Really awesome! Thank you! BUt why not have an objective like "collect 500 packets of data." after which a new level could offer another challenge. I'd replay if I were trying to accomplish more.
I think it's fairly easy to get 5000 in sandbox mode with this configuration... 1-68944160-16 However, I didn't get the badge yet for what could be a buggy reason.
I had to take a break from playing it here on my first time through. THIS IS AWESOME!!! There are A LOT of really smart ideas in this game! Thank you so much!
