I have been spending more time than I care to admit playing this. Seriously. Hours on end. Possibly the most addictive game I've played since Tiny Wings. No idea why.
Got all the way to embarking on my iPad. Now I'm stuck! Wish I could transfer my game to my laptop.
If you turn on the remote web inspector (in Settings it's under Safari > Advanced), and then open Safari on a Mac, you can copy the game's save state (localStorage.gameState) to an instance of the game running on your computer.

Seriously... I just completed the spaceship sequence and I'm too mad to even react properly (per HN standards). I knew this was gonna happen and it did happen. Shame on me.
Agreed. A minute of dodging, ship goes zoom, and then a game reset. It'd be nice to at least see a summary of my resources, or a score, or anything.
Happy to know the game ends in the way that you described and I didn't miss anything.
In case anyone wants to accelerate the game slightly, but still play it as intended, set this in the Chrome console. window.Engine._incomeTimeout = setTimeout(Engine.collectIncome, 500) // default 1000 IMO it's not a cheat, because it just shortens somewhat tedious waiting early in the game, but doesn't alter it otherwise.

And Frog Fractions is worth checking out if you like Candy Box.
I don't get it. I liked A Dark Room and Candy Box, but hated Frog Fractions, which is completely unrelated.
Frog Fractions is much more linear, I suppose. You move from one game type to the next, instead of having multiple in parallel.

You can! I did the same thing. If you turn on the remote web inspector (in Settings it's under Safari > Advanced), and then open Safari on a Mac, you can copy the game's save state (localStorage.gameState) to an instance of the game running on your computer.

--- SPOILER ALERT --- Really enjoyed the game the whole way through, but I agree with other people on this thread, the ending (or lack of) kinda ripped my heart out. Glad I took some screenshots before flying off into space. http://bit.ly/17K3a1D - Building Screen http://bit.ly/12tUk37 - Production Screen http://bit.ly/17K3ldl - Dusty Path Screen (After getting Compass) http://bit.ly/14Eyk4u - Map Screen http://bit.l…

Yes, this was annoying enough that I eventually stopped. Two suggestions: 1) Add keyboard shortcuts, make them discoverable via an underlined character 2) increase the amount of space between the buttons so the tooltips appear over whitespace. That said, I played for hours before giving up! Had tons of fun, thanks for making this!
Keyboard shortcuts would probably make the game too easy. But I agree, any game that keeps me going for hours has to be great!
It would probably be ok with a mouse instead.
