In Space An... Island by Sloan Kelly
An asymmetric trading card game where you control access to your resources.
You are a lonely planet floating in space. The worshipers who live on your surface have demands on the limited resources that your planet provides. They come to you with requests in the form of cards on the top of the screen. Over the millenia you have grown bored of letting them have everything and have decided to use cards yourself. Just to spice things up. After all -- it's your body they feast on!
Using the cards in your deck, you have to ensure that your resources are not depleated too far. Once two resources reach zero it's game over for you and the little worshipers that call you home.

Good thing that you included a manual in the game (I didn't on my previous entry.. There was some confusion :D), though I noticed that in HTML5 version the text doesn't fully fit, I also didn't get at first that I had to click at the text for the link to be opened, because it was the same font as the description text :)
Those funny speech samples in audio made me picture a bunch of little worshipers gathering around the island, good job on that - I loved the track, it really sets the atmosphere!
The concept and the execution are good and I loved the game, but I guess having more different kinds of cards could be great, but given the fact that it was a Compo game it isn't really an issue.
Overall a nice game, good job!
