Nice game! I got to level 11! I like that you had the level select in case I wanted to come back! At first, I was frustrated with the controls, but I got used to them. Quite a lot of levels and high difficulty tho. It was annoying that there was no way to flip the drone back over once it was on its side. The knock-back when you land the drone was pretty inconsistent, too. All of that is manageable, but I feel it could have been mitigated by some extra design.The music and tutorialization were great, and I feel it is a nice use of the theme. Keep it up!

The game was really challenging and I love that! Awesome art and music as well. I hope you make more levels in future updates!

Submitted

A very unique game concept. Nice game work and art style is also great. Hope you will make more games in future.

Please try my game also:

What an impressive game design! This is very hard to play, in a good way since its a rage-game. I managed to beat 10 levels, so close but that was the best that I can do

The game has great design, sounds, mechanics, the transition is also smooth and clean loved it the most. Congrats on this game its really really good!

Me when I try to beat it... But failed at the end 

Lol

HAHAHAHAHA, I at least wish you enjoyed it brother. I am happy its doing its intended purpose.

No mobile Controls. But what I saw till level 1 look so plosihed like main screen, loading screen and instructions.

Developer

Yeah. looks like many people on this jam Is currently limited to mobile controls and I'm  afraid I did not consider mobile controls while in development.

This game is very hard, sometimes i make mistake between left and right propeller, but fun

Developer(+1)

Thank you for playing and pushing through regardless of the difficulty. I think I really did make a difficult game to master. I am just happy you at least enjoyed it.

Submitted(+1)

It's very cool and I really like the design, but the drone is super hard to control. I think the focus should have been adjusted better. 

Developer

Thank you for playing my game and giving honest feedback. This game will actually be an actual full game in the future so your feedback will be taken seriously and Yes I am aware how hard it is but I guess I ramped it a bit higher. I am happy you still pushed through regardless of the difficulty. 

Submitted(+1)

Man this game is so fun and hard at the same time! Sadly I just stuck at level 11:( Great work!

Developer

Bro reaching 11 means you at least have already gained the perfect control for the drone.  Thanks for your patience on my difficult game.

Really fun concept and great control mechanics here. The sounds and visuals get a good rating from me too.

For feedback, I’d suggest leaning more toward the classic “rage game” style (Like Happy wheel), where it doesn’t matter how you reach the goal as long as you get there.

Right now, I enjoy the idea a lot, but the very sensitive controls and strict landing requirements and no self recovery is killing the fun a bit for me.

The core idea is solid though! you’ve got something really cool here!

Developer

Ohh thank you, I thought anything hard to control and make you frustrated is considered a rage platformer. Thanks for informing me. This game will undergo a remake in 3d based from the feedback in this jam so I am so happy you gave such important insight. I am also happy you still pushed through regardless.

Submitted(+1)

This game is so hard lol or i just suck

If you could take a look at my game too it would mean a lot :)

Developer

This game is intentionally designed to be difficult so no its not your fault but it is also designed to gain control by playing more. I am just happy you still pushed trough regardless my dude. 

Yes surely Ill be playing yours shortly.:D

WHOA!! hahahahaha it got me hooked! hahaha, it's easy to play and controls are simple too, the level difficulty is perfect!, I mean, I felt I had concluded the level when I fell in the objective platform, but then I looked at the instructions, and really got me worried hahaha "How am I supposed to land it?" hahaha, yet I made it to level 3, the spikes and the place of the platform... I might be playing it until I finish every level hahaha.

Good job!! really enjoyed the game design, the music, sfx, art and everything overall!

:D

Developer

I am happy you found the difficulty balance and thank you for enjoying my game.

Awesome little game! I normally do Pros first, but since I have so much good to say about the game, cons first:

Cons:

  • The controls are just a little too sensitive for my tastes, and failure is unforgiving. The ‘R’ reset is handy, but it would be better if the player had another way to self recover rather than ‘reset’.

Pros:

  • Fully realized idea with a clear UX in mind
  • Simple, yet addictive - I kept playing again and again trying to land this sucker, despite the difficulty.
  • The graphics and audio are simple, and that’s fine - it all works together
  • I absolutely love the particle system air flow - it’s just a little detail, but it is very nicely done. This shows polish.
Developer

Thank you so much for you honest and super concise feedback. This game will undergo A remake in 3d so your insights will be verry helpful to future development. I am happy you still pushed through regardless of the difficulty and got addicted to it hope due to fun and not just pure frustration. Thank you.

For me was extremely complicated. I need like 70 tries (maybe more) to pass level 1. But then, level 2 was for me very easy. My best was level 7.

The game is really cool, interesting. It reminds me aesthetically to a Game Boy Advance or Wii game (with this cozy music, the moving background…). Easy to understand, (very) hard to master.

Maybe you can make a version with “easy mode” where the loss of control are less precise hehe.

Congrats, your game is fantastic!

Developer(+1)

Thank you so much and yes this game is just a prototype to the upcoming 3D version so any pros and cons feedback is verry verry helpful for future reference during development. Thank you

Submitted(+1)

really fun! reminds me of that old lunar lander game by atari

Developer(+1)

Bro to be honest I do not know that game so I searched it up online , watch some short gameplay, and yeah It really has a similarity to it and some people also said my recreated the RC helicopter mission in GTA Vice City but in 2D. Anyways thanks for playing man.

Submitted(+1)

It was very fun and not complicated to learn, controls are simple and i like the challenge of trying to balance the drone and landing it properly, hard at first but it gets really fun. Very good entry! 

Developer(+1)

Yeah thanks a lot brother, It is really a type of game like flappy bird that the more you play the better you get good at it and of course the more satisfying it is to complete harder levels.

Good game. Art and music is wonderful but my god is it hard.

Developer

I am deeply sorry but the game is designed that way but I am glad you pushed through regardless. I hope you at least enjoyed it an maybe just maybe some little frustration since it is its intended goal. Again I apologize if the difficulty curve is too steppe.

Submitted(+1)

The game is very fun and challenging. A lot of work has been put into the animations.

Developer

Thank you! I hope you at least enjoyed my game and thanks for appreciating the work I put on the animations.

Submitted(+1)

Aaaw! This is one of the game that is really into the Gamejam theme! However I couldn't complete any level as I couldn't figure out how to properly control the drone without crashing it. I'd say the controls are a bit too much difficult for me. But I love the concept! On a side note, something that might help would be to display the control scheme even on other levels IF user didn't start from level 1. I started from level 2 and didn't know where to press in order to take off.

Developer

Ohh yeah I did not think people would straight go to other level except 1 so my bad. I am happy you still pushed through regardless of the difficulty but its really designed that way, I at least hope you enjoyed playing it and maybe frustrated a bit since its a rage platformer game like "getting over it" HEHEHEHe. Thanks.

Wanted to try/rate the game but no mobile controls :( 

If you got a min give a try to mine :)

Developer

Ohh I am so sorry, I did not take consideration of mobile controls I am afraid I cant do anything for that since editing game is prohibited during rating phase. I am so sorry. ill give yours a try for sure.
