Nice man. The tutorial is really objective and simple. The controls it's a litle buggy, and I alsom don't understand the goal of the game.

Thank you for testing. Yes I noticed, that between 90 and 180 Degree the drone behaves weirdly. That has already been fixed and if you want to, you can have a new look at it in about 2-3 days in the next update.  That update will only include some fixes, proper buildings with collision and some minor additional features. Now that I am no more under the Game Jam stress, I am reworking the whole Graphics and general structure of the code, which will make it easier to add new stuff.

There is no goal yet. This is rather a way for me to try out mechanics and see how people react to them. I realised that I had too much fun coding this project, that in the end, instead of making  this a proper complete Game Jam game, I decided to create a real complete minor/medium sized game,  which will be finished approximately in  a month or two.

It's a great foundation for a game! Maybe allowing the use of A and D to turn left and right would be a bit more intuitive although you honestly get used to the mouse controls pretty fast. I'd love to see the fully fleshed out version of this.

Thanks for testing.

I went through about 10-15 different movement controls iterations, because I just was not happy with it and I did not want to add more features before I finish the controls, as I would probably had to redo these new features after changing the movement.  I just changed so much all the time that i just was not able to add more mechanics/objects and then suddenly the 72 hours were over and i had to submit. You are right that there should at least be some sort of interaction with A and D. I think I will add a weaker thrust to the side when using A and D.

Looks like it has real potential. Cool idea.

Thank you. I learned quite much from this jam and know that I have to think smaller for the next one. 

Are the controls okay or do you think that I still need to work on that? I am thinking of finishing this game after the jam is over.

When I am on the pc again, I am going to try out your submission as well :D

I thought they were a little challenging at first, but I got the hang of them pretty quickly. If you can swing it, gamepad support would go really well with this game, mostly because real drones use very gamepad-like controls.
