drone-a-pult by ChrisGaudino
Pilot your drone-a-pult and fire projectiles to knock down the walls!
Tip: If you're having trouble making some of the longer shots, trying taking a run up at the line before shooting to get some extra oomph.
EDIT: I've uploaded a post-jam version as well with a new slow motion effect to make it a bit easier to line up shots.
Controls:
WSADQE to move. Double tap in any direction to perform a flip.
Shift to climb.
Conrol to descend.
Touch a projectile to pick it up.
Perform a flip, then left click or space bar to release the projectile.
Right click and drag to rotate camera.
M toggles mute
T toggles fullscreen
You cannot cross the red line.
Knock the wall down below the line shown to win!

Note to Chrome users: Sorry, I tried the webgl export, but it just wasn't satisfactory at this point. If you'd rather not use the workaround to re-enable NPAPI, I did include standalone builds for Windows, Mac, and Linux (they run better than the webplayer anyway).
Known bugs:
If you hit the ground too hard (like during a flip), the 'springiness" of the catapult arm can launch you pretty far, including over the red line.
The blue 'win' line is sometimes black (so far only seen on Windows).
There seems to be some input lag in the webplayer version. It is much easier to time your shots in the downloaded version.

Only concern was that you couldn't exit the game...? Didn't rate down for that of course tho.
With some simple but nicer graphics, I guess you could turn this into a real game/toy :)
And yet...and yet....
Why am I having so much fun!?!?!
Cool idea for a physics puzzler here. Well done!
