Very fun game! I would maybe suggest adjusting the camera, it was sometimes difficult to avoid unseen obstacles.

A very fun little game. I think the camera should follow in front of the player so you can see where you're going. Also, the maximum speed for a safe landing feels a bit too low.

it was really difficult, but this is an exciting product for compo! GG

I especially loved the dangerous drone-eating hawk <3 <3 <3

The game is too difficult, in my opinion. It's really hard to land without breaking legs, and hard to fly without birds ramming you. I would suggest making more sparing "soft" legs, so player would not loose the game on delivery sight. Also people suggested shifting camera forwards to where the drone is flying, so avoiding birds would be easier.
With all the other aspects it's good, especially good that you included sound and music. It's just need adjusting difficulty a bit lower. Good job!

Cool game. Great sound effects, liked the graphics, thought the drone was pretty nice to control, and it was easy to pick up and start playing.

Agree with the other commenters it's a bit difficult (for the reasons they mention also I found the eagle difficult to escape when delivering to the left hand side of the map).

That said I couldn't stop playing because the music was so good. Every time I died I'd restart straight away and try stay alive longer so I could hear more of the song. In the end I sat around on the game over screen for a while jamming out.

Really clever to make the collect zone also where you refill the energy. I've enjoyed couple minutes moving around. The sound and art fits well together, good job!
One small feedback is that the buildings on the background could be a bit different from the ones that you can collide and the camera could show a bit more so it's easier to spot the birds while you move.

Cool game. But a bit too hard, in my opinion. It is really hard to avoid birds, eagles and not run out of energy. Besides that, nice job with the game. It was fun to try it out!
