Cool vibes, but confusing controls. I can sail around and visit ports, but buying things doesn't seem to deduct money. And I can't sell them again later.
Edit: I figured out the trading.
- ports are named randomly on each play through (3 letter words)
- each tradeable good can only be sold at a particular port
- you buy a good with numbers from any port, then sell them at the port they are intended for with the letter keys
- you only get money when selling items, not buying. In effect, you are accepting a delivery contract rather than buying items.
Bugs:
- you can go into negative money when buying ships, so earning money isn't really necessary
- trade prices are refreshed each time you visit a port, so you can just move away a square and come back to see a new list of items
- there's no indication when you reach max ship upgrades (i spent way too much time grinding upgrades haha)
Nice little game :)
