Instructions:
### Game Title:
**Exoplanet Express**
### Objective:
The main objective of *Exoplanet Express* is to successfully transport goods across space to various exoplanets, managing limited fuel resources and avoiding costly damages. The game tests your piloting skills, resource management, and planning abilities as you navigate through treacherous space routes filled with obstacles.
### How to Play:
1. **Start Your Mission:** Begin each mission by loading your spacecraft with cargo destined for different exoplanets.
2. **Plan Your Route:** Choose your route carefully. Longer routes may consume more fuel but might offer safer travel, whereas shorter routes may present more hazards but use less fuel.
3. **Navigate the Spacecraft:** Control your spacecraft using keyboard controls or a joystick. You need to dodge asteroids, avoid cosmic storms, and maneuver through tight spaces to reach your destination.
4. **Manage Fuel:** Keep a close eye on your fuel gauge. Collect fuel pods floating in space or make stops at space stations to refuel.
5. **Deliver Goods:** Reach the designated exoplanet and offload your cargo. Successfully delivered goods earn you credits.
6. **Upgrade and Repair:** Use credits earned from successful deliveries to upgrade your spacecraft for better fuel efficiency, stronger shields, and increased cargo capacity. Repair any damages to avoid escalating repair costs on future journeys.
### Tips for Higher Scores:
- **Efficient Route Planning:** Analyze the risks and benefits of each route option. Choosing a slightly longer but safer route can sometimes save fuel and reduce repair costs.
- **Master Spacecraft Controls:** Practice controlling your spacecraft to improve your ability to navigate through hazards. Smooth navigation minimizes fuel consumption.
- **Prioritize Upgrades:** Invest in upgrades that enhance fuel efficiency first. This will allow you to travel longer distances without needing to refuel.
- **Collect Resources Wisely:** Aim to collect every fuel pod on your path but avoid going out of your way if it puts you at risk of damage.
- **Stay Alert:** Space is unpredictable. Be ready to adjust your course to avoid newly appearing obstacles and threats.
*Exoplanet Express* offers a complex and engaging space simulation experience where every decision from route planning to cargo management impacts your success. The game appeals to players who enjoy deep strategic planning and the challenges of navigating in a dynamic, high-risk environment.
