Most fun I've had so far easily. Super well made. I had a lot of fun trying to throw the heart into the goal and trying to do loopdeloops with the heart. Fuck the pigeons.

squirmonkey 2020-04-20 03:15

@nick-barrash Those pigeons suck, every drone operator's worst nightmare! Glad you enjoyed it :D

splicedev 2020-04-20 03:18

Was pretty fun to play.

madbookstudios 2020-04-20 03:18

Really well made, love the voice-over. The music is maybe a bit too jolly? Still nice thought. Well done!

garett-cooper 2020-04-20 03:19

That was a lot of fun, I found the drone controls to be a bit sluggish but I assume that was by design. Well done!

martintale 2020-04-20 03:20

So far the best game I played from this jam :) Great job and good luck ;)

stevis93 2020-04-20 03:20

This game was amazing. Spend a good 10 minutes just trying to throw the heart in the air and catch it again. Who the hell shoots down drones with snipers? Don't they know we are trying to save lives?!

rjerez192 2020-04-20 03:21

The most fun I've played so far. I loved the narrator and the pigeons OMG. I anything I think I would add more levels.

zwodahs 2020-04-20 03:23

This reminds me of flappy bird. Nice work :D

squirmonkey 2020-04-20 03:23

@splicedev Glad you liked it!

@madbookstudios Haha yeah, I was going for a superhero kinda sound, like "here I come to save the day!" kinda thing. Not a musician though, did what I could. Glad you liked it

@garett-cooper Yeah, the drone controls accelerate it, so they can be slow, especially if you're already moving the other way. This is by design, so that it's possible to keep the heart in the basket. And to encourage applying the controls with a gentle touch so you dont end up going too fast and unable to change directions. Glad you enjoyed it :smile:

blackopsben 2020-04-20 03:24

I kept dropping the heart! THis cracks me up! well done!

jetthesimon 2020-04-20 03:24

Super fun! Loved the jokes at the start of each level! "Oh my god, they send snipers". Haha, great job!

fussenkuh 2020-04-20 03:24

I couldn't help but laugh as my heart container was doing 360s around my drone while I fought to avoid pigeons! Fun was had. A few of my hearts were successfully delivered. Pigeons are my new worst enemy. Great job!

mrfluffysheep 2020-04-20 03:26

First game I've played where I laughed a lot because of the narration. Great voice over and I love the art. Excellent well made game!!!!

viniflores 2020-04-20 03:26

That is the most fun game that i tried untill now too, good job man, a little bit too hard though, and also loved that you recorded your voice for the instructions hahahah

dnp 2020-04-20 03:28

Man this game is hard. When that box starts really swinging around there's no stopping it. The voice lines are hilarious and its very satisfying when you complete a level. The hospitals should really rethink their heart carrier design.

sayumeki 2020-04-20 03:28

You had me starting from that title!

It's way too satisfying accidentally making the heart do a loop-de-loop around your drone as you're frantically trying to dodge snipers, only to eject the heart from the bucket by accident, watching it fly in an arc towards the goal, and desperately swing the bucket to give it the extra little push in. In short, I think that was the ideal gameplay experience.

The parallax background looked great and I thought the visual styling of the game was good. The tutorial was spot-on, and the controls felt just about right for a physics game. Great work!

alex-chrome 2020-04-20 03:29

Nice game! Repeating cut scene on level restart is a bit annoying tho, and I hate pigeons now, thanks!

zzox 2020-04-20 03:31

Dug this, very innovative and fun to play. I really liked the voices, good call recording those! Wasn't too hard until the pigeons, would love to see someone talented speedrun this.

forevertrash 2020-04-20 03:32

Super funny, the only entry that's kept me entertained for 5+ minutes so far. Nice artwork, wild physics. Keep up the good work bro.

piko-monde 2020-04-20 03:34

Okay, it is soo much fun.. Simple physics makes the game fun to play.. Nice!

Love the funny detail about your voice, yes, who carry heart like that? And who will shoot the drone carrying heart.. Fun game!

psychic-ash 2020-04-20 03:35

best game so far.

Things you did right.

