this is a great idea for this theme.

Really fun idea. I didn't get very far. :sweat_smile:

Super aligned with the theme, I was unable to get the hang of it tho :/

It's interesting, the colors and tones are fresh, but diagonal flying is hard

Interesting idea, but it's little too slow for me. It could be a lot more fun, if it wouldn't take that long when you get direction wrong and have to wait to crash into something to fail and start again. Packages look like background props and I didn't know i can interact with them until I read the description. Apart from that, i quite like it. :)

Great job! It's a really interesting concept.

This was awesome. Aim and release type idea somewhat and hope you hit the next square of reception. I wish you could speed up the drone during it's "uncontrolled" flight since you usually know what's going to happen ... you're going to hit a bird :frowning2: :x:

Awesome job! Thanks for letting me play!

Amazing! One of the few Jam games I replayed a few times to increase my highscore :P One criticism: It is sometimes quite hard to tell how the drone will move after dropping in the parcel, maybe an indicator in form of an arrow?

Would you care spoiling it for everyone and giving hints on how to actually play/control this? I couldn't figure out why my packets wouldn't drop (they flew just a tiny bit) and how long will my drone remain without signal? I cannot get any grasp :(

@pcmaster Sure! Within range of a post office, the drone can be controlled with WASD keys, before leaving the reception area, stack the parcels by dragging and dropping them onto the platform on the bottom. @doc-kaos The drone's speed can actually be controlled by moving the center of balance forward, ex: putting parcels near the front to make the drone go faster.

Great idea and execution! Nice hit on the topic of the competition! The game is already ready for release on mobile platforms.
