fun game. i enjoyed playing it, didnt even realize there we upgrades afterwards (the way you select upgrades is cool). i think the pacing of the game is a bit off though, I felt the levels should end sooner

Idea is simple, but not bad. Don`t like the music. And too much void. Everything else is great. Nice job!

I like the 'helicoptery' feel of the drone. I also like how the upgrade screen uses the same gameplay as the main game, and I enjoyed the music. I do think levels could be shorter, for a faster and more compelling upgrade loop.

The upgrades are definitely a cool addition, I agree with that. Had a pretty good experience going for force + drag giving me a wall controllable drone that wasn't super slow. If I may ask, what do the food upgrades change besides from the item having a chance to show up during the delivery. The three levels gave a nice variety in how one needs to fly as well, so there was a bit of difference in that, which I appreciated. Overall very enjoyable!

Fun little game! I agree with Ramin, levels should probably end sooner, or at least give an option to quit. I did end up unlocking every single upgrade though! Big fan of the developer drone.

Nothings worse than being stuck in a tree with the sushi going bad. What a nightmare.

Great game, I really liked the way the drone controls and I think that's what made the game so fun. It felt difficult at first but rewarding to get the hang of it. I also really liked the idea of upgrading your drone to make it easier to control.

Navigating the shop with your drone was also a nice unique idea, although at times it was frustrating, such as when I spawned right next to the confirm button and wasn't able to buy anything that round.

Also, I'm assuming that all of the tier 5 upgrades had a larger impact on the movement than the lower ones. If this is the case, I think you should have to start at tier 1 from all the upgrades, and work upwards. Because I immediately bought tier 5 of most things and the drone felt a lot easier to control after only a couple of rounds.

Overall, the game was very fun and I think there's a lot of ways you could expand on it in the future. I would love to see some more obstacle types; maybe moving obstacles such as birds to get in your way. More food spawning at one time could also be good, so that you'd have to think more about your route.

Not bad! It was fun to earn lots of cash after getting the upgrades. I ended up getting all the upgrades in the end and the Developer Drone was not what I expected it would be, haha.
