The goal of Star Shipping is to become the richest captain in the galaxy by trading commodities between new and exciting planets, while working for the intergalactic space trading company “Star Shipping Inc.” Since space is unpredictable while traveling to different planets, you’ll encounter multiple types of enemies like space pirates, monsters and other alien lifeforms. You can choose between flying solo or protecting your cargo by hiring defense drones. In-game news at the end of each turn dramatically affects the next turn’s outcome as well as random events that occur during travel will make players think twice before taking chances and increases the fun as the game progresses.


“The reception for Star Shipping has been great so far, and we hope PC and Mac gamers enjoy the gameplay and high production values,” said Oded Sharon, CEO of Corbomite Games. “The new HD version of the game for iPad, iPhone and iPod includes high-resolution graphics, and more content, including new enemies, more random planets, and new ships. We know that Star Shipping fans are going to love the new features.”


About Star Shipping
Star Shipping offers players challenges that doesn’t rely on their ability to hit stuff on the screen, and doesn’t require them to be 100% focused on the game at all times. Instead they can play at their own pace, and use economy planning skills and intellect to trade various commodities between stars and climb up the score ladder as you accomplish your goal of becoming the richest space captain in the galaxy. Star Shipping includes an in-game store where you can buy upgrades to your ship in order to increase performance and get higher scores, a bank where you can keep your savings and where you can loan cash in times of need, scoring and ranking systems, leader boards, achievements, and challenges.


In the high resolution version of the game there is significantly more content, and players will see an improved version of the beautiful space backdrops, planets, aliens, nebulae, space ships, items and characters. The game also includes unique features for each platform, for example, the accelerometer is used on the iPhone and iPad, and the mouse is used on PC and Mac.
