Alpha 0.20 released!

Early build of the game, 11 levels available!

Last one is presenting challenge of mid-end game difficulty, so be ware!

If you have performance issues in web version - disable dynamic shadows in options. Game runs much faster on windows.

Looking for feedback on physics and drone controls, around 20-30 minutes to beat - not counting last level though ;)

Your goal is to reach the end landing zone as quickly as possible. Can you get gold on all the levels?

Try to fly the drone with disabled auto-balancer (toggle with 1), it's harder but gives more freedom!


Controls:

WSAD / Arrow keys - Control drone

F / Z - Start engine

E / X - Change legs to crane and vice versa

I / K - Pull and extend rope when crane is active

Space / C - Grab objects with crane

1 - Toggle autobalancer

ESC - Pause the game

Enter - Restart current level


Gamepad controls:

Left Analog - Control Drone

Left Trigger - Decrease throttle

Right Trigger - Increase throttle

Triangle - Start Engines

Circle - change legs to crane and vice versa

Right Analog Up / Down - pull and extend rope when crane is active

Cross - Grab objects with crane

Select - Restart current level

Start - Pause the game


Alpha 0.20

  • Added SFX and Music - 3 songs
  • Added HUD showing health, damage, and autobalancer status
  • Revolutionized flying physics. Drone feels more responsive now and it's easier to control.
  • Fixed bug where damage from hitting environment would be doubled in random situations
  • Many other minor bug fixes


Alpha 0.19

  • Added ghosts - now when you replay level ghost of your best time will be flying behind
  • Added remapping keys options - was real pain in the a** to do, but I think I nailed it. Game should now be able to detect any gamepad that windows detects - just go to controls and remap it. Same for keyboard.
  • No longer need to start engine at the beginning of each level. Timer will start as soon as input from player is detected
  • Fixed bug where player could stick drone to wall when hitting it at low speed while drone was sideways
  • Added restart level and quit game options to pause menu
  • Huge performance improvements for dynamic shadows! (200-500%) depending on PC ^^ (specially windows version, leave dynamic shadows off for playing in browser)


Alpha 0.18

  • Added 3 new levels!
  • Reworked all previous levels to add lights
  • Added dynamic lighting and shadows! (still experimental - can be turned off in options if you experience performance issues). Works better on windows version.
  • Added normal mapping to environment and drone
  • Added new enemy type and 5 variations - Rolling Laser
  • Fixed memory leak when restarting the level
  • Fixed bug where rope pulling speed was smaller than expected in random situations.


Alpha 0.17:

New Features:

  • added possibility to manually extend and pull the rope with I and K keys, or right analog on gamepad.
  • added 3 new levels (previous level 5 is now level 8, so if you completed it before, check out 5 again ;) )


Adjustments:

  • changed trophy times to be slightly easier to get
  • increased max rotation angle when using auto - balancer from 30 to 35
  • increased drone power from 1.8 to 2.0
  • increased drone rotation speed from 1.6 to 1.8
  • increased speed of rope engine from 1.5 to 1.7


Bug Fixes:

  • fixed bug where crane could go through player while rope was pulled back automatically
  • fixed bug where pause didn't work on controller in windows build
  • fixed bug with throttle not working correctly when using gamepad in web build

Hi Mate,
Thank you so much! I'm really happy you liked it!

Seems great. Sort of reminds me of Gravity Defied and other bike games.
