DRONE BRIGADE
Immerse yourself in the adventure of the cute Repair Drone Brigade!
You have to control four unique droids with unique tasks available in the game:
- Umbrella Droid [Purple]:
The Umbrella Droid is able to deploy its armored plates while it remains stationary. His task is to protect the ship from the incoming missiles. To do this, he uses his resource, which he replenishes on the purple dock-station.
- Repair Droid [Green]:
The Repair Droid is able to patch up any hole that may appear in the ship's hull. He is also able not only to repair his friends, but also to heal up himself when receiving critical damage. To do all of this, it uses its resource, which can be replenished on the green dock-station.
- Defender Droid [Red]:
The Defender Droid was created for one purpose - to take down any threat from the surface of the ship. For each shot, it uses its own resource, which can be restored on the red dock-station.
- Loader Droid [Yellow]:
The Loader Droid is the heart of any well-coordinated team. It is necessary in order to transfer resources from the docking station directly to other droids.
Fill up your team, escape Galaxy Pirates and upgrade your drones, because there will be a challenge!
TOP TIP!
Cotrols:
LMB - select droid
RMB - move/interact
1-5 - select certain droid
DEFEND YOUR SHIP AND ESCAPE!

Was the main menu song made with AI? The graphics and sounds were impressive, were they really made during the jam?
The gameplay was solid. There are plenty of quality of life things I would have loved to have, but it is extremely difficult to have even a remotely working RTS game during a game jam, so good job!
Despite the fact that I could only squeak through two levels, I enjoyed playing.
in 3 days, the game was made perfectly, although with minor deviations
Let me express my wishes. When the drone runs out of charge, I want the game to indicate with an arrow that it's time for him to go to his dock.
I thought for another half minute. It seems that's all))
Let me ask you how to make the same song as in the start menu?
Graphics and style: Amazing visuals and style. It looks like you put a lot of effort into the details!
Music: The sound adds atmosphere and makes the game more fun.
Idea: The concept with resources and bot management is an interesting approach to RTS.
The game looks impressive, you have created an interesting and fun project.! 👏🌟
I found the game hard but its one of the only games I've played during this jam where I actually think its just a skill issue instead of some fundamental flaw with the game. I.e., its very polished and deliberately designed in a thoughtful way.
I'd love to see the help menu or a tutorial in the main menu because it took me some time to see it :stuck_out_tongue:
Awesome submission!
The music was well done, despite my thoughts on the title theme being AI. Not too fitting for the theme though, felt out of place.
It would be great to have the shortcut numbers shown above the robots, I often selected the wrong robot and then the purple one ended up trying to repair holes or something...
I dislike the use of AI though, especially in a game jam.
Edit: I just read that the red droid needs to resupply. That definitely could have been communicated better in game, but obv this is a game jam. At least it's not a bug!
Edit: Yes, we wanted to provide more clear information about the limited resources available, but we didn't have enough time before the submission deadline)
Amazing job on this project, especially for such a short time frame! :))
1) pick circle dont show when drone on charge.
2) On second level changes hotkey on droids, like repair droid was on 2, and now it is on 3.
Absolutely stellar work guys you should be very proud :)
