I appreciate that it's meant to take a while so you can just go back to it every now and then, though I think I'd prefer to choose some sort of fast mode or something where I can play more in real time. The balance of losing money as the trucks move with earning income each time a planet is hit seems like it could take a lot of strategy. With more time it would be cool to see that balanced really well.","format":"md","likes":0,"spam":"N"}],"format":"md","images":["ld53\/wayback-placeholder.png"],"links":[{"url":"https:\/\/dandala.itch.io\/wonge","text":"icth.io"}],"metadata":{"g_key":"90633","g_author":"1179678","g_event":"LD53","g_eventkey":"118","g_subevent":"JAM","g_urlkey":"432520","g_title":"Spacella","g_status":"WAYBACK","g_place":"99999","g_commentcount":"11","g_site2_node_id":"367350","g_hide":"N","g_has_icon":"Y","g_rqueue":"0","g_random":"0"},"nds":{"n_key":"367350","n_urlkey":"432520","n_parent":"332127","n_path":"\/events\/ludum-dare\/53\/spacella","n_slug":"spacella","n_type":"item","n_subtype":"game","n_subsubtype":"jam","n_author":"179678","n_created":"1682979981","n_modified":"1778485851","n_version":"1132860","n_status":"WAYBACK"},"node":{"_collation":{"body_sanitizer":"TextUtils::SanitizeHTML via existing importer","event":"LD53","removed_author":false},"_superparent":9,"_trust":3,"author":179678,"body":"Have you ever thought to yourself, what is the one major need for all of the galaxy.

Click planets along the path to plan the route for your selected truck. The route must connect back to the space station in some way. You can include the same planet in a route more than once.
