Controls

'W''S'- change speed
'A''D'- Strafe
'R'F'- change height
Left Click- Fire Gun
Right Click- Drop breadcrumb
Left Shift- Full Stop
You are in charge of the finest robocopter that could be found on sale. You must transport the bomb deep into the underground bunker, plant it, then escape before it explodes. It won't be easy, enemy blimps and turrets patrol the tunnels, you will have to fight your way through. Use breadcrumbs to mark your path, you will have to escape quickly.
Level will randomly change each time you play, making the maze harder to get through
This was our first time using the new unreal engine, things went well but in order for the game to run you will have to have the latest Visual C++ Redistributable. Can find it in the download links or in the game package. Download the vcredist_x86.exe in order for the game to work.
Enjoy the game!

I unfortunately didn't drop the bomb. I found the game pretty hard and difficult to control. Great effect though when shooting and the explosions are really nice. Also the lighting is great, so it's a pretty good looking game.
Other than that: Dat download.
I have to join in on the size complaints though; a gig of hard drive space for an LD game is too much.
Seriously though, you have some of the best 3d graphics at this jam. And the idea has a lot of potential, but the controls feel unresponsive and I can't seem to figure out where to go or what to shoot with all the cool explosions.
