The Deck doesn't do anything at the moment. I originally was going to do something with it, but I opted in the end to not really do anything. A future version will probably show information about the cards or something, but...
@TeoSK: I've seen that a game that goes quick usually works best for Ludum Dare, hence the insta-death. But if I do a longer running version of it, I'll certainly keep that in mind!
@pinkemma @belowparallel-ian The ship shouldn't be invisible, nor should the asteroids... Strange, I will look in to it and let you know. You could also try it on the Itch.IO page, it might be a bit smoother there... Or just download the Windows EXE, which should work 100%.
@morphine: There are upgrades for the turning speed. I need to play with the frequency somewhat, but, well, balance is hard... I'll also probably make it more obvious for a future build, but that will be easier with artwork that I don't have to design on my own, or use unicode.
@aterlamia: That is certainly the plan should I continue. The first order of business is better graphics for the ship and likely asteroid. The cards were the last part I developed, it could certainly be fun to continue with it some.
@jfraser314: It's pretty high on my list of things to do to improve the motion of the dust clouds... I guess there's a very simple thing I could do and should have done, but... Sigh. Time and lack of rest...
@nilstastic: The cards do something, either store for money or use them for upgrades. But I agree that isn't particularly clear... Hmmm...
I like the concept overall, although it is a bit tricky to figure out what to do from time to time. Still, it was a very interesting concept, and a great use of the theme!

Very interesting game, I like the art style. It is a bit confusing, especially with the hand written text, but that is part of the flavor I suppose.
Nice game overall! I understand that there are few levels due to the limited time, but still neat. It seems a bit hard to go through the straight wall at the beginning, also I found that I was stuck in the upper right hand corner of the Tutorial level somehow, and couldn't move. Could be fun to continue for sure!
Interesting concept, I definitely ran in to a few bugs along the way... The fact you are in a tutorial mode to begin with isn't super obvious, maybe allowing a click on screen to continue or something would be better.
I really like this concept. It was a bit confusing at first, I suspect the ability to attack from the first turn shouldn't be there, but still, well done!
Nice game, simple enough to learn, but works well overall. Well done!
I played it, and just figured it out as I died and had to move on to the next game. I really like the flow of the movement and the mood of this game, although the gameplay is a bit trickier. Still, well done! https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=9m8s
I like the game overall, it would be nice if it would keep the dialog open. It was a bit confusing to start with. Take a look at my video below for an idea of what I experienced.

Let me preface this with I am not a poker player. I loved the humor and the idea of the game in general. I found it difficult because I don't play poker, but that's okay. See my recording of it below.
https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=25m30s
Nice game, but definitely a bit Skinner box. But I suspect that was the point. It was a bit confusing if you didn't fire on the dirt plot, maybe a way to recover seeds?
https://youtu.be/10y6Mij3ee8?t=45m30s
There seems to be a bit of a bug, hold down the mouse button and you will fire quite a bit easier. The game is nice overall, and an interesting test of a new concept. Well done overall! https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=18m36s
I liked it, but it certainly requires a bit of a nerd to play it. There's a lot of potential here, but a lot of quality of life things should go in to it before that day. You might get a feel for some of them by watching the video I recorded of me playing your game.
https://youtu.be/10y6Mij3ee8?t=24m31s
This is a bit confusing, to say the least. Still, you did manage the theme, and that is something!
I like the game, although it is a bit too easy. What happened with the crazy dance thing? Seriously?
https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=30m29s
Nice! I kept trying to figure out why I kept dying, and then I noticed the other bars. Well done overall!
Interesting start. It was really confusing to know how to get new resources, it seems the panning isn't as optimal as it could be. Still, not bad for a game jam!
I won't post a full review, but I tried playing this game, and failed. See https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=36s
Well done overall. I like the mixture between the two, not two that you would normally find, but it worked well. Well done!
https://youtu.be/10y6Mij3ee8?t=53m18s
Interesting game. I did enjoy it, although it isn't really the type of game that I normally play. See my video at https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=4m56s
It's an interesting start, but doesn't quite seem to be there. Could be interesting when it gets better finished! Streamed at https://youtu.be/10y6Mij3ee8?t=13m11s
I like the idea. The movement is probably a bit slow. Well done with the theme! https://youtu.be/10y6Mij3ee8?t=18m44s
It didn't seem to work in Firefox, but worked just fine in Edge. I like the game overall, the slight twist on Flappy Bird. I didn't realize you had to catch the ball first! I made it to 4, which I guess is good enough!
https://youtu.be/10y6Mij3ee8?t=41m24s
Interesting game, I like the overall feel, and especially how you can "Scorched Earth" the projectiles. I'm not quite sure how this fit the theme, but I agree that it could be a solid commercial game!
https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=40m4s
It's an interesting concept, but like most text based adventures of old gets a bit tiring. There seems to be a bit much back and forth. Still, it looks really interesting, and is certainly an interesting concept!
Looks pretty neat for a start. Well done!
Very interesting. It sure wasn't the easiest thing to do, but I like the challenge of painting like this. Well done!
This game is insane! I mean, flappy bird is hard, but playing it and trying to drive at the same time? The graphics look great for a jam game! The driving part wasn't super clear as to what the objective was, and it was a bit difficult to find the screen to play flappy bird on. Still, well done! https://youtu.be/U15_YlyCNqY?t=14m45s
So using the left button to navigate is very strange, to say the least... Not really sure what the point is either... Add some instructions to your description, and I'll change my score accordingly.
