You missed out on the "bee" pun, but you sure capitalized on the "braincloud" portmanteau. :) My hippo didn't achieve outer space, but he sure tried. Eventually all the meta-investments put him into integer-rollover territory, and he couldn't buy stuff with his sudden -895872581-credit debt. But darned if he didn't try. It was fun! As a non-space-achieving loser, part of me wants to break out the space lasers and tunnel through to victory. But I understand if hippos have strict moral objections regarding the use of space lasers of any frequency. PS - This was fun. Enjoyed your sense of humor and the graphic style.

Thanks for playing and the kind words <3
Hippos are actually hyper violent, right? I'm sure these guys would have no problems with lasers if they could get their big ol hooves around the trigger. I, however, have strict moral obligations about creating games that ask the player to solve problems with violence. So I try not to make games where the player achieves their goal by shooting, fighting, or killing other things. That's why the dragon scale catcher says it's humane. Mostly. ;)
