How it fits the themes
Orbital Mining is a game in which you must collect minerals (playing cards) while preventing the planet's temperature from reaching 0°C, causing the ice to melt and the planet to collapse.

This is a great game! I can see you put a lot of work and attention to it. The music and sound effects are pretty good and I love the idea for this game. I'm not very familiar with these types of games but the tutorial was clear and helped me through the game and the rest was pretty self-explanatory.
Thank you :)
Awesome game! Looks very polished, I like that it's easy to learn but gets more difficult as the game progresses. Very good visuals and audio too!
Thanks a lot :D
Wow!! This is an interesting game, I think the music and sfx really fit the game and I love how you're only allowed to place 2 out of the 4 cards from each draw, it forces you to stratergise on which card you need most at the time as the next draw might not have what you need. I think the leaderboard is a really neat touch, it adds encouragement to get higher scores (as demonstrated by cloud lol).
One thing that I personally think would be a good add: some sort of variance as you increase levels. I did notice that the temperature is passed on from the previous level (an awesome way to implement gradual difficulty increase btw), but it does end up a bit tedious. If this is something added in higher levels please ignore this - I've only managed to get to level 3 or 4.
Overall, I think this is a great submission!! The idea aligns great with the theme and I love how you have to think about every choice you make.
Beside the themperature, the card values keep increasing at every level… =)
cool!
Thank you!
