Very nice game for a first game jam! I feel that sometimes the boss is very hard because it keeps spawning drones. But when it doesn't, it becomes very easy and you just need to attack it constantly!

Here is my walkthrough of the game:

Yo thank you so much for enjoying! I can’t tell you enough how happy it made me to have my first game be speedran by someone!

That was a fun game. Really enjoyed to play.

Unfortunately, it seriously lacks ambient and SFX like wind, drone propeller sounds, lightning ets, simply music.

For the future you should consider adding those aspects as they are very important for the game perception.

A few resources, that might help you achieve that.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback but sadly the lack of SFX was more of a technical problem: sound effects in HTML/JS programs take at least a second to load everytime they’re played so there’s no chance of latent SFX. I have yet to find a JS library that can overcome this problem but when I do I’ll definitely look into your resources to get sounds!

Hi, I really enjoyed playing this game, it is quite challenging, but the mechanics are well implemented so it felt very smooth. The idea is very original and the execution is really well done. The art style fits perfectly in my opinion. The only little problem I faced was during the windy levels. When the dialogue finished, the wind stated too suddenly, and I physically couldn't keep the drone in the drack, so I got detected immediately. This was a very minor inconvenience tho, so nothing crazy or game-breaking. I had a lot of fun playing it!

Well done and good luck with it <3333

I liked the art style. but after killing the drones i was unable to do anything. My bad. But nice style and effort. Best of luck

Developer

Hi, thanks for playing. Can you elaborate on what you meant by you couldnt do anything? Did you mean that you couldnt progress to the next level?

Submitted

Yes, after I shot the drones, i were blank about what do do next. An instruction would be better. Maybe there was and sorry if I overlooked it. 

Developer

Yes, as one commenter below has said, you have to keep going left after every level to deliver the package. If you hovered your mouse over the package drone it does say this but I guess it is not clear enough.

Sorry if this inconveniences you but I strongly recommend replaying the game again with this info as you’ve basically missed like 90% of content.

I found it hard at the level just before the boss and at the boss, but it's a cool game with an interesting set of mechanics! 

The art is cool as well. 

Submitted

I enjoyed playing it - great job :)

I wasn't sure what to do to start with - I didn't know that it was possible to move the package to the next screen, so I was just moving the package with the magnet around the screen and not getting anywhere.

After reading the comments on here, I released the package can move to other screens and I tried it again with greater success :)

I did find that you can drag the magnet drone and simply steer the package around the level - wasn't sure if this was intentional.

Still, it looked great and had a nice style - congrats on your 1st Jam entry!

I'm surprised no one has commented on this game! This game is quite cool!! This game was interesting to play, and the added context and story was great. However, this game can be cheesed (or at least I think so), by not placing the magnet drone and dragging the package to the next screen, but It felt correct anyways. This is honestly a cool mix of tower defense and puzzle game in my opinion, with having to plan how to deal with the drones whilst dragging the package drone over. However, the game has a strange difficulty curve by level 9, with the combo of the saw drones and backwards wind, makes it really hard. tried a couple times, haven't beat it. Overall, this game is a quite enjoyable experience, with decently fun mechanics, although the difficulty curve is a bit strange. Nice Work!


(Edit: I've gotten to level 9 about ~5 times, and still haven't beat it. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong :\ )

Developer

Hi man, thanks for enjoying my game! I have now made a walkthrough for the game (which you can see here) if you want to try again with a bit of help.

Submitted

Cool! I swear I was missing something... I'll try that in a while, still got more game to go through!
