You are a citizen of Earth. In recent years, Earth has run out of rare gems and minerals. As an astronaut
working for Secret Government Agency (SGA), you are sent to meet with intergalactic aliens on neighboring
planets to find valuable gems around the galaxy.
In this game, you will earn points for each gem you find. Your mission director has assigned you to take 150
trips into space to collect as many valuable gems as possible.
At the end of this game, you will earn a monetary bonus based on points collected during your mission. Good
luck!
This game takes 12-15 minutes to play. Please set aside time for uninterrupted gameplay.

Game Instructions
In this game, you will get points from flying to alien planets and trading with alien traders. In the first
stage, you will decide which rocket to use to fly to one of two alien planets.
There are two rockets you can choose to ride. Each rocket usually brings you to one of the two
planets most of the time, and to the other planet the rest of the time.
Be sure to pay attention to which rocket brings you to which planet!
Here are the two rockets you'll choose from during the game.
Press the SPACEBAR to continue to the next instruction.
Game Instructions
In the second stage, after landing on one of the two planets, you will need to choose which of two alien
traders to speak to.
Some aliens might have a lot of gems to trade, while other aliens mostly offer you dirt. The amount of
gems or dirt each alien has to trade changes over time throughout the game. An alien may run out of
gems (or find more gems) to trade at any point in the game, so be aware of these changes!
You will have to find which planet and which alien has the most gems, but remember that this
will change over time, so you need to adapt!
Below are the planets and aliens you will see during the game.
