Beyond my imagination, I can operate two devices at the same time. Good idea!

Very unique concept.

This is a very cool concept - needing to adjust for the ping delay in my head as I watch my lil guy run around is challenging. At first, I didn't realize that was why it was delayed, until I, you know, read the text. I think it'd be cool if the controls on mobile were a bit bigger so that I could watch my computer screen while I press the buttons on my phone. I kept fat-fingering them and needing to look down to press the right one. The sound effects are great, also!

This is a really good idea! The ping is my internet in a nutshell

You're fit to pilot drones on Mars. :rofl:

Very good idea indeed!

Great concept, well done!

any kind of networking in a compo game is a huge achievement. Also Phaser is awesome. What a cool experience

Clever idea. I liked the ping time concept.

Wow, that contept is really cool. The ping makes it intense to operate the drone, I guess that's a bit like what rovers' operators feel in spatial agencies xD Art and sounds aren't that bad, I like them! Really well done!

Very interesting concept! Especially with the phone controls. Really emphasizes the feeling of remotely controlling something. First time playing a died immediately on entering the first portal cause I spawned right next to an enemy so maybe some tweaking still needs to be done. But very clever nonetheless!

Whoa, never seen a game utilize my phone like that, super idea. Well done!

Interesting control scheme, it's a cool concept which adds to the immersion. I didn't find the core game loop very interesting unfortunately, and although the ping idea is clever and realistic, it felt frustrating. Perhaps if the game was turn based it would be less so, or if you had a way of reducing your ping by investing in relay towers or something then it would be something the player could mitigate. All in all, a very innovative concept.

Interesting controls. I also liked delay of your inputs. If you create some interesting levels around the idea it would make for an interesting game. Very good entry.

Wow I have never seen such an unique concept of using your phone in connection with your pc browser! Also ping system is really fun because you need to feel when it is time to move your character.

Super cool! Loved the fact that I needed to plan my moves very accurately, and finding out that I can queue repeating commands in order to move a particular number of tiles was super useful!

Very very impressive! Good job!
