Nice graphics, sounds and controls. It's a well-polished game.

It took me a while to figure out that I have to push space to see my hand. Maybe make it clickable or show the controls(I might have missed them).

I liked the cheating mechanic but I wouldn't allow cheating if there is only one card left in hand. It feels too easy to win and very obvious if you would do it in real life.
