Disclaimer: Contains no dwarves.
Go "fishing" for exotic resources on gas giants using the configurable DWARFS probes.
Controls: Works great with keyboard, mouse, or touch. Gamepad also works reasonably well.
Post-jam version has basically the same inner and outer gameplay, but greatly tweaks the balance and how they fit together to give more motivation to do well in the minigame and feel like you have more choice and a goal in the outer game.
If you complete the first planet, you will have seen probably more than enough of the game ^_^. Complete the second planet only if you're having fun or really want to get on the high score list ;)
