I love the minimal aesthetic, and I love the discovery of searching for high and low prices among the stars. I think this game would be amazing is you extended it into an Oregon-Trail-esque interplanetary mercantile experience. I'm imagining fuel being required to move between planets, random text events (\"Meteor shower! You take 5 hull danage!\"), and perhaps even fun beeps and boops for sound.\n\nI played it on Firefox and didn't experience much performance slow-down. I do wish it had an end condition, though. I stopped after I made a hundred or so silver.\n\nThanks for the fun game!
