Which would you play?

Based on your personal preference - which one would you play?

#1
Manage and dispatch couriers to deliver packages. Plan and
set the most efficient routes, avoid traffic, breakdowns and
accidents to save time and fuel. Upgrade your warehouse,
maintain vehicles and expand your fleet to maximize profits.
Improve logistics, automate tasks and unlock new
opportunities.

#2
Sail your ship across the sea delivering cargo between ports.
Protect your cargo from physics-based waves, wind, weather
and other obstacles. Maximize profits from deliveries to
customize, upgrade, repair and refuel your ship. Earn
reputation from successful deliveries to unlock new routes,
ports, larger cargo and ships

#3
Breed slime blobs by growing and splitting them into new
slimes, collect and sell their slime. Multiply and mutate them to
produce the most exotic and profitable slime. Upgrade and
improve your facilities and technology, automate tasks and
research new upgrades to become the ultimate slime tycoon.
