Drone Racer puts you in the shoes of a drone owner. When you pick up a controller and start moving around the two thumb sticks, you actually feel like you are operating an actual drone. The realistic enough controls and the beauty of seeing the world from the top will leave you with a desire to want one in the real life. Drone Racer is packed with 6 challenges and a practice arena. The challenges difficulty will grow progressively as you move from one challenge to another. Each and every challenge is designed to test your reaction time, maneuvering skills and the speed with which you operate your drone.

Complete all 6 challenges and obtain your performance report :)

The theme is used in the following two ways:

- Every successive challenge will grow in difficulty than the previous one. I have used the theme "grow" in a more tangible or emotional way rather than something physical.

- When playing with a controller, it requires two buttons i.e. Left Thumb-stick and Right Thumb-stick. (This is definitely debatable :D).

THANKS FOR PLAYING!!!

EDIT 1:

1) After receiving some really good feedback. I took time to smoothen the controls -> Drone Racer Post Compo build (https://s3.amazonaws.com/anshulgo.com/jams/droneracer/postcompo/index.html)

2) For some reason Unity webGL build couldn't recognize the controller even if it is already connected. I really appreciate if you could please download the standalone version for better experience.
