Why do aliens want to invade earth?

Heyo

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.

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 :)
