Ecliptic Industries by AncientEntity
Capitalism can no longer be escaped in space. Your goal is to buy up a solar system, mine it for all it's precious materials, sell them for $$$, then repeat.
We recommend a minimum of 10 minutes to try out the game, in that time you can complete roughly 2 stages. One of our team members spent several hours balancing the game and the awesomeness really starts to get awesome around there.

- Don't waste your initial money, buy 1 drill then buy 1 ship.
- The real game starts when you leave your 1st system (before supernova).
- Left click on your ship, then right click on a planet you are harvesting, then right click on a trader ship.
Do you have any plans to keep developing after the jam?
I brought everything to max level and still don't know how to extract Cores. You don't really have to do anything after the second level. Just buy all ships and all drills and click on the ship on the right, it always has better prices. Kind of an idle game. (not that that is a bad thing i'm just not sure if that was your intention)
It reminded me a bit of Turmoil, mine quick, sell to the highest bidders. Really a neat relaxing package!
The planets menu is really well done and intuitive !
I have noticed some bugs in the download version (maybe the htlm version is up to date but I can't play it), like cargo upgrade that don't upgrade like it is shown on the menu, ships colliding on the trade ship and being stuck there until you manually unlock them and sometimes ship refuse to interact to trader ships and you have to go back to the planet to make it append.
But nonetheless a good experience ! Loved the KSP music but it would have been even better to have it one the solar system view ahah. And I would have loved to see some orbitals trajectories for the ships !
