Sky Traders of Jupiter by Xopods
*** IMPORTANT NOTE: THE VERSION LINKED TO CURRENTLY IS NOT THE LD VERSION. I ACCIDENTALLY OVERWROTE THE LD VERSION AND DON'T HAVE A BACKUP. PLAY IF YOU WANT, AND LEAVE COMMENTS, BUT PLEASE DO NOT VOTE, AS IT WILL BE UNFAIR TO OTHERS ***
This is a real-time space trading game with a dynamic economy. I didn't pack all the features in that I wanted, but I think it's still pretty cool, and I'll definitely polish it up over the next week!
Basic instructions here: http://www.ludumdare.com/compo/2010/04/25/basic-instructions-for-sky-traders-of-jupiter/
NOTE: Due to time constraints, I didn't have a chance to test the gameplay much, and as a result, the Ludum Dare version is much too hard! Very hard to make a profit, and, as has been pointed out in the comments, getting robbed is essentially game over. Better balance is definitely priority #1 for the post-Ludum version... I hope you won't be TOO harsh in the voting out of frustration.
NOTE 2: I didn't know that submitting source was obligatory. I'm submitting now, but didn't keep a copy of the non-LD version. About two hours of work has gone into this since the end of LD, so don't accuse me of cheating if you decide to compile the source and discover it's significantly less buggy and more fun than the compiled LD version.
