How does your game fit the theme?
You control a drone with the WASD / arrow keys or analog sticks on a controller and have to get checkpoints scattered in the level. While performing maneuvers with the drone, each movement type gets damaged and eventually gets disabled. This forces the player to reach the checkpoints via a combination of the other maneuvers.

Good idea. I would have set turning to the right stick / arrows and strafing to the left stick / wasd. Also I didn't really notice the movement types getting damaged. The time was over before even one of them got disabled.

Thanks for taking the time to play! I did switch those controls on purpose for two reasons:

1) I do believe that's how the "headless" piloting of a real drone actually works.

2) By making it a bit confusing there's a bit of a learning curve to it. I did play test with some of my friends and while it was confusing as first, they would soon adapt. I thought it fitted the "out of control" theme of the jam

Cool game and definitely a mindf*ck with all these buttons :'D

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I wanted to make it a bit more dificult than normally since the whole theme is "Out of Control"

Looks, sounds and plays fantastic. Love the concept, but once a couple of your options break, there's not much left you can do.

Developer

Thank you for the feedback! I though about making the controls switch instead of completely failing, so you would have to adapt. Sadly that thought came a bit too late for me to make the change haha
