Welcome to Less is More!
You'll need .NET 4.5 (http://bit.ly/ZYrRgq) & XNA 4.0R (http://bit.ly/11PKzer) to play this game. Oh, and there's a potato in there, too.
In this game, you are the boss of a brand new interplanetary trading company. You've just bought your first ship, and it can ship anything anywhere.
The problem is, it can't carry much, and it flies very slowly.
If you could buy a more specialised ship, it would carry more and go faster.
But that makes them very expensive.
So expensive, no-one has ever been able to buy a ship that only carries one kind of cargo.
So that's what you're going to do!
Each planet on the map trades mainly in two goods: an import and an export. Buys Exports cheaply, and sell Imports for lots of profit!
Click on the planet with your ship in orbit to go to the trade screen, where you can buy or sell goods.
From that screen, you can also leave orbit, and select a new planet to travel to.
When you have enough money, go to the shop to buy new ships to add to your fleet.
In the shop, select the goods you don't think you'll want to trade to increase the capacity of the others.
Remember, the less cargo types a ship carries, the more it can carry, the faster it goes, but the more it costs!
You can also press M to pause the music at any time.
Press Escape to go back from some screens.
You can only have one ship in orbit of a planet at once - other ships will queue up for it to leave before they can trade.
And always remember-
Less is More!
