Nice little game! I just bought Neptune :)

I think adding stars as background can help reduce weirdness of sun's motion, it currently looks like the sun just randomly walks around (but I get the idea, you are trying to have a minimal bounding box of all the planets and zoom the camera to fit it)

Also why did you decide to go with A B C instead of usual K M B ... ? Just wondering, because 10k 10m 10b feels more natural than 10a 10b 10c, just my opinion

Overall very nice :)

Stars are planned.

I have implemented having normal names for the number formatting (as well as scientific), however that will become available once I add settings and add in all of the names.

I went with A B C because it was far easier to generate for huge numbers, and once I know what kind of number range I'm going to I can set up the names.

A B C is fairly standard for idle games, it's only really AdVenture Capitalist that uses full names. It's harder to reason with, whereas with letters you know that P is 1000x more than O.

I see, the only clicker that I played a lot is CookieCliecker, it uses full names and it looks fine I would say

There is also the space constraint, getting to quadrillions you need "QD", and then undecillion needs "UnD", it just requires a bit too much space than I can afford
