You fly a cute drone, Collect Coins and drop them off at places.
There currently is no end to the game. You just score points with a timer.

WASD Movement.

When the rope is over the coin press E to attach the coin and Press e again to unattach the coin.

If for some reason you get lost you can press R to reset your drone.

Bring the coins to the collection Zone and score!

I very much do not make graphic art of any kind, this tho I think this is the best I ever did.

Overall very happy with what I have done, I ended up getting pretty sick on the 2nd day that prevented me from working on this but here we are!

For what ever reason I can not get the music working on Itch, So there is a downloaded version if you wish to try that.
Windows x64 only as I do not have a Mac or Linux box.

Future game things I wanted/thought about added:

Time limit, about 2-5 mins per game, AKA a ending that could have shown some stats.

Special coins:

Boost coin - faster drone for a bit

Multiply coin - + 1 multi

More Points coin

more breaking coin

Islands, with textures not just white rect's

Bad guys??

I like it! Thanks for putting that guiding arrow in there. Without that the game would be pretty hard to play. Is there any kind of end condition or anything the player is working toward? One suggestion I have is to put a speed limit on the drone and/or make it less bouncy. I got going really fast and then got between two of the blocks. I just bounced back and forth and there was no way to escape!

No there is currently no end condition I'm just about to head to sleep so I wont have time to add it. But I was going to end the game around the 2 min mark and present a end screen with the score, coins collected and highest multi.

I like the drone movement, and nice job with the pickup mechanic. Adding controls/instructions into the gameplay itself would go a long way for making it easier to pick up, but nice job!

Very fun game to play around with, I started to toss the coins and letting them fall onto the objective while zooming through the map for extra efficiency. Very satisfying :)
You could add some more momentum to the coins when they are dropped, I feel like they get very little momentum horizontally but still very fun to play with.

Pretty fun! The arrow definitely helped a lot, and I really liked the rope physics

@adam-gallina Thank you! I for sure spent way too much of my time on that rope :sweat_smile:

Cool little game! Liked the rope physics with the coin!

I enjoyed flying around, and the bounce off of objects at full speed was satisfying :)

This game is crazy with this drone control movement lol. Feels like I'm trying to steer a plane with a string from the ground. Basic and effective gameplay loop.

I'm sure you're already aware but obviously this game would benefit hugely from polish. Also FEEDBACK. I'm not sure your experience level but these are definitely things to work towards. Hit the player's dopamine receptors when they deliver a coin!

*CHING*

*EXPLOSIONS* ;)

@qooorti Thanks! I definity needed Particles and CHING kinda sound when the player delivered a coin. I'm sure this would not be to hard for me to add. My goal was to make the drone controls a little "floaty" and hard to control.

I was going comment on the controls being a bit too floaty and hard, but I've read in the comments above that was the intention, so well done!
