Updated with Linux port, exactly the same game, exactly(?) the same bug(s)! 😄
Synopsis
Trade. In Space!
Fly your little space-ship between small worlds, buying and selling trade items for ENERGON*, the universal resource / shield / future-money-replacement.
Well, until your luck runs out and the orange warning lights start blaring at least…
Fuel is automatically 'bought' from your ENERGON reserves (5 ENERGON to get a full tank) when you run out, but it's Game-Over when the ENERGON itself runs out!
*) I uh… can you believe that reference is unintentional? I never watched the show as a kid. Sorry to get anyones hopes up!
Scoring:
- Credz are earned everytime ENERGON is maxxed out at 100, but you still sell items.
- You've made a Trip when you've landed (or crashed) on a planet that wasn't the same as the last planet you've landed on.
You've only got 2 cargo-holds, so use them wisely!
Oh, and watch out for the green 'farce-field' 😉
Notes
- Content Note: Oblique reference to alcohol.
- Bug: Score-screen (on game over) may show score of the game before the one that just ended. :sweatdrop:
- Workaround for bug: When game-over, go back to main, then select the 'continue' option (as opposed to start). It will now show the score for last time.
- The help-screen may be a lot more confusing than the description here, sorry!
- Font: Quirk Medium.
- Made with: <br />
code: C++ & SDL2 (& some cleaned-up base code from last 2 times), <br />
images: The GIMP2, <br />
music: BeepBox.co, <br />
sounds-fx: Bfxr
- The game(-files) itself (and source) is still identical to the one I uploaded before the end of the compo, but I have overhauled both this description-page and the description on itch.io completely!
