Why do aliens want to invade earth?

Aliens in Captain Soda really love shiny things. It's why they invaded! They wanted to steal the world's money... for what purpose? Who really knows. What we do know is that if they collect enough money they become shiny themselves and turn gold!
Somehow, enemies will drop more money than they picked up when they become gold... Like some kind of oyster that creates more sand instead of pearls, except that sand is money.
Watch on YouTube I thought this would be a fun little mechanic to add to the game that ties in with the lore, while also having a fun little nuance to money.
Thanks for reading! Have a good day :)

Original postYo

If ever the game crashes, rather than a default error message you'll get a special message like this one! I added some fun text/ascii art to crash messages. This is just something that should make it a bit more fun to encounter a crash, and is a gift to those unlucky enough to crash. There's a few different ones it can pick, which it will do randomly, so if you want to see them, you gotta crash 'em all, I guess?
If you have some fun ideas for more text art I can include, post it here! I may just add it :)
