Hullbound: the Google Play kit

Everything for Hullbound's Play listing, on the business developer account. Tap a file name to download it.

The app

Hullbound 1.8 (code 9) is live on Google Play as of 29 Oct, so its .aab is no longer kept here.
Permissions: internet, notifications (it asks, Android 13 and up), and the two that let a reminder survive a restart. No exact alarms, so there's no permission declaration to fill in.

Release notes (English, 192 of 500). Play asks for these when you make the release; paste them with the tags.

<en-US>
• Play now is the first button when you open the game; an account is still there if you want one.
• Your first stop comes a minute after you set out, so there's a choice to make straight away.

Hullbound: Space Crew Survival

Short description (79 of 80)

Space survival in real time: your crew sails on while you're away. Raid wrecks.

Full description (1789 of 4000)

Made by a vibecoded app.

Your crew are taking a small ship to a far port, a few real days away. Time aboard is real time, a minute a minute. They eat, sleep and keep the air going on their own, and raiders board while you're away. Come back later to see who made it.

Every voyage is an episode. Season 1, The Long Quiet, starts with a courier and a sealed case, and what you choose at one stop comes back at the next and decides how the episode ends. The lines are written as you play by Claude, Anthropic's AI model, from the season's outline and your choices. The costs and numbers are the game's own; the story never changes them.

About once a day the ship docks at a base and a choice waits for you: a passenger who wants passage, a trade, fuel, a shortcut, or one of your crew falling sick. Tick the reminder and your phone tells you when the ship docks. If nobody answers in 12 hours, the captain takes the safe choice.

Every day the ship passes a wreck, and you raid it yourself. Board a dead starship, read its logs, take three things and get back to the airlock before your air runs out. What you bring home feeds the crew, and the parts build the ship bigger, room by room, in a deck plan editor.

• A crew of six who live on without you
• Season 1: six episodes, told from the choices you make
• A new wreck every day, the same one for everyone, with a daily board
• Practice wrecks whenever you like
• Redraw your ship: every new square costs parts, and a room works by its name
• The ship keeps going without a connection (the daily wreck needs one)
• An account is optional and keeps your crew across devices

Free to play, no ads. Episode 1 is free. Shipwright, one purchase, opens the rest of Season 1, lets your ship grow past one deck and your crew past 12, up to 50.

App or game: Game. Category: Simulation. Free (Shipwright is the in-app purchase; a free app can never be made paid). Category and contact go in Grow users → Store presence → Store settings.

Portuguese (Brazil) listing

Added 26 Oct. Hullbound's first install from outside, and its only returning Android player so far, is in Brazil. Play shows a translated listing to people whose phone is set to that language. In Play Console: Grow users → Store presence → Main store listing → Manage translations → Add your own translations → Portuguese (Brazil) – pt-BR, then paste these three. The graphics stay the English ones. The full description says the game itself is in English, so nobody installs expecting Portuguese. Translated by the same AI that makes the game, from the English text above.

Hullbound: Tripulação Espacial

Short description (75 of 80)

Sobrevivência espacial em tempo real: sua tripulação segue viagem sem você.

Full description (1951 of 4000)

Feito por um app vibecoded. O jogo está em inglês.
Sua tripulação está levando uma pequena nave até um porto distante, a alguns dias reais de viagem. O tempo a bordo é tempo real, minuto a minuto. Eles comem, dormem e mantêm o ar funcionando sozinhos, e piratas invadem a nave enquanto você está fora. Volte mais tarde para ver quem sobreviveu.
Cada viagem é um episódio. A Temporada 1, The Long Quiet, começa com um mensageiro e uma maleta lacrada, e o que você escolhe numa parada volta na próxima e decide como o episódio termina. As falas são escritas enquanto você joga pelo Claude, o modelo de IA da Anthropic, a partir do roteiro da temporada e das suas escolhas. Os custos e números são do próprio jogo; a história nunca os muda.
Mais ou menos uma vez por dia a nave atraca numa base e uma escolha espera por você: um passageiro pedindo carona, uma troca, combustível, um atalho, ou alguém da tripulação ficando doente. Ative o lembrete e o celular avisa quando a nave atracar. Se ninguém responder em 12 horas, o capitão fica com a opção segura.
Todo dia a nave passa por um destroço, e você mesmo o saqueia. Entre numa nave morta, leia os registros, pegue três coisas e volte à câmara de descompressão antes do ar acabar. O que você traz alimenta a tripulação, e as peças aumentam a nave, sala por sala, num editor de planta de convés.
• Uma tripulação de seis que vive sem você
• Temporada 1: seis episódios, contados a partir das suas escolhas
• Um destroço novo todo dia, o mesmo para todos, com placar diário
• Destroços de treino quando quiser
• Redesenhe sua nave: cada quadrado novo custa peças, e uma sala funciona pelo nome
• A nave segue viagem sem conexão (o destroço diário precisa de uma)
• Conta opcional, guarda sua tripulação entre aparelhos
Grátis, sem anúncios. O episódio 1 é grátis. Shipwright, uma compra única, abre o resto da Temporada 1, deixa sua nave crescer além de um convés e sua tripulação passar de 12, até 50.
