just a few of the many things I've found, how you buy and sell things is not intuitive and the buttons are tiny, the upgrade screen asks you to confirm you are making that choice before you can even read a description, the text is so tiny it's often hard to read it unreadable.. and more that I don't have the characters to share.
the game lost the save file after a couple of hours of play
Very nice art, beautiful game, but way too difficult from the beginning, no clear progress path and gets boring very fast. Doesn't seem to have a real background story as well, the lore feels rushed. OK game overall but I wouldn't have paid for it if I had tried it first, sorry.
