Thanks to this game, I now hate birds!

I hate birds and also old people. The core of a fun game is in there! I think if the drone control was a little more free/fast it would be a bit more exciting. I did like the art and level layout, it kinda felt like a lil adventure maybe just cos it looked like a fantasy setting even though there was a drone haha

I like the art! Feels a bit unpolished though! We had a similiar idea at a brainshtorming phase, glad someone made it :) You should check out "art of screenshake" on youtube from a nuclear throne guy, I think you can apply a lot of little things from there to this game and it would be pretty juicy! (if you want to do post jam update)

Cool little game. I wonder why the villagers look low tech and the drone is high tech.

Why are they throwing stones at my drone! I just want to deliver packages. The audio is really catchy - great job :)

@rjdrag thats why they are so angry and trying to take it down :smiley:

I liked this a lot. I would have liked another charging station maybe midway through the level just so i didn't need to go all the way back to the beginning. But it was fun. Great job.

This was a really fun game to play. I thought some of the pixel art was very attractive. I found the drone controls a little bit difficult to grasp, but once I got the hang of it, it was a lot of fun. However, I now have a severe dislike for old people and balloons.

Art was awesome, praise the artist! Great looking for a jam :)

Game played well and everything worked as it should. Took me a second to get a hang of the floatiness of the drone.

Screw those guys throwing rocks at me!!!!

Nice little project overall.

Super fun. I smashed two boxes and only got a 3 star (cursed stone throwers). Music, graphics, controls fit the retro vibe very well, with satisfying precision game play. Great job!

I thought the art and music were very fun and it was enjoyable to weave the drone through the various hazards. Good entry!

Cool game! I think the deliveries were a touch too far, it would have been nice if there were more destinations throughout or like a quick way to return to start maybe? I loved the way this game looked though, very nice and chill.

Great stuff! I loved the title screen and the clouds of the background are really nice, giving a more calming vibe than the music does haha. The movement of the drone could have been a tiny bit faster, but otherwise I had fun playing this. Great job :smiley:

Cool game. Like the graphics!

I encountered one bug. One of the packages fell through the floor and then the falling-sound got stuck in a loop and was playing all the time. :laughing:

I hate to admit, but first thing I tried was hitting a bird. :grimacing: :rofl: Glad they were ok, even if at the cost of immersion. LOL

This is such a cute game. I love the concept!! Such a fun vibe right from the start. I actually really love the mix of high tech and people out in the wilderness. I actually thought I was delivering supplies and food at first which would've been cool.

Here were a couple of my notes from playing: - The art looks killer!! But I think it would feel even more polished if things matched in resolution better. (It's weird how the boxes have so many pixels compared to the background etc). - I wish the controls were snappier/faster. Like I want to be able to go really fast if I choose to. Especially with the delivery point that far away. The trade off is handling or crashing? The horizontal movement just felt slow for a drone imo. - I thought I was delivering to the npcs at first. It wasn't super clear. And even when I made a delivery, some extra positive feedback would be nice. (I was still unclear if I made a successful delivery or not).

Overall, I really loved this! Killer job!

Great game, great art, great music! I would've made it a bit faster and more difficult (like more birds and/or more rocks/balloons thrown by the villagers) but that might be a matter of personal taste. Anyway I liked very much how the overall difficulty was increasing after each delivery.

Also I probably found a bug: whenever I'm on the floor while grabbing a box and then move the drone sideways, the horizontal speeds gets unbalanced to a point where even if I take off again I'm more or less unable to move on one of the two directions unless I try to trigger the same bug again.

Good job anyway!

Amazing art and great soundtrack. Nice game idea! I found it a bit difficult, but I think that is mainly because of the randomly spawned birds that built a wall and didn't let me pass.

Other than that: great game!

I'm happy seeing a different approach to drone controls. A nice skill challenge for me there. The music and mood are fantastic if a little at odds with the background (but so is the drone?). Art is great and the difficulty is a good challenge. Great work!

I am a fan of drones and fly one myself. Why didn't I think of making a game with it :thinking: Nice Work! :thumbsup:

Fantastic vibe, I liked the moon lander inspiration, whether that was intentional or not, I think it benefited from that. However, I feel like it could've benefited from speedier movement, and less boxes to deal with. Overall a lot of fun though and great vibe!

The graphics and music are great! It was a bit hard to move around and I thought the birds were part of the background at first 😋

sheepolution 2023-05-17 00:33

This is pretty good! My only problem is the fact that I need to fly back every time, and that flying is a bit slow. But I like dodging through the birds and the balloons.
