The AI seems a bit weird. Every other faction was obsessed with taking over a planet called "Korlam" with zero industry and 33 "kill rate" (whatever that is). I just sent ships to high industry planets that were away from front lines and gradually took over.

Are we supposed to see fleets that are in transit? They don't show up anywhere on the map. The delay of ships reaching their destinations means that, past a certain point, everything that was ever under attack is just constantly getting hit with small fleets every turn, with no real way to anticipate it. You can't really memorize every fleet you sent, but sending fleets from planets that don't get attacked to planets closer to the front line is always good, so planets inevitably end up getting taken over one turn and then flooded with extra ships you sent after the first wave.

Overall, could use some more depth. Could also skip the fifty different "planet X was attacked from planet Y" cutscenes every turn, and display it all at once on the main screen.

There's what I assume is a sell price near items, but I don't see how you can sell them. Shouldn't the trash icon turn into a sell icon in shops?

Ah - didn't know about the max value. The level wraps around all the blank squares, so I had thought it was impossible to do anything other than add or subtract 5 at a time.

(for any readers, there are more levels now, added at the start I think. The old level 13 is level 18)

So you can add or subtract exactly five at a time no matter what, right? Level 13 has a total that doesn't divide by five, so it's unwinnable unless I missed a game mechanic.

Ah, I figured it out. You need to rush "captain in the cabinet" for the +250 per click, then get the initial x10 from the much earlier upgrade.

I found a fatal crash, though, before I could win. I got "I run Contras", and the game crashed a few seconds later, with only "The Yellow Palace" left to buy.

Very nice. Unique kind of puzzle, difficulty hard enough to be fun but not enough to make it grating if you're only playing in a coffee break. Finished all the levels, fun game.

Asked before but I think my post didn't go through. Is there a trick to the game that I missed, or does income stall out around the 250000 decree mark no matter what you do? Have tried a couple times and never managed to get past that point before sunscreen costs outpaced earnings.
