I tried the HTML5 link and it didn't work (got a 404 from itch.io).

Sorry, it was wrong setting in itch.io. Fixed.

Cool idea! I like the simulation aspect with little people moving around. I think the controls might have been more intuitive if right key moved the drone to the right from its perspective, not map global right.

I like a lot the idea!

Interesting idea! The gameplay feels a bit stiff and slow, I think that adding a bit of accelleration and smoothing to the drone could fix that (both to the turning and movement). I would have liked to have a better idea of where the drone is located relative to the ground, such as a drop shadow. The lack of collision on buildings and trees makes the drone feel a bit disconnected from the world. Also, I stopped receiving plastic bottles after the first truck, so it was a very short experience. Otherwise a good job on completing the jam, the game fits the theme very well!

A very wholesome idea!

Having unlimited cargo space on the drone made it a bit too easy to collect and recycle all bottles. Unfortunately, I didn't get any more bottles after the first truck.

I liked how all people flocked to the first truck at the same time. I really like your interpretation of the theme.

The perspective style is quite interesting, and the idea of recycling is nice. I noticed an issue where the drone would get stuck if one lands outside the map. As someone else said, a shadow or something to indicate the drones position would be a nice addition. Nice idea, nice style!

Interesting idea, nice to get some recycling action! It took a little bit to get used to the perspective, but after a while that wasn't a problem.

Oh no, if you go outside the area and try to collect, the drone seems to get stuck!

I guess the loop is the life cycle of bottles? Well done, nice to see something a little bit different

Pretty nice graphics! If there's one thing I'd change, it'd be to add some kind of indicator as to where the drone is going to come down.

I like the sound of the water bottle pick up, at first it looked like zombies and I was trying to get the people. I got stuck going off the map and then trying to pick up :) but fun to fly around great job!!!

You really should add some kind of shadow, it's pretty hard to see where the drone is.
