Farthest Place by Narwaffles
Control a drone down an endless hole. Avoid obstacles as colliding with them decreases the drones health (This includes walls)
Note: There isn't anything new to see beyond 3000m. Controls:
WASD / Arrow Keys: Move drone Space: Decelerate
Tip: The drone automatically accelerates downwards. Make sure to sure the space bar so that you aren't going too fast that you can't avoid obstacles

One thing I dislike is that the drone doesn't stop moving horizontally. That doesn't really work well with the way you present it returning to it's original rotation when letting go of the buttons. I feel like air resistance would more or less stop it from infinitely going sideways.
That said, I like the idea and I've enjoyed playing it. Perhaps with more variety and polished graphics this could be made into an interesting game. Maybe more obstacles and drone types?
One thing I'm missing from this is some sort of blob shadow beneath the drone, so you can see where you are. The perspective made it a bit difficult to make sure I'm not going to collide with anything.
The controls are nice and smooth, but the camera sometimes made it tricky to see where you were. Bridges can be between the camera and the drone making it impossible to navigate for a couple of seconds. You can also fly outside the camera view frustum.
Congratulations on your LD48 entry!
