Thanks for sharing this. Works for me pretty good :)

Good to see not including any 3rd party assets!

hiOP

Thanks @midzer! What was your high score?

I stopped the game when I had over 50 sols collected, I think. Preparing dinner now.

Gonna replay later again :)

What does the $ amount on the canvas tell me?

hiOP

Oh nice! Try leaving it running while you make dinner :)

Bottom left $ is the value of each star system trust. Top Left $ is a high score = # sols collected x total trust value.

Backstory: the story goes that centuries ago a benefactor setup a $0.99 star system trust that compounds annually over centuries ($0.99 x 0.7)^648. So by the time a Solhopper crew arrives to collect the honeypot, each star trust worth ~$31,415,926,535,897,932.

Ok, I made to 100 in a fresh game with 605 sols passed. Need a break now :)

Really fun. Gonna share it!
