Ha! I really like this concept. The vacuum cleaner was cute enough to make me care for him.
The drone was _very_ fragile and hard to control, this made it a good challenge and fun to play. The random room generation was a nice touch!
The vacuum sound became old very quickly and I would liked to see some more sound effects, like for example when the drone crashes! a bit of music would not hurt either. :laughing:
OVERAL: đź‘Ťvery well done by focusing on the gameplay, I enjoyed learning the controls and feeding the vacuum! this game has a lot of potential. in the future maybe you can add more obstacles like a cat who likes to hunt the drone or even more furniture.

It's like flying a real drone, I keep collecting the debris :-) It's a real challenging but fun game. Very good graphics!

nice, controlls are a little wonky (cannot explain what exactly tho). Cool game

Cool game! Very innovative idea!
Cool game and graphics ! I like th idea. The drone is too fragile but the crash animation is nice. Thanks !

Nice game exept that ctrl is a bad down button in a web game as ctrl R is book mark and ctrl something is shut down
@sode Yeah I realized that after I pushed it out. I did have an alternate key for that function with the 'C' button.
The controls as a whole could be better, I had a few different options.
Ahhh how do you give the battery to the vacuum?? Nice game. Procedural level generation was cool! Well done
@nick-barrash all you need to do is drop the battery in front of the vacuum and it will eat it! Once you do that a new battery will spawn in the same spot you got it from!

Seems fun , but Ctrl messes with the browser a lot :( Other than that, the controls are simple to learn and the concept is very original!

It's a very cute concept that fits the theme well, and it's fun to fly around :grin: Audio is kinda annoying though, and controls were a bit hard to use. Nice job :smile:
This is the smart home apocalypse. Anyway, controls were a tad slow, but than again drowns are a pain to control so perhaps its accurate. The room and sound effects were perhaps a bit bland. Overall though its a very well rounded piece of work for such a short time frame.

Hard to control, but when I get the controls under control its stars be fun :)
original idea about new tech gadgets and stuff :) Simple 3D graphics works well :) I like it :)

I like how the drone flights. It's a bit challenging at first, but in a good way. Graphics are great, but sounds become repetitive after some time.
Great work!
This was pretty interesting. I really like the idea here, I could see playing a complete version of this. Nice work!

Nice entry, I feel like this game have a lot of potential and could be something really amazing if you had more than two days to develop it. I have a few points though:
• The controls are a bit laggy, it takes a while for the drone to respond after you start moving. Not necessarily a bad thing, it makes the game a bit more challenging, but you can increase the difficulty in other ways without messing up the controls.
• The game punishes way too hard, I have a health bar on the side of the screen that is just for show, the drone breaks immediately after one hit, come on allow me to make more mistakes and hit more stuff please.
• The sound is great but it repeats a lot, after a while it ended up being quite annoying and stressful.
Those are just minor details that could easily be solved with more time for play testing and designing, it doesn't make the game unplayable or bad in anyway. Great work!
@hcursino Thank you for the kind words and wonderful feedback! Controls are something I wish I would have spent more time tightening up. Along with a more forgiving crash model that would drain drone battery rather than just make the thing explode (however I did enjoy it at the time when it would crash into a bunch of pieces!). I agree that the sound is repetitive. I recorded it all with my own devices and that is on me for not getting more done! Again thanks for taking the time for the wonderful feedback!
Interesting game! Like someone else mentioned the controls did feel a bit weird, also for some reason the ctrl key doesn't play nice with my browser. The graphics looks very good, but the audio does get a bit repetitive.