First, you included the pck file with the build. Thank you. Next, your manner in which you handled the first level. You didn't start the timer, you gave all the important information right away in a way that wasn't information overload. Great way to include a "tutorial" level without feeling like I"m jumping through hoops.

By far the best game I've played so far this LD.

greytyphoon 2020-04-20 03:38

Very good & fun game! That basket just goes everywhere you don't want it to. The voiceovers were the touch of perfection on top, they really took the game to the next level. Very well done!

anchoredtoad 2020-04-20 03:43

Niice!

squirmonkey 2020-04-20 03:53

Oh my gosh, wow so many comments. Thank you all so much for playing, and I'm glad you enjoyed!

@martintale Glad you liked it!

@stevis93 I love when you lose the heart, but then catch it again! Also seriously, whoever the patient is, they must have a lot of enemies. Thanks for playing!

@rjerez192 Haha thanks! I would have liked more levels, and more types of obstacles too. But time constrained me, and I was pretty tired of making levels by the end of it.

@zwodahs Thanks for playing! Flappy bird is definitely one of the inspirations for this game. Level 6 is designed specifically to look like flappy bird. I considered using the voiceover on that level to make a reference to it, but decided against it.

@blackopsben It cracks me up too, I thought I would get tired of it, but watching the heart rolling around is too good. Thanks for playing!

@jetthesimon Thanks for playing! Glad you appreciated my sense of humor. They sent snipers? Who does that?!

@fussenkuh Something about the pigeons and the heart and the twirling is just really absurd. I especially like when one of the pigeons gets in the basket and carries you away! Thanks for playing!

@mrfluffysheep It fills my heart to hear you like the art. I feel like I've really improved there over the past few ldjams, and kinda thought I nailed it this time. Thanks for playing!

@viniflores Glad you enjoyed it. You're right that it's challenging. I wanted there to be hard levels, because people said my last compo game was too easy (lol). But I didn't have time to make enough levels to have a smooth difficulty curve, so it suddenly gets really hard around the pigeons level. Thanks for playing!

@dnp Yeah, it can be pretty tricky, especially when you get hit. And you're right, would a lid have been so much to ask for? Thanks for playing, glad you liked the voiceover!

@sayumeki Haha, glad you enjoyed it! It's very satisfying when the heart flies out, but you're able to save it :smile: . I'm thrilled to hear you liked the background, I liked it too, but was a little worried it would be distracting.

@alex-chrome Thanks for playing! And yeah, that's one of those things where I just couldn't tell if it was going to be annoying or not, and decided to leave it in, sorry it bothered you!

@zzox Glad you liked it! I had a lot of fun recording the voices. It's always amusing to listen to a playback of your own voice and think "No, not gravelly enough, better redo that one". The difficulty curve definitely spikes at level 3. Honestly, the snipers are easier than the pigeons, but it didn't seem right to swap the order. And to any speedrunners out there, you can start flying as soon as the level loads, even before the camera sweep is done, as long as you can fly blind!

@forevertrash Glad you enjoyed it, and particularly heartened to hear praise for the artwork, that's definitely something I'm proud of my improvement in.

squirmonkey 2020-04-20 03:59

@piko-monde Thanks for playing! Glad you enjoyed it. And yeah, probably putting a lid on the basket would have been a smart idea, I'll pass your feedback along to the hospital :smile:

@psychic-ash Glad you liked it! I don't know what a pck file is, but I figured everything that gets generated should be included.

@greytyphoon Thanks for playing! Why can't that darned basket just stay still? My only regret is not being able to have my voiceover sound more like the guy from XCOM.

