Ahoy Captain!

Thank for taking on the mission to explore the depth of space. Hopefully you'll find the planet you are so desperatly seaching for!

In this game, you use cards to combine with other cards to make more cards. Simple, right? You need to fly your spaceship to your target position. For this, you'll encounter different events, such as pirate attacks, ship wrecks and more.

Can you figure out how to proceed and how to reach your goal without dying? Good luck!

Info: We opted out of the graphics section, since most of the icons were from https://icones.js.org/. We did do a few icons ourself :)

Really like these kinda card-timer games great work! The money scaling seems really hard felt like i only once could buy a worker and otherwise i was just hanging with my duck, but really cool game!

Very cool idea! I really enjoyed this alchemy type of gameplay. SFX were not that great though. Also there is a problem when 2 merchants appear on screen: if one decides to disappear he also destroys trades of the other merchant :/ But overall I had a lot of fun!

Cool entry
A bit to slow at the beginning if you don't have a good merchand (or buy random stuff)
Maybe some of the item should appear later (like ducks, miner etc...).

It is fun but needs some refining. I like being able to organize the screen with my little cards however I want :)

Ahoy! Fun concept and i could see this growing into a vast strategy game. I think some kind of a log that reports what happened would help to learn and follow the game.

This was a pretty cool game! I like how it kind of has an idle feature to it. I set a worker on the flux capacitor and went to make tea, came back with 15 fuel! I feel like the timer on the pirates goes by a bit too quick, other than that I really enjoyed it.

Cool idea! Game was a bit slow and somewhat tedious, but liked the concept! Managed to win the game, although it was a bit of a grind to get there.

Nice work!

Fun stuff! I'd say either add more stuff or make it shorter, as once you start repeating things in the shop it starts getting a bit tedious. Really enjoyed organizing all my guys though!
