I was probably a bit too ambitious as usual so I haven't even really been able to test if the later levels are even possible.
I'll try and do a mac port tomorrow, after some sleep!
Aim:
Take your train from planet to planet, buying and selling stock. The prices of all goods are randomized on all but the first two planets, with the harder planets giving more variation so you can profit more, however you'll need to upgrade your ship first as more and more bandits will attack you when you start heading out to the further reaches of the Galaxy.
Controls:
Press 1 to access your turret when travelling mouse click to fire.
Press 2 to look at your sweet train (wasd to look around).
When docked on a planet its all point and click.
Uncompleted things:
I had really hoped to make this more Oregon Trail-ish, that's why you name your crew, I had intended for them to catch all kinds of crazy sexy space diseases, and maybe even jettison their coffins from the train, but alas I ran out of time.
Also all the planets are configured, but I didn't have time to make all the paths, so although you are theoretically travelling between planets the route you take always looks the same, but with the enemy spawning controlled by the difficulty of the chosen destination planet.
Bug/Typo Fix:
Thanks to Mechabit for pointing out that the enemies werent getting destroyed on level complete, thats now fixed
