How to Play:

There is currently no tutorial, so the game may feel a bit confusing at first. Here are the basics:

• Click on the image at the top left to choose your destination.
• Visit the market of a planet, find cheap goods, and check the galactic market.
• The higher the demand, the more they will pay—but a low demand doesn’t always mean cheap prices.

Current Development State:

Now in v0.2.0, Astronaire has added AI players, a win condition, and new gameplay mechanics! While still in early development, the core gameplay is functional, and regular updates will continue to expand the game. This is my first game, so suggestions are demanded.

Roadmap:

• All planets have utilities
• More AI refinements (potential personalities and different strategies)
• More random events
• More ships
• Add a story (it exists, just not implemented yet)
• Improve visuals and UI optimization
