Remnants by xbcw

Instructions
Can you get your colonists to New Earth to keep the species alive?
Choose three cards per turn which match the number and color of the card categories on the top right. Click ASSIGN to fight space penguins, plagues, mutinies, and escape pulsars in space!
Different bosses need to be beaten with different combinations of political, martial, science, and overflow cards.
If you max out one of the first three categories, the overflow card objective is met - like colorless mana in Magic.
Winning the Game
Make it to New Earth and defeat the boss!
Losing the Game
You immediately lose if your HULL or POPULATION reach zero.

However when I got to the final level I just got ultimately destroyed where the levels before I thought I was doing well, but maybe I wasn't doing well and that's why I got killed so quickly in the end.
either way it was a fun game and the last level music is totally jamming. I started bopping my head listening to it hahha.
I got the general concept but I didn't know what was going on...
I think I would really enjoy a polished version of this game. I really like it but it needs more UI to tell the player what is going on and what you should do!
