This game is fun but extremely difficult (I got at most 90m, which can be reached in a few seconds). The controls feel a bit weird at the beginning, but the they start to make sense after a few trials.

The (clouds?) at the top seemed quite low and the margin for error is small. I would suggest raising the ceiling a bit to make it easier, and possibly changing the camera angle to something like first person or at least putting the camera not centered on the drone but a bit ahead of it (so that you can see what's coming next)

Good job!

PS: you really need to go and rate (many) more games to get more ratings!

When you realise this is just a very different version of Flappy Bird, the controls make sense. The game actually has a lot of potential. It might be worth taking a lesson from Flappy Bird - when dying is easy and quick, restarting should be instantaneous.

The way you lose control is very unintuitive - why would a cloud kill your drone? You need to work on selling the concept.

Watch out for clipping planes.
