I would have really like the circles on the map to be labelled in some way. Relying on only my knowledge of world geography got me into trouble more than once.

It would have been nice a way to fully stop a ship. And, maybe, ships you aren't controlled should have some kind of IA or (at least) stop when they reach ground (got my ships killed a couple of times when switching to other while moving)

I agree with Farfin, either that or maybe an indicator to show me which direction to go.

Interesting game. I too agree with the need for labels :) Nice work on the game

Very unique game! I'm impressed! I like how you have to learn the geography of where everybody is, but I agree labels would help.

I also really like how you have to micromanage your ships for efficiency, and overall the whole idea of Earth being tiny because of our global delivery system goes very nicely with the theme.

Music, labels, and a little graphical spiffing up will make this game even better, but it's fun as it stands! Great job!

I like that one of the ships goes faster in reverse.

Pretty interesting. Took me a little bit to get a feel for the ships. I found that if I went backwards I could move quicker, so that's what I did, sailed around backwards. Almost resorted to the internet for locations, but resisted.

It was tough steering the ships at first but after a while I learned to be more delicate with the input. Nice work!

Loved the globe. Wish I knew where Santo Domingo was.

the boats go faster backwords?

Having labels on the ports would have been nice, and some of the ships move unbearably slow. When i was the second ship on the list,t it was painful to play because it moved so slow.

I like this game, it has a nice feel to it. Slow moving ships is ok, the trick is to multi task. Point the ship in the right direction, switch to another ship and so forth. But yeah, they shouldn't really go faster backwards :-)

Brilliant! Really LOVE the game! Please continue with it.

Only thing is put in port names somewhere because its really annoying to try find a port you don't know. Maybe a dotted line between places so you can visually pick out the paths before getting the job.

Multiple ship control really interesting mastery mechanic

Nice concept, it doesn't fits a lot with the theme but I enjoyed it to much. good job!

Love the idea, difficulty was a bit high (easy to collide when picking up/dropping off) which could be frustrating but I enjoyed it all the same.

Great idea! It could use a more balanced introduction, though. Just one ship, e.g.

Interesting concept. Would be more better with only one ship at first.

very nice little game.
The ships are faster backwards, intended?

Good Job!

A post-compo version is at http://tinyshipping.librador.com with the most annoying problems fixed (game is too long, and ships go faster backwards).
