Nice trading game. It took me a minute to figure things out, but then the interface was quite readable.

nice idea, liked it :)

Oh man. i feel like people who like economics and trading/crafting in online games would love this. but not exactly something i'm good at! lol

Nice idea. I think the randomness is too strict, though. I can't always make enough good trades to survive.

Thanks a lot for the comments. :)

@shashwat: I wholeheartedly agree. I never had time to balance it, so you're pretty dependant on a good spawning location. :(

Fun little trading game which is nice and simple to learn in a small amount of time.

Not bad, the card system was interesting but easy to manipulate at times.

Great work! trading stuff was fun, I missed some audio though :( other than that. very nice!

I don't really play card games but it doesn't hurt to try some once or twice a year right? :D :D :D

This game was quite a surprise for me and one can spend good time trading goods and traveling between planets. Also extra points for webGL :D

Lucked into a fuel + food cycle but otherwise was pretty hard to predict. Had quite a bit of complexity *thumbs up*

Needs a bit of grinding between two planets at start, but gets pretty fun after that. Could use a warning when one's about to their last fuel on a trip to a planet that doesn't sell fuel. But other than that, a really cool entry.

Hi there. Liked the interface and the cards mechanic for the trading. Shame no sounds. Good job.

Pretty cool, if you could expand upon this and everything it would be amazing!

Cards and randomness are two things I love in games :)

I had to restart a couple of times to get going, but it was very fun once I did. Would be cool to see it further developed.

Interesting game, though the starting point makes a difference, sometimes making the game unplayable and others with an easy to find exploit. Then the issue becomes one of repetitively mining the exploit. It would be great if fuel was treated as a separate resource, so it wouldn't occupy a card slot, and that the mechanics were not subject to said exploits. Great job!
