Control a drone, collect fruits, upgrade, collect more fruit.
The year is 2069. AI didn't make it. But drones did. Now drones are used to collect the fruits of genetically enhanced super trees that grow really tall and grow all kinds of fruits at the same time. This job ain't easy, but at least it's also not paid well. There do be some fruits to collect tho...
Instructions:
1. You play with WASD or Arrow Keys + Space + Shift
2. The drone physics take some time to get used to. The drone has stabilization but it's easy to oversteer. I recommend "tapping" the direction keys for precise controls. (Upgrades to improve drone handling didn't make it into the game sorry)
3. Fly up and rightwards to find fruits on trees. Pick them up with space.
4. Bring the fruit to the basket next to the upgrade stations.
5. Be careful not to break the drone. A new drone is expensive. Restart the game with Ctrl+R.
6. Use cash to purchase upgrades, repair and recharge.
Unfortunately I did not manage to reach the stage where I get to work on audio, balancing or late game polish.
So yea, a lot of fruit in the late game isn't reachable and the balancing is probably way off.
I am disappointed in myself. But I think the game concept is still one of my best with a lot of potential and possibilities. Maybe that was also the problem...too many possiblities. Not enough time.
I need to stop thinking I have to make a full game with a bunch of mechanics. I should instead focus on a single mechanic and get that right. Well well
