This is a solid arcade game that is worth its price. There is some depth to the mechanics, but mostly what you'll be doing is applying markups, and watching for things like bandits attacks, (a countdown timer until you lose that you have to sink money into your defenses to avaid) and adjusting your merchant to auto-buy and auto-sell more expensive common commodities as your finances allow. Would be great for it to have more replayability, but at this price it's worth it if it entertains you for a few hours.

About This Game
Inspired by the trading mechanic of some of my favorite strategy games like Pirates! and by caravanserais (trading posts in the desert where people used to buy products from caravans) I tried to recreate the feeling of trading in the old times : you have to let caravans pass, remember the prices, and deduce the market tendencies by yourself.

There isn't much here in terms of gameplay but it's a nice little experience and very relaxing. easy 100% achievements and you can mute the music to play your own which makes for some good vibes.
I am giving Caravanserail a very mild recommendation for achievement hunters and for people who just want to chill out with a simple clicker game for an hour or two. The game looks nice and it runs smoothly but it has almost no depth at all, You basically just click on trade goods to buy them, increase their prices by 20-30% and then resell them as quickly as possible, over and over until you reach the amount of money required to beat the level. The game has ten levels which can be 100% completed in about an hour. It's an okay little game for the price but if I had spent any more than a dollar for it on sale I would have been disappointed.
Caravanserail is extremely short with only 10 levels. The first several levels add new functions for game play and objectives but most of the game play is extremely repetitive. If you like resource buying/selling games you will probably enjoy this but I wouldn't recommend buying it at full price. The menu graphics are cute but most of the graphics are minimal. Backgrounds are also minimal but depict generic looking desert scenes or small towns. With only 10 short levels and not enough variety in gameplay I can't really bring myself to recommend this game unless you really love buying/selling resource games or like me just collect pretty much any game that has a Middle Eastern theme.
It's fun little game if you like trading stuff.
This is a very short game, but has some replay value. A nice use of buying and selling mechanics, with mechanics for merchants, and upgrading items. I picked this up on a sale. Not sure if I would pay the $3 for it as it's a short, simple game. But it did give me a couple hours of fun.
Weidest UI I've ever seen. Main menu button does nothing and clicking quit takes you back to the levels menu.
The art is nice, and the concept has potential, but it is just too easy. While there is a hard mode, I got every achievement in one hour while hardly trying. Not really worth it.
It's a cool little game, though very short (finished it in under an hour, but there's also still a hard mode). Once you get a hang of of, it becomes very easy. The fun for me was in getting the hang of it itself, figuering out the mechanics and comodity prices. Could use a little more, but it does what it does well enough.
