Oh, this idea is really good and interesting! :D I liked maneuvering the drone by controlling its orientation, though it was quite hard. I also liked the auto-leveling that brought it back into position and I'm glad the countdown stopped while extinguishing the fire with water. I love the drone's art style and animations, they look really neat. Well done! :)

Idea is cool. I like games with hard physical control. I'm glad someone decided to make a game in this genre <3
But I'm sure physics wasn't intended to be like that

Also, the game really lacks markers that the house outside the screen is on fire. I tried to put out the house, but I lost because the house that I didn't even see burned down :-(

Thanks a million!I was actually planning to place down arrows with a marker on either side of the screen to warn the player, but being a game jam (and me annoyingly not begun making the game for the jam until a day after it started) didn't end up having enough time before the deadline hit; sorry that you ended up losing cos of this :(

To be completely honest, I had in fact at first coded in a PID controller for the drone, which would help the drone to be more stable in one tiny location, but decided that would -- and I quote myself -- "make it too easy" XD (turns out not an amazing idea when the game is too difficult for a lot of the game's audience, but oh well!)

Thanks a lot for the feedback, and I'm glad you liked it!

It's a bit hard to control the drone, but the concept is interesting!

Really well thought and cool idea i really liked it though it was super hard to control the drone so i couldnt actually spray water correctly without flying away the art is good too i also would have loved having some sfx but otherwise great game dude.

Developer

I do agree some good sfx and music could add greatly to the experience, but unfortunately ran out of time this jam :( Thank you very much for playing and the kind words!

anytime, be proud for delivering a game in 4 days!

Nice idea! I found it super hard to fly the drone though, keeping it stable is so tough

Developer

Thanks! ;) The drone mechanics was initially designed to be slightly tough to keep completely stable until mastered (somewhat similar to an actual drone),  but looks like I might have overdone it a very tiny bit....... whoops!...

Haha this game is very addictive! Really nice idea

Developer

Thanks a bunch! Glad you liked it :D

I wish the waterspout pushed my drone in the opposite direction. I can see how this can become very addictive to try and score attack!

Developer

Thanks for the feedback and the kind words, and hope you enjoyed it!
