Loved it! A space trader was one of my ideas for the jam as well, using the same idea you did with pictographics used as good types :) I'm glad somebody else did that so I don't have to ;)

Had quite a bit fun! Would love a bit more challenge in terms of eg. diminishing fuel or similar, but it's a nice chill game as it is - not everything has to be made for challenge-seekers like me.

Congrats!

Firstly, congrats on squeezing so much functionality into 1K 🤓
I too am a big fan of space trading games & you've captured all the main aspects.
(The "pulsing" stars look great too! 👌)
Alas, I've yet to find a great Barnard's Star-like trading route, but who knows - maybe I'll find one in the next sector (...or the next one, etc. 😉)
Thx for making a great entry 👍
