A bit uncontrollable, not quite sure if that was the point or not. Its quite difficult to get from A to B without crashing.

Are the credits lost upon reset? Cool game otherwise though, the lighting is nice, could be a bit brighter though, it's a bit hard to see.

It was difficult for me to collect the gold bar and not tip over. It was fun controlling the robot.

torculus 2023-05-02 02:47

Honestly really impressed with this in general, although the controls are really finicky and too sensitive, making it hard to do stuff. It's fun though, and pretty well polished too!

adam-gaskins 2023-05-02 02:58

Piloting a delivery drone is such a cool concept! The controls were difficult, but I got better over time and it seemed like the upgrades helped too :)

tommeh 2023-05-02 03:04

Learning how to control the drone was very satisfying. Nice job on the drone simulation! It was really hard to get the first upgrade but it was worth it. Good job

brick2face 2023-05-02 04:15

Controls were tricks, but graphics and game mechanics were very impressive. Excellent work!

partysquadmember 2023-05-02 04:15

Fun to play and learn. Addicting game to find myself in a trance of perfection. Great work!

breadliner 2023-05-02 04:38

I really like the concept here! I think if there was an easier way to flip the drone after it's fallen on its back, this would be perfectly replayable. There's a ton that can be done with the concept, I already imagine a lot of platforming puzzles with this interesting control scheme and its physics. Great job, I would love to see this get more polish and levels!

Pretty difficult to control (echo others). The graphics are also a little dark -- I was very surprised to just go up!

chompdev 2023-05-02 06:16

This is a very solid jam entry! I love the audio work and music selection. The flight and shooting mechanics are pretty interesting and a fun challenge. I really like how your guns are side-mounted so you can't attack things above you, while horizontal attacks limit you to using one gun at a time, and centering an enemy below you allows you to use both guns. The amount of work that went into this is just all-around impressive, from the audio, to controls, to the upgrade system, to enemy AI. Very nicely done!

I'm to silly to control the drone

gabriele-marconi 2023-05-02 17:59

Very cute! Love the visuals and the gameplay loop. Aside from difficulty issues (i really suck a precise inputs :laughing:) i would add a flip button instead of having to respawn every time you flip, that would make the game a bit more enjoyable i think. Great work!

pianoman373 2023-05-02 18:02

It took a bit to get used to but after lots of practice, the drone controls actually become really enjoyable! I agree with the other comments that the lighting is too dark. It actually took me quite some time to realize there's more stuff up above. I just kept delivering to the first green pad and thought that was it but I'm glad there was more!

ugly-robot 2023-05-02 18:41

A very challenging, but very engaging game! I can't imagine how tough it must have been to perfect the thrust, weight, etc. Very fun just to zip around on the drone - shocked you were able to add such depth in such a short amount of time! Combat was thrilling, delivering the gold was precise and satisficing, and the thrust sounds and effects were so powerful and juicy. Though I wasn't able to get far, I really enjoyed my time. Thanks!

drazil100 2023-05-02 19:58

It was a little too easy to flip yourself and respawning was a little too slow. Other than that I really liked this game concept. The controls were solid and it didn't take me long to figure out what I was doing.

terryg 2023-05-03 00:08

hahaha, I also flipped myself into the spawn. It looks like a few other people had the same problem. so fancy though! well done!

2023-05-03 00:34

Not an easy game but I had fun flipping upside down and such. Very amusing content. Was only really able to deliver the gold bars to that first bucket. I enjoyed the sound design, I thought it worked very well.

carkh 2023-05-03 00:44

nice everything, and on theme. Controlling this thing is hard, but rewarding. I overworked that respawn button =)

mixelpixel 2023-05-03 03:53

Very easy to flip yourself over and forced to restart. Music and art were pretty cool, but like everyone else said, the controlling is pretty difficult

risingleaf 2023-05-03 04:15

Fun game but it took me a while to learn how to fly, the acceleration is a bit hard. Nice graphics and audio.

calamador 2023-05-03 04:24

Really cool game, the atmosphere with was excellent! With the music, background, and deep bass of the rocket thrumming it did a great job of feeling like one of the more epic package delivery games I've played in this Jam. I wasn't able to control it very well unfortunately but I appreciate the fact that your game was very on theme and has a lot of depth to the mechanics.

