good music, game feed good overall. took me a bit too long to figure out what to do.
I liked the different types of probes. It was a little hard at first to figure out what to do, but I picked it up pretty quick. Nice work.
I though about mass effect 2 when mining. Nice implementation.
The game would be nice, if there were more things to do :) Like some upgrades or something, hope you'll add some soon, cause the concept is really interesting. And these probe types are fun
Hahaha! Is this a Mass Effect planetary mining parody? :P Cool idea, I do like it, but it's not super fun... But then ME's mining was crap too and they probably spent a million bucks on it :P
Really nice mechanics, i love it!
It's a nice concept, but it gets old pretty fast due to there not being enough variety...
Nice game mechanics, and fairly intuitive. Good take on the theme :) Not a fan of the music though.
I would definitely come back for an extended version with probe upgrades, better graphics and more polish.
Nice idea; make it into a solar system that you explore, add some resource management, and you got yourself a bigger game here!
Love the music, the gameplay is interesting and innovative, its a nice game !
Good music, nice racoon !
Cool idea. I could never seem to win though.
Really fun concept! My only complaint is that it's hard to remember what's valuable and what's not. It would be good to have a visual cue, or a handy cheatsheet on the screen at all times. I think this has the potential to be fleshed out into a bigger game.
Well done!
I feel like it needs an animation for the mining probe. Otherwise nice simple timewaster.
I really like almost everything.
Downs:Graphics are cute but the different values of the fruits need to be more recognisable by their images or there should be at least some kind of info about them on the game screen. Controls are bad, it would be cool to select probes with the keyboard WASD? (maybe on a touchscreen it can work as it is right now). The gameplay could be better with more difference between the sweeper and the seismic probe. make sweeper more random and seismic more sweeper. :D
Ups: Concept and mechanics are awesome. They are also fitting the theme perfectly. And the music is just great, I want to keep playing because of it.
Thanks+
Hello fellow newgroundser! Fun game and cool idea, the effests of the probes worked really well.
Easy and simple game! I do like different scan probes.
nice and simple, I like the laid back style of this, and (: for the music
Intersting concept. liked a lot. The music irritates me, though - not the same mood as the game.
Like the overall look!
Yay, a top score of 18600.
Should've added a bonus for clearing the whole planet. The game also calculated the score incorrectly if you managed to get a fruit on your last turn (it didn't count towards total score). The UI was pretty unintuitive, and I would've preferred if the tool didn't deselect after using it. The fruits sometimes stuck out of the planet too, made me grin a bit.

Mining fruits in a planet? That is weird!
Nice music and interesting game mecanism.
Hi. Interesting idea, made me think of geophysics team on TimeTeam... ! Needs a secondary game alongside I think, perhaps this sort of resource gathering would fit in a craft/build type game ?
I enjoyed this one. Pretty straightforward. It would be interesting to see it expanded on a little - different planets, running a space mining business, etc.
What does the raccoon do? I dunno! But it's awesome. Nice use of the theme and a really original idea. I like the idea of balancing discovery tools vs. retrieval tools. Wish I had a better sense of which fruits were worth more though - I basically forgot as soon as I started playing.
Good feel of the game. Pretty simple and decent overall :)
Come and see the new version of our submarine engineer :D
This reminded me off mass effect 2, where i scanned every planet^^ Had a lot of fun and played several rounds.
