The system of always returning to your base to recharge and collect resources for expanding asteroids is quite interesting. However, I don't think I understand how to expand. Is there a button where I can indicate where I want to expand?

Congratulations on the game and good luck in the jam!

The player's station will expand on its own, like the others, but it requires resources. I considered ways of letting the player direct the expansion as well as giving enemies ships that fight the player and collect resources, too.  There also wasn't a clear goal for expansion, though, as there was with the destruction of other stations.

Thanks for playing!

Maybe I'm dense, but what is "Kobo"/"Kobo-style"? Google was no help.

You aren't dense, it's an obscure game from the 90s, based on XKobo. https://www.olofson.net/kobodl/

It took me a lengthy chat with an LLM just to find it.