attala 2023-05-03 05:29

The concept of this game is actually quite the same as mine :) I enjoy this kind of gameplay. It's hard to master but if you give it some tries it gets easier all the time. The atmosphere you created is awsome, and the music is great too.

eric-nguyen 2023-05-03 05:46

Wow, let's just say I am glad that repairs are free :sweat_smile:

I really liked the music and atmosphere that the sound effects created. I did eventually get enough upgrades to carry multiple gold bars at once! Which was very satisfying. Keep it up!

exilon 2023-05-03 07:28

Concept is cool but the rocket is kinda hard to control and the objective isn't too clear.

teun-de-vries 2023-05-03 10:53

Very nice game! had a lot of fun trying to deliver the gold bars, I was a bit too greedy though, trying to do multiple at a time. It wasn't completely clear to me at first you had to go up after delivering enough packages at the first station, so I just kept delivering them to the same station.

mkraw 2023-05-03 11:55

Nice work on the movement and particles

patrick-abernathy 2023-05-03 13:41

This was well done. The controls took getting used to since i kept losing altitude when going left or right and I ended up upside down more than once. But it was cool.

aloya 2023-05-03 15:58

I'm stuck((

alisher-fazilov 2023-05-03 20:00

Very good game, makes you waste your nerve)

cheesecube 2023-05-03 21:04

A bit difficult for a jam game I think, but surprisingly fun! I couldn't get past the first level, but I still spent 10 minutes trying and enjoying myself. It kind of reminds me of games like getting over it where part of the fun is how difficult the controls are.

captaindreamcast 2023-05-03 21:45

I beat it! The final fight against the three drones and the fourth one at the top was brutal, but I emerged victorious!

Super intense and fun game! Carefully maneuvering the drone felt like a very careful dance, and I could really feel myself getting better at it with time, I enjoyed that learning curve experience! The upgrades were great too, I think my favorite was the thrusters, there's just something innately satisfying about carrying multiple gold bars at the same time with a drone. I also enjoyed the in-depth stats of the drone in the HUD, that made it feel more tactical, like I could choose from which side I attack other drones from based on that for example. So yeah, all in very cool and fun game you made, well done!

mr-deku 2023-05-03 22:50

Nice idea idea, but really hard fot control, I wish the drone was more floaty!

balimaarthebassfish 2023-05-03 23:51

A nice looking game with solid audio. I feel I have to echo a few of my fellows here about the drone controls but aside from that, its a brilliant entry (especially for a first time! well done!)

blotosaur 2023-05-04 04:09

Very well put together, but the controls are hard to grasp. I couldn't gather enough credits to upgrade, it seems, or I didn't figure out how. Great job!

diego-escalante 2023-05-05 19:53

It is quite a tricky game. After a lot of attempts, I was barely able to to deliver gold to the first zone right next to it. The music and mood of the game fit the visuals pretty well. I can tell a lot of care went into the game, I just wasn't talented enough to complete it. Good work!

t-c 2023-05-06 20:24

Got to the end! Very, very tough to control, tough to shoot, tough to see. But the game came together pretty well! I got lost after delivering the 3rd bar, didn't know if that was the end or if there was more, took me awhile to find the ceiling that opened up. Maybe an indicator of where things are opening up might be good since it's all off screen? Also, I had 0 credits the whole time, and I didn't know how to get more. Either way, for a first time game it came together very well, and the game as a whole was a very well designed and complete! Good work

deadbydeath 2023-05-12 07:42

Very nice atmosphere in the game. I liked the music and the graphics a lot, even though the graphics were a little bit darker than usual.

Regarding the controls of the game I liked the fact that you need to invest time to learn how to fly the drone, though I experienced some problems with the drone being unresponsive.

In general it was a very good entry! Good job!

aeveis 2023-05-18 03:05

was able to do the first delivery, but controls were very hard to keep balance, especially with the gold on the drone. I wasn't sure when I could upgrade or where the upgrade points were. I liked the delivery part with some of the combat, though I would immediately get killed haha. keep up the good work!
