Marketspace

MARKETSPACE is a game originally created for the GDevelop BIG Game Jam #9, it is very unfinished and not so fun, however i plan on making this a full and more fun game, so stay tuned! 

You will get to the top of the space market, and you will do whatever it takes to do so.

In MARKETSPACE,  you must buy and sell materials from planet to planet following a Rock-Paper-Scissors type of economy to make some good money, all while avoiding the police trying to stop you!

-- ECONOMY? WHAT ECONOMY? --

RED (Triangle) sells to  BLUE (Cross)

BLUE (Cross) sells to YELLOW (Square)

YELLOW (Square) sells to GREEN (Circle)

GREEN (Circle) sells to RED!! (Triangle)

So for example, if you buy stuff from a RED planet, you must find a BLUE planet to make a profit! Once you understand, it's easy as pie!

(These colors refer to the outline/symbol, not the actual planet's color in the top right)

-- FEATURES --

• Random Planet Generation: The entire map is randomly generated each run, this includes a planet's position, material type, and even appearance, with over 1M+ possible planet appearances!*

* maybe not 1M but it's definitely a bunch, highly doubt you'll find the same type twice

• Very simple economy system: Certain planets buy from other planets, some planets pay less, others ask for more, the further away you go, the more unstable the economy is. And don't stay with the same planets, as your activities on them will affect their economy and your earnings!
• Avoid the police: If they spot you, they won't go easy on you! You better escape or shoot them down if you can!
• Upgrade your ship: Spend your money to make your ship go faster, or be stronger, and even have a cool weapon to shoot down the police!