@anchoredtoad Thanks for playing!

binroot 2020-04-20 04:21

I ended up with some pretty fancy drone back-flips trying to catch my falling heart! Very polished and very well done! Great work!

drprettypatty 2020-04-20 04:26

didn't run into many bugs and the idea is simple and fun. the game definitely lets you take out your frustration with being bad at it in fun ways by letting you swing the heart around ha. maybe it's just a skill thing on my part, but i think it would be even more fun if it was possible to get through the level faster, or if the rigid swinging was more rope-like. nice job!

kromeboy 2020-04-20 04:44

My best strategy so far is to slingshot the load from one side to the other of the levels :-)

kinshuk-thebest 2020-04-20 05:04

Love the audio and artstyle! nice

honest 2020-04-20 05:40

MAKES US LOL

ofirma85 2020-04-20 06:32

Amazing game! The physics are satisfying, especially when the heart spins around the drone. The game is very challenging and the narration is a 10/10.

retti01 2020-04-20 07:06

well made. love voice.:D

evolving 2020-04-20 07:18

Pretty fun and interesting to play game)

ironygames 2020-04-20 07:58

Hi, can you please narrate my life please?

Surprisingly fun. It has that moonlander feel / fun frustration to it, and very funny too. It has a lot of potential!

I found a bug where you could get above the ceiling clouds but not get back below them.

plantleaf 2020-04-20 08:09

Awesome game. I found the snipers a fun challenge. it added some gameplay that you don't see too much in other games. The art was really well made and the levels were very well designed. The music also fits the game really well and it was a pleasure to listen to. Great job!

corporation 2020-04-20 08:50

Sooo good to control, really fun to play. Also music is pretty cool, and ofcourse voice acting)) really amazing work!

jonahsenzel 2020-04-20 08:53

a bit hard but fun!

jiri-hysek 2020-04-20 10:18

Cool game! I like how you introduce new enemies by voiceover. Mechanics is fun but I'm glad they doesn't transport organs in opened boxes :) I wasted too many hearts :)

hastro 2020-04-20 10:36

Loved it, super satisfying to fly around. It's awesome when your payload is going crazy and you just barely make it.

sneakycocoon 2020-04-20 11:31

Pigeon level is too hard :rofl: I love the feeling of throwing the heart up and attempt a last minute catch. Had lots of fun being a drone operator :thumbsup: Also you can make use of centrifugal force and swing the basket around. Hilarious

akusan 2020-04-20 11:51

Excellent game! Really fits the theme with good humor and game play. It has quirky controls and physics but that's what makes it fun. Thanks for sharing!

ssstormy 2020-04-20 12:45

*Niiiceeeee*

Solid stuff overall! I feel that the art was a bit lacking but can't put my finger on what it was exactly.

Controlling the drone was challenging and nicely designed!

vex 2020-04-20 13:55

Hilarious emergent gameplay. I love the wacky heart physics, and trying to fling it across the level is the most fun - or attempting to catch it again after being pigeoned.

danielrmorgan 2020-04-20 14:50

I could play this for hours absolutely amazing

wzqxrys 2020-04-20 15:11

Absolutely spot on! Theme, Setting and voiceovers :ok_hand: Those moments when you drop the heart THEN CATCH IT AGAIN! fantastic.

cjgammon 2020-04-20 15:18

very well done. polished game and gameplay. those pigeons are tough! was able to balance it with the basket upside down which was funny and stressful! excellent game.

goutye 2020-04-20 15:21

Excellent! Had a good laugh! All patients survived ! :smile:

k4v0x 2020-04-20 15:22

Bastardly pigeons! One time, one of them got lodged inbetween the drone and the basket, and carried me all the way back to the start! It was really fun balancing the basket on top of the drone in the end screen. Great game!

tomeks 2020-04-20 15:49

Such a nice entry, so entertaining to play.

polypickle 2020-04-20 17:25

Fun one, and the voice over is great too. Well done!

squirmonkey 2020-04-20 17:39

Wow, the response here has been overwhelming. Thank you all so much for playing!

bigassopper 2020-04-20 18:34

Really fun to play! it has this nice voice acting sounds to guide us and the difficult is perfect

jusw85 2020-04-20 19:21

I beat the game! Looks like a patient is going to survive.

I loved the art, mechanics, and humourous voice overs. Art was clean, and mechanics was tuned just right. Parallax backgrounds were a nice touch. I felt twisty passages level was much too hard, I spent the most time on that. Maybe I got lucky but I cruised through the next two stages.

edearth 2020-04-20 19:28

Fucking pidgeons man. Heroically recovered the heart in middle air after avoiding a sniper shot and just when I was dropping the heart at the destination, a pidgeon headbutted the heart out of the goal and grabbed the basket, pulling me away. Horrible game.

