I played this after playing Harvest 2300 from LD 52, I see how they relate and also how different they are!
The tutorial is nice, although it’d be useful to be able to disable it on second runs.
Realized you can spam scouts, but probably a bug since I could see the message “already scouting sometimes”.
On my last finish, I was carried over the big mine I didn’t spot earlier and it gave me extra spice! Exploit: for a even higher score, aim for the big mine, then move the camera so that the next small mine is at the bottom of the screen, and you can easily go over 500 by adding extra mining during the rescue!
Love this!
