A Puzzle game! You play a little drone and must get to the energy core!
However your energy supply is low which is why you can only make one move in each direction!

First time making a game with Game Maker^^

Have fun solving 9 levels :) And don't explode!

Huh, weird, I made an alternate download from Dropbox

Reading the description, it seems as if we have similar game mechanics. Interesting :)) What did you make this in?

I made it in Game Maker + a bit of Photoshop

Download and play worked OK for me.

Nice puzzle gameplay.
Did take a while for me tackle the challenge at the beginning where you only have to move to the right out of screen. ;)

Hey nice main mechanics, and nice aditionnal mecanics too ! You should maybe accelerate the avatar's speed, so we will not have to wait so much time before making another movement. Also use the R button to directly restart the level.
Great work ;)

"hit ESCAPE to rage quit" - It's not working D:

Anyway, interesting concept, this makes for a very nice puzzle game. The levels are well designed and tricky to beat. I wish the drone would move faster, though. It's a bit tiring to watch it trudge along when, especially when you make mistages and have to replay the beginning of a stage.

Ow he alternative link is working! Great game! The power ups in the puzzles really are a nice additional factor. Nice work

Nice, thought fourth level is quite discouraging :)

A bit of a twist to an old idea, nice to see there are multiple solutions to each level too. I've seen so many of these games that it felt pretty easy. The music was a bit annoying.

Quite enjoyed it. Some of the later levels were perhaps accidentally easy, but I liked the idea anyway. The music was nice too.

Nice nice nice nice. Got me hooked until the end. Nice even the little surprise in the ending : )

I liked this game a lot. It could use some polishing/balancing, but the basic puzzle design was brilliant. You took a few simple concepts and built some really challenging puzzles. I haven't beaten the game yet, but I will definitely give this another playthrough and keep going until I win. Great work.