Just kidding, I loved it hahaha. Really fun to play!

hacktrout 2020-04-20 20:43

Well put together game, the voiceover was funny, the art was great and the physics was fun!

taran-unraveler 2020-04-20 21:15

the mechanics, the graphics, the voice and music. Don't know where to start from. This game is really well made. Enjoyed it. Had a lot of fun making the heart fall and trying to catch it on the fly. Well done!

hulien22 2020-04-20 22:38

Great game! Absolutely loved the voice at the beginning of each level

thor-lucas 2020-04-21 00:08

Lol! Very fun! The voice over was very funny :) I think the basket physics could use a little help — it didnt feel quite "right" to me. But that just takes a little tweaking of physics parameters. Not a hugee fan of the art-style but that’s entirely subjective. Overall I spent way longer on this than I probably should have haha, good job!

divic 2020-04-21 00:23

Hey more heart delivery games!!! Very well done physics; everything feels like it has a good weight to it.

2020-04-21 00:47

I enjoyed trying out this game. The physics and audio makes it really fun. :smile: I usually delivered just the drone and not the heart, but hey, I tried. Well done!

bmacintosh 2020-04-21 01:10

I loled at "They sent snipers!" Quality humor. I would have liked to be able to use 'R' to reset from the Game Over screen so I don't have to reach for my mouse.

dougdevs 2020-04-21 01:25

Fun!

mhykah 2020-04-21 01:27

I wasn't good enough to get through all the levels but what I played was fun! Great job!

robert-li 2020-04-21 02:11

Fantastic mechanic. Nice job on creating a fun gameplay with such simple mechanics...

dooskington 2020-04-21 02:35

heck yes

trace 2020-04-21 02:47

very unique concept, I'm kinda jealous of people who can come up with ideas like this that quickly.

mmason 2020-04-21 03:01

difficult to control but still felt fair

tri11paragon 2020-04-21 03:05

i enjoyed this. didn't get past the third level though

blake-freer 2020-04-21 03:16

This is simple yet exciting game to play. The physics are hilarious and the narration made me laugh! I managed to make my way past snipers and pigeons and save the patient! Very well done

caveman54 2020-04-21 03:35

Great game I loved every moment that I played. Thank you for the experience.

jeremy-ryan 2020-04-21 05:02

Really solid game, and hilarious premise! I managed to pass the first sniper level by just flying over everything, then jostling the heart out of the basket at the end.

corruptor2037 2020-04-21 05:26

That damn bird just get into my box and dragged me away! Fun game, like physics interactions

horus 2020-04-21 05:40

The voice acting is wonderful. It adds a flavour with the sort of feeling you've managed to build. It's quite fun to try to use the physics of the bucket and rigid ropes with a heart. such a fun concept. Good job!

welliton 2020-04-21 05:44

Cool game! It was pretty hard do drone some stages, but in the end, no pegeons and snipers could catch the drone master! Congratulations!

flamus 2020-04-21 07:38

Cool game, clean and solid graphics. Good entry!

simukas 2020-04-21 08:08

OMG, this game is hilarious! This is amazing!

erebus 2020-04-21 09:52

Amazing submission. Put the biggest smile on my face playing it. Thanks for bringing it by the stream!

victor-reiner 2020-04-21 13:50

Simple but very effective. Funny! Great job

bereg 2020-04-21 15:15

Very funny game, I like the physics and the voice acting.

anstabo 2020-04-21 15:32

GIVE ME BACK MY HEART!! untitled.png

sadzanenyama 2020-04-21 16:37

Funny game with a unique gameplay concept. Good job! Those damn pigeons are so annoying!

peteywoufes 2020-04-21 17:24

The narration sold it.

jlv 2020-04-21 21:17

Great premise and fun gameplay ! I really loved how your managed to make something so self-explanatory yet with such a steep difficulty curve.

