Happy Planet [v0.1]

Happy Planet is oblivious to the dangers around him. Take on the role of the Sad Sun - the miserable mope tasked with the job of preserving Happy Planet's ignorant bliss! Shoot Jerks, collect Stardust, and hire an array of Celestial Buddies to enhance your defenses in this dizzying fusion of classic arcade shooting, workplace satire, and light tower defense strategy. 

NOTE: This is an early version of the game. While all of the basic mechanics are present and functional, things are subject to change, and much more is to come.

Included in this version:
- 15 Celestial Buddies to hire
- 3 Arms (weapons) to swap between
- 6 Power-Ups to desperately grab
- 5 Jerk types to obliterate
- Celestiary with unlockable entries for every game element
- Unlockable background music tracks 
- High-Score tracking (can be saved across sessions via the Save/Load menu)
- Dozens of lore-(and laugh)-filled Sticky Notes
- Unlimited potential for fun!

Controls : 
Left Click / Spacebar - Shoot (hold for a Charged Shot)
Right Click - Summon your Emergency Option, if you have one to spare
Number Keys 1 - 4 - Hire Celestial Buddies (assuming you have enough Stardust)
"R" Key - Quick restart
[For Emergency Options and Buddies, you can also just click their respective buttons with Left Click if you'd rather do that.]

Planned Future Features:
- 20 total Buddies to hire and swap between
- 100-ish Contracts to complete
- 200+ Sticky Notes
- Additional Jerks to fight
- More Charge Shot types to unlock
- Even more extras to buy in the Bazaar (we'll leave this to your imagination for now...)

[UPDATE: 10/14/24 - Added Amicable Asteroid - a new high-orbit Buddy.  This lovable turncoat is a powerful offensive smasher, but he breaks apart and shrinks as he hits into jerks.]

[UPDATE: 10/16/24 - Added the Armory (get it? ARMory?) to equip Arms between shifts, as well as a helpful HUD indicator to show which Arm you currently have equipped. Simply click the small gear button that appears to bring up the Armory, and freely swap between Bummed Burst, Bleak Beam, and Forlorn Flare. This is just a taste, and other Arms (as well as proper unlock conditions, descriptions of each one, etc.) will be added over time.]

[UPDATE: 10/18/24 - Rehauled the Data menu - which now shows a breakdown of your overall game progress! Buddies Employed, Arms Unlocked, Contracts Claimed, Celestiary Entries Seen, and Tunes Bought are all tracked here - "# Unlocked  / # Total" style, along with an overall Completion %. This overall number is now also tied to unlocking new Arms - you'll unlock Bleak Beam at 25% completion and Forlorn Flare at 50% completion for now. Of course, the exact totals and percentage values are going to change as more content is added - and that goes for the unlock parameters, too. Also, added another page of Contracts to complete. It's a start.]

[UPDATE: 10/19/24 - Added another 2 pages of Contracts. Also adjusted Arms to have different charge times (all of which are faster than the previous, uniform time). They're more useful now. Enjoy!]
