Kudos to the developers for creating a visually stunning game! The graphics were impressive, and the UI design was top-notch. I also appreciated the clever use of HTML, CSS, & Javascript. It was a truly enjoyable experience!

Saying that the bullets are the result of solar fusion does not mean that the game is about fusion, and the restriction is respected, like it's a planet, it means that it has an environment and you must save it. To make a game by completing the challange of jam in a narrative way means to make it conditional, because if you replace the planet and the rays of the sun with something else, then this game does not correspond to the theme and limitations.

Thanks for playing! After the jam I'm going to do some balancing based on feedback I've received, I'll definitely buff Ozone recovery/science :D
Basically, the more research tokens you have, the more ozone you recover when you take that upgrade. Investing in science increases research tokens per round. It's all about the ozone - i tried to keep it as simple as possible but i was struggling with how to get that idea across simply. Thanks for playing!

Ah ok, yeah I used some confusing language by accident here. The research tokens are all spent when you recover ozone, and it relates to how much ozone is recovered, they don't have anything to do with the amount of upgrades.
I couldn't think of another thing to call them; this is explained if you hover over the upgrades, but from seeing people play the game it seems most people don't read the subtext so I'll make it more clear after the jam.