Strenghts : - Tight controls, straightforward gameplay, constant challenge. What's there not to love ? - Loved the voice acting too ;)

Possibe improvements : - Do not show again the initial camera displacement on restart (like in the second level)

Awesome entry !

garys 2020-04-21 22:19

Gotta be my favourite entry so far, just on sheer gameplay. I couldn't get past the first sniper level, but I kept at it again and again... sometimes it was hilarious just watching what the heart could end up doing. Really solid entry. Only thing of note is that you can start moving your drone before the camera has tracked back when restarting a level. Although that had some funny results too. Great game.

keybol 2020-04-22 06:47

this is frustratingly hard and funny haha. This will do well on mobile I believe. and nice take on the drone aesthetic definitely best way of implementation with controls and flight!

lesinvisible 2020-04-22 10:50

Bizarre mechanic at first but it's addictive and innovative. I like it.

ytaha 2020-04-22 16:06

This was so damn good it's addictive. Finished it. The simple physics mechanics were soo hooking. There were times I did some stunts by chance, throwed the heart at the air and catched it and I am pretty sure most people experienced those kinds of stuff.

Just one small thing, it would be better if you didn't show the camera animation every single time. Maybe just at the start of each level once. It can get annoying course I die a lot haha

Well, you deserve the number 1 in my opinion :P Keep up the good work!

justin-c 2020-04-22 22:20

Fun little physics game with a funny theme.

darottio 2020-04-22 23:22

Definetely funnest game so far. Also drone operator is the new master chief in my book

kiln 2020-04-23 00:52

Great audio. Took me a second to understand that you need to try to lift off a few times. Had a cool time where a pigeon knocked the heart out but I caught it again. Not a bad concept overall, the liftoff was the only thing I had some issues with.

philliptrudeau 2020-04-23 10:16

Pretty funny little game. As with most physics games, it's actually quite finnicky, but overall the decent production value rounds out the experience. And, of course, that pun in the title is unforgivable.

thekingbarry 2020-04-23 11:15

Excellent idea, perfectly in the theme ! The physics of it is a bit difficult to grasp sometimes but it's fun and has some great ideas ! Congrats !

coatline 2020-04-23 18:55

That was a lot of humorous fun! I loved the voice that congratulated you when you beat a level. The only thing that is annoying is at the beginning of every attempt at a level you have to wait for the camera to scroll in order to see your drone. Good job.

recursor 2020-04-23 19:46

It's a neat idea for a physics-based game and kudos for using Godot! The graphics are very nice and it provides just enough challenge to make me want to keep trying until I finish the level. Nice job.

azo 2020-04-23 19:52

really fun, still managed to give players good control over the basket while keeping it feeling realistic/physicsy. Great JOb!

shawn-moore 2020-04-24 00:09

Well shit, that went about as well as my real life drone experiences go.

I love it when an absolutely absurd game takes itself seriously. The snipers were a brilliant touch.

The only constructive feedback I can offer is that it'd be better if the R key worked to advance past the "try again" screen, so you don't have to switch between the keyboard and the mouse just for that. Everything was just great. Very clever idea!

g-a-gamestudio 2020-04-24 03:11

Why don't they just put a lid on the container holding the heart? Either way game was amazing. I rated 5 stars on every category.

g-a-gamestudio 2020-04-24 03:11

The game is good as is.

elbapotsnugg 2020-04-26 14:16

Amazing entry. Very humorous (voice acting had me cracking up every time). Flight is smooth and physics felt good. Great fun!

marcusnystrand 2020-04-28 16:58

Interesting game mechanic and pretty fun game play. A little bit annoying that the camera resets to some other position when you hit restart.

Overall solid and fun game, well done!

gama-11 2020-04-29 18:36

Pretty fun! But never make me pick up the mouse in a keyboard-based game. ;)

marcmagus 2020-04-30 15:49

Thanks for sharing your game with me to play on stream! If you'd like to watch again, the highlight is at https://www.twitch.tv/videos/606399372

I remember the controls were weird and awkward in a good challenge/interesting way. Well done.

wabble 2020-05-09 23:13

Very amusing! A bit hard to control just how i like it!
