War of the Drones by galchwyn

[raw]
made by galchwyn for LD25 (COMPO)
In an overcrowded world where human population grows wildly, Goverment has found a way to control it usin Drones. As a Drone AI, your mission is to find humans and kill them, flying over their insulting faces. But be careful, there are some human controlled artifacts that will chase you. Lucky you, they are slower simply because they are humans. And you can win Points, indeed!

You can find it in here ( http:manelvf.com/drones )

The code is pure Javascript and is on the web uncompressed. It uses the amazing lightweight library Zepto.js and bits of code I found on the internets (nothing serious). I will add a Github link in the next days.

It was an amazingly amusing experience. I will repeat.

I love the art and the color palette, but the gameplay is a little repetitive and the sudden framerate drop is pretty jarring. appearance is great though :).

Nice control scheme, but clicking the mouse button in the middle of play should not restart the level, i found myself very confused by this.

Thanks for the feedback. The level restart on click is a bug I didn't found on development, despite it's trivial. Framerate is better on Chrome (as you should expect), but sure it can be improved. Gameplay can be improved too, I want to do it a multiplayer game. Thanks again

The humans have not been accurately modelled. Have you played to much pacman lately? :)

I enjoyed this little game and liked the simple and funny graphics. You could easily expand this game to something even better!

I like the color palette, but couldnt find the challenge in the game, apart from taunting the computer AI.

On my computer(MacOS/Chrome) framerate is consistent. The gameplay is too simple, though.

The gameplay here is too simple to be very engaging and without a story it's just not a very engaging experience. The controls worked well and I liked the simple aesthetic, though.

I like the style, it looks cool with the colors and everything.

The gameplay is not very challenging or engaging. It's not very difficult to run away from the artifacts, and so playing seems a little pointless after a little while.

You should also make sure that the mouse button doesn't restart, cause it took me forever to figure out what was going on.
